REVIEW – Of all the things that have become the “new normal” when working from home, attending meetings has probably undergone the biggest change.

REVIEW – Like many people, I take a lot of pictures with my smartphone. I enjoy my photos by adding them to my (analog) journal and to do that, I have used small photo printers that print 2 x 3 inch photo stickers. I’ve been using printers like the Polaroid Zip and the HP Sprocket

REVIEW – With the huge improvements in camera phones lately, the procedures for getting better shots have migrated from the “megapixel/lens” level of discussion to such perennial photography topics as light quality management and filters.

REVIEW – Hands. We rely on them daily. I’m using them right now to type these words for you to enjoy. Work like this doesn’t take much protection. But, other types of work, like gardening, building, and so on, can take a toll on your hands unless you protect them. I had the opportunity to

REVIEW – Back in 2016, I reviewed the Swann SWNVK-873004 3MP surveillance camera system that has stood guard over our home for nearly half a decade.

REVIEW – Speakers can vary wildly in terms of sound profiles and quality. While I’m no audiophile (speaker snob), I do appreciate a nice set of monitors.
