REVIEW – In the evenings I like to kick back and relax by watching videos on my iPad. Usually I’m watching a movie on Netflix or Amazon Prime, videos on YouTube, or a Dota 2 tournament on Twitch. For my audio, I typically use a pair of Apple headphones, the older wired variety. Lately I’ve

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’ve been a big fan of wirelessly charging my smartphone for years. I remember back in the day before it was built into most phones, that I hacked my Samsung Note2 to have that feature. The bulk of wireless chargers that we see on the market are flat slabs which don’t allow

REVIEW – I have loved notebooks, diaries, and journals since I was a young kid. As an adult, my fondness for stationery has gotten a little more refined. These days I don’t settle for a composition book and a Bic pen. I want my notebooks to feel AND look unique. One way to do this

REVIEW – Everyone has their own EDC kit needs, and while it’s nearly unanimously agreed that every EDC kit needs a knife (or at least something with a blade), a large knife isn’t always necessary or feasible for everyone’s daily needs. For those folks, the WESN Microblade 2.0 might fit the bill. This tiny-but-mighty folding
