REVIEW – One of my favorite kinds of flashlights are the kind that are keychain-sized, and rechargeable via USB. Today I get to try out a successor to one of my favorites. Will it take the top spot as my go-to everyday carry flashlight? What is it? The TIP SE is a 700 lumen USB-C […]

REVIEW – There are certain trade-offs we have to make when living indoors and using technology. One is that we need to keep things relatively clean, or the dust bunnies and hair-ball tumbleweeds will cause our tech to heat up and malfunction. Of course, for technical folks, there are technical solutions to all problems, and

REVIEW – Our household is one of mountain bikers, skaters, runners and climbers. It should come as no surprise that we are frequently sore and often nursing some adverse result of our beloved activities. We have a variety of foam and hand rollers, tens units and deep tissue leverage devices along with the requisite hot

REVIEW – I hate fan noise. When I built a PC, I went through great pains to pick quiet fans and components. When the bathroom fan got noisy, I replaced the motor. If I got a fancy fan to keep me cool, I wouldn’t keep it if I found the noise distracting. It’s time to

REVIEW – Each year on average in the United States a person throws away about 100 pounds of produce. From limp broccoli, wilted greens to banana peels, all of which end up in the landfill rather than being composted. The Bamboozle composter is a great way to start reducing the amount of produce you waste

REVIEW – I have celiac disease, an autoimmune condition that requires I eat a gluten-free diet or suffer potentially life-threatening illness. Many celiac sufferers react to other foods, especially dairy, so I was intrigued at the opportunity to review FoodMarble, an easy-to-use handheld device that helps people identify foods to which their bodies respond badly.
REVIEW – As I continue to enjoy the opportunity to test and review headphones with similar features, I am still looking to find the perfect fit for my daily listening needs. As many of you would know from my reviews, I like to watch videos, listen to music, and attend webinars and Zoom meetings, etc.

 REVIEW – My normal bicycle ride routine is to employ a cutting-edge, high-tech case to protect my phone and wallet from both rain and sweat: the classic zip-loc bag. It usually lasts for two or three bike rides, and is then retired to contain nails in the garage, or small items going in the

REVIEW – I like to use YouTube to learn new songs on my ukulele, but it can be a pain to take my hands off my uke to rewind a video to see a certain section again. That’s where something like the Vidami Video Looper Pedal comes in so handy. It lets you control Youtube

REVIEW – Dark. It is something to be eradicated in a home. If you have a too-dark corner, a floor lamp that shines up as well as diffusing light all around can turn that dark corner into a design highlight. BoostArea has just such a solution with its 9-Watt LED floor lamp. Is it a

REVIEW – Digital cameras have revolutionized photography and replaced the mainstream practice of printing film photographs. Digital photographs are easy to store, sort, and review. I have a 10.1 inch Aura Carver WiFi cloud HD digital frame that makes displaying and sharing digital photos quick and easy. Read on to see what I think! What

REVIEW – Before COVID-19 and being at home all the time, I liked being able to grab something quick for breakfast that was healthier than a Poptart or a sugary cereal (FYI, a Poptart used to be my breakfast of choice back in the day). These days, a quick breakfast for me is usually a

Recently Logitech has released new variants to the MX Series, a Keys keyboard and Master 3 mouse specifically designed for Mac users. So, in this review not only will

REVIEW – Gaming has taken a hard turn into mobile of late. Used to be, you had to get a fancy PC rig or a console to have the speed and video rendering capabilities needed for action-filled, high-processor games. Now, many phones or tablets can play pretty heavy-duty titles. But what about the control aspect

REVIEW – Light. Light can just be ubiquitous – everywhere and unobtrusive, or, light can be used to highlight. BoostArea has released a torchiere style floor lamp. Torchiere is a fancy name for a floor lamp that produces light only in an upward direction. It comes from the flat-topped sticks that were used to hold

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed many portable Bluetooth speakers, from dirt cheap to quite expensive. What’s interesting is that a speaker that costs twice as much as another sometimes doesn’t sound twice as good. In fact, a cheaper speaker will often sound better than a more expensive one. When that happens, that speaker can become very

REVIEW – Having a light source handy is part of any good EDC kit. Because my daily needs are typically fairly light duty, I don’t opt for large, uber high-powered lights, but instead gravitate toward small, compact, powerful lights. The Olight Perun Mini is one such light. Let’s take a look. What is it? The

REVIEW – We are retired. That means that nearly all the meals we cook are just for my lovely wife and me. We live in central Florida, where anything that adds excessive heat in the house is a bad thing. That includes stoves. What if there was a small oven that was sized perfectly to

REVIEW – It’s amazing to me that new consoles have no included ability to pair Bluetooth headsets. The Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth Audio Transmitter could be the missing link you’ve been waiting for. What is it? The Creative BT-W3 is a USB-C Bluetooth audio transmitter that supports 4 different codecs — aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX,
