REVIEW – If you’re still sporting a chunky bi-fold style wallet, it’s time to consider upgrading to something slimmer and way more stylish. One option worth checking out is the Aviator Slide wallet from Germany. It’s a minimalist wallet with maximum features. What is it? The Aviator Slide is a minimalist wallet that can hold […]

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – For many years, I have been a watch collector, with mechanical automatic watches being my preference and dominating my collection with the exception of my smartwatches. Earlier this year, CIGA Design sent me their Z-Series Mechanical Titanium Watch and I loved it, so I am so happy that they have now followed

REVIEW – Many years ago, I was an Android-only user for all of my cell phones. I resisted IOS and anything Apple for years except for the iPod music players of which I probably had every model. A few years ago, just on a whim, I decided to try what was probably the iPad V2,

REVIEW – Portable charging power banks feel like a dime a dozen with very little in the form of variety. But once in a while, an interesting feature pops up, like AUKEY’s Basix Pro Wireless Charging Power Bank. What is it? The AUKEY PB-WL02 Basix Pro is a combination wired/wireless 10000mAh power bank with a

REVIEW – I’ve always found it essential to keep a case on my devices – phones, tablets, iPods, etc. My hands are just too dry to keep a good grip on smooth devices made of metal and glass so having a good case is important. Enter Otterbox with the Symmetry Series 360. What is it?

REVIEW – I’ve been following ClearOne, Inc. and its predecessor companies for over 20 years (back when they supplied both Oprah! and The White House with switchboard / call management hardware and software), so when I was offered the chance to review one of their Unite 20 web / conference cameras, I jumped at the

REVIEW – I think I may have found my favorite earbuds. The Soundpeats Trueshift2 TWS Earbuds are designed with sports and activities in mind, but they don’t sacrifice sound quality for durability and fit when you get sweaty. There are a lot of neat little extras in the package that round it out nicely as

REVIEW – With COVID-19 still running rampant across the country, I still find myself reluctant to head out to my local gym. When I used to go into the office every day, I made a point to park the car as far away as possible and walk extra steps into work. Now that I am

REVIEW – How often do you back up all the photos, videos, contacts, and files on your iPhone or iPad? I know that I personally do not do it frequent enough and I would be devastated to lose all the precious memories and information that I store on them. For me, it is just a

REVIEW – With the rise in popularity of attachable phone grips, like the PopSocket, it’s nice to have alternatives like the CLCKR Stand & Grip Case. How does it compare? What is it? The CLCKR Stand & Grip Case is an iPhone case with a unique, pop-out grip integrated into the back that snaps and

REVIEW – As my gift to humanity, I vow to write this review without once making a pun about how the MECO High-Pressure Air Duster Blower “blows”. Like many computer-loving-geeks, I’ve long used the ubiquitous white cans of compressed air to blast dust out of my computers and laptops (and exacerbating my own allergies in

REVIEW – If you’ve been a long-time MacBook user then you’re familiar with the way Apple makes port changes to their line. It’s a no-looking-back approach that can be refreshing and frustrating at the same time. The switch to USB-C was one that visually cleaned up the sides of their laptops leaving only the headphone

REVIEW – I live in the south, and it gets pretty hot here during the summer. I’ve got a rickety old fan to help keep me cool while working in my garage or on the porch, but I’d really like a fan that is more powerful, more rugged, and more flexible. I think the Power

REVIEW – For the past few months, I have been working from home as a part of the “new normal” in response to the Coronavirus. This mode of work has allowed me some extra time to work on things on my to-do list. For a long time, I have wanted to start my own Podcast,

REVIEW – While most of us have started carrying some sort of battery in our travels, there’s still the issue of cables for our devices. But many new devices can be charged by Qi now, so is the next logical step wireless charging on the go? The Eggtronic Power Bar is prepared for this today!

REVIEW – Whenever I am working on something like writing reviews, editing pictures to remove small blemishes, etc, I am always looking for the most efficient way. Also, while I am not an artist, drawing design concepts for my ideas for 3D prints could really use a better option than pen on paper and then

REVIEW – During these times of COVID-19, we’ve had to learn new ways to communicate and collaborate despite being more isolated than we would like. One key component for remote communication is a good microphone, one that can clearly capture your voice. For the past few weeks, I have been using TONOR’s new TC-777 microphone

REVIEW – Of course, we’ve all heard of COVID-19 by now. To be clear, the “19” on the end is not supposed to be the number of pounds we each have gained by sitting in quarantine, eating Cheetos and Oreos. If that has happened to you, you need a tool to track that tonnage and
