REVIEW – Wisconsin winters are notoriously cold with wind chills below zero and enough snow to bury a polar bear. With the lack of moisture in the air, your skin becomes dry and chapped. One of the best ways to help alleviate dry cracked skin in the winter is to increase the humidity. Levoit classic […]

REVIEW – After reviewing several earbuds over the past couple of years, I now tend to look for something different and/or intriguing about a pair of earbuds before I show interest in reviewing them. After quite a long delay, I finally got my hands on the Apple Airpods, and these days I am on the

REVIEW – The Zendure X5 is not just another portable battery pack. There are hundreds of external battery charger options available so finding one that’s worth your money can be a challenge. I’m always looking for extra features beyond the basic charging capabilities that every other battery pack offers. On this front, the Zendure delivers,

REVIEW – iPads are great devices, and the Apple Pencil really adds functionality for many, but carrying both items around can be tough. STM (Smarter Than Most), the venerable bag and case maker, has come up with a new option to address both issues: the STM DUX series. This is a mil-spec one piece case

REVIEW – We have been homeowners for long enough to have paid off two different houses. This means we have spent way too much time under the house doing some type of home-ownerly task that usually involves wearing knee pads and headlamps. Whether it’s checking out what the plumber said they did, re-routing the dryer

REVIEW – Back when your computer came with a horrible native sound system, the name to beat for a replacement sound cards was the SoundBlaster series by Creative Labs. If you played any games or watched movies (as best you could) on your computer in the late 80’s, odds are you had the SoundBlaster 1.0.

REVIEW – Over the past couple of years, I have been able to test and review a few types of devices that claim to enhance sleep quality, relaxation quality, etc, With the exception of one sleep device that I use, the rest, in my opinion, have been complete and utter failures and yet carry pretty

REVIEW – If you’re the owner of a smartphone, Apple Watch and wireless headphones, you’ve probably got a jumble of charging cables or wireless pads on your nightstand or desktop. I’ve tried a mix of cables and wireless pads but it still becomes a bit of a mess. Now the Logitech Powered 3-in-1 Charging Dock

REVIEW – We recently did a complete remodel of the upper level of our house, but even though it’s been done for several months, we have yet to hang any artwork back on the walls. Why? We’re mainly afraid that we’ll make a mistake getting multiple framed art pieces to line up. That’s where a
REVIEW – I have a home-built PC on which I do my gaming. Most of my competitive games are multiplayer games that I play online, and my audio is through a headset. Some of my casual games, however, are single-player, and for them I prefer to run my audio through speakers. Unfortunately, I never bought

REVIEW – I have reviewed several air filters over the past few months. I have come to find that a big part of getting the right air filter is getting one correctly sized for the room you are filtering. It also matters as to what types of things you are trying to filter out of

REVIEW – Steam. The universal cleaner. Steam cleans everything. It disinfects, sanitizes, and has a way to get out stains that other cleaning products simply can’t.

What is it? The Matrix Industries PowerWatch

 REVIEW – Some items are very much personal choices: phone cases, shoulder bags, etc. The fit/feel/function just has to line up on all counts for something to fit one’s routine. I have family members who are hard on their phones, and opt for thickness, cushion, and protection in their phone case selection. Other colleagues

REVIEW – I’ve always liked larger, take-up-the-whole-wrist watches, but the few I own have gone unworn since getting my Apple watch. I recently passed my Dad’s Shinola Argonite to my son who has this unexplained connection and appreciation to all things analog. It felt good to give him something that his Grandfather wore daily.

REVIEW – Watches. There are two schools of thought on watches. You either love them or you have no use for them. I am in the latter school – I love watches. It’s actually a little bit of an illness. I have more than 25 watches. When the opportunity to review the Zinvo Blade Acid

REVIEW – When I was younger I had a projector instead of a TV. I loved the larger picture, but as a heavily used living room TV it was far from ideal: any light in the room detracts from the picture, the constant fan noise was annoying, and the unit broke after less than a
