REVIEW – Photography has entered another new age. With each move, from glass to tin to film to electronic sensors, changes arose in how images were captured. Now, we are in an era of Computational Photography, where large-scale computing within our tiny phones can put together data from those sensors and construct images of nature […]

REVIEW – I saw this review offer and thought that it would be the perfect item for diagnosing a couple of the problems that I know my truck has. What is it? The Innova CarScan Pro 5610 is a feature-rich OBD2 vehicle diagnostic tool. What’s in the box? CarScan Pro 5610 ODBC connection Cable App

REVIEW – Although in my day job as an engineer I’ve begun to convert over to digital note-taking out of practicality, I still do take quite a few handwritten notes, and if truth be told, I enjoy it—there’s something quite satisfying about writing with a good pen in a good notebook. Over the past several

REVIEW – In 2008 I had a unique and magical gadget called the Livescribe pen, which was my first foray into the world of digital handwriting. It was a huge, fat ink pen that used special paper and a camera built into the pen to capture what you were writing. It also had a microphone

REVIEW – I’ve been wanting to stream my game play for a while now, and while I had the opportunity to try out a solid microphone, I was using an old webcam for video. It was the one thing that was out of date with my setup. It was as if Logitech knew what I

REVIEW – For the most part, I think the optimal input device for an iPad is one’s fingers. Some people, however, have a need to enter a lot of text. While the built-in, virtual keyboard on an iPad is serviceable, having a real, physical keyboard makes typing so much easier. My wife teaches English online,

REVIEW – We recently moved into a new house, and it has a butler’s pantry instead of a traditional pantry. This means we have a lot of shelves, some of which are very deep, and my wife and I are trying to figure out how to organize everything. In particular, it’s a challenge to organize

REVIEW – There are two things in the computing and gadget world that I really like – great software and photography. The chance to review ACDSee’s Photo Studio Ultimate 2020 came along, and I jumped at the opportunity to check out something that combines both of these. What is it?

REVIEW – With many of the popular laptops missing key ports, USB-C hubs are my go-to accessory to rectify the situation. I was given the opportunity to review the Aukey Link PD Pro USB-C Hub (also referred to as Unity Link PD III 8-in-1 USB-C Hub with 100W PD on the Aukey website). It has

REVIEW – The staple of many commuters and office dwellers is a sturdy, dependable bag… preferably one that can take a few hits and look darn good doing it. Enter the Filson Dryden Briefcase which was sent to us from Bespoke Post. What is it? The Filson Dryden is a rugged, water-repellant briefcase featuring a

REVIEW – I go to the gym 4 to 5 days a week. I don’t carry a lot with me and have been using a small drawstring backpack for the last couple of years. As you can imagine, it’s seen better days, and I’ve been looking to replace it. But I didn’t want an oversized

REVIEW – To make many laptops lighter and slimmer, manufacturers removed ports even though many consumers were clearly against it. But here we are. *Sigh* USB-C hubs are now a necessary accessory (and thus, a necessary additional expense) for many of today’s laptops. I was given the opportunity to review the Anker PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB-C

REVIEW – Our family struggles to keep our floors clean. With children and dogs in and out of the house, there is just always dirt, dust and dog hair to be cleaned. While vacuuming, especially the common areas, was already a common chore, we recently adopted our newest addition, a Siberian Husky. A little something to

REVIEW – I’ve been working out multiple times per week for years. I work out in the privacy of my own home with the equipment that I have on hand, which includes a Total Gym, a set of resistance bands, and some hand weights. A couple of years ago I signed up for Planet Fitness

REVIEW – With all the creative graphics apps and devices at our disposal today, there is still something to be said for creating a card or letter by hand. It takes time, but also shows that the creator cares about the result in a way that a quick ecard or email message doesn’t. I was

REVIEW – Wireless earbuds are clearly here to stay but not all are created equal or even a one-fits-everyone affair. True wireless earbuds without connecting wires push those statements even further as losing one can wreck your day and dent your wallet. Many companies have added ear hooks to their true wireless solutions to help

REVIEW – What are some of the features that you think makes a good home security camera? It has to detect motion and send an alert, it needs a clear image in during the day and night time, and no subscription fees. What if I add in AI person and face detection, and the ability
