REVIEW – Big screen TVs are great and all that, but what if you want to go really big? You can snag Samsung’s 8K 98″ QLED for a cool $60-grand. Of course, for that price, you could also grab a nicely equipped Chevy Suburban or nearly cover a loaded Tesla Model 3. Plus, if you’re

REVIEW – If you don’t already have a robot vacuum in your home, what the heck are you waiting for? Seriously, robot vacuums in my house have saved me countless hours over the course of the last few years. I very rarely use a manual vacuum to clean my floors because I don’t have to.

REVIEW – When I first heard about the BenQ InstaShow Wireless Presentation System, I immediately recognized its ability to mirror presentations from a laptop or such device wirelessly onto a large screen.

REVIEW – Remember when you used to be able to buy extended batteries for your mobile phone? You could remove the battery cover and the small stock battery and pop in one double the size in exchange for a new bulge on the back. You may also fondly remember the docks that came with palm

REVIEW – I’ve been eagerly awaiting Mobvoi’s next version of the TicPods earbuds since reviewing their original TicPods Free earbuds back in 2018.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – For at least three decades, I have been a big fan of mechanical automatic watches, and have made a great effort to stay away from battery operated watches. I probably own a few more than a dozen automatic watches, and for the most part, I have had a good experience with them.
