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

REVIEW – With all the gear Gadgeteers carry around, where do we carry it all? Some opt for bags, some for slings or belt clip-ons. And some of us just use pockets. (Sorry ladies, I know this is a sore point, but I’m not a clothing designer. I’m just reporting the news.) One of the

REVIEW – I’ve owned and tried many different “truly wireless” earbuds over the past few years, but haven’t tried one yet that also included a speaker in the charging case. Will these earbuds be another forgettable model aside from the extra speaker, or will they stand out from the crowded herd of options in this

REVIEW – I dislike wearing rings. All the ones I’ve seen for men are just boring. Manly Bands has a wide selection of interesting rings, and can even make something custom, all with a sense of humor. What is it? Manly Bands has rings for guys in many not-boring designs made from titanium, tungsten, wood,
Review – We recently moved into a new, single-story house. When I first installed our washing machine in the laundry room, I failed to tighten the water drain hose on the back of the washer. Thankfully I was keeping an eye on it during our first load and quickly realized my mistake before too much
