REVIEW – I’m a journal, notebook, stationery, and pen addict, so if someone offers me any of the above to review, it’s crazy hard for me to resist. When the kind folks at Galen Leather Co., offered me one of their A5 Leather Zip Folios AND some of their notebooks, the word no didn’t come […]

REVIEW – As a semi-competitive gamer, I’m always on the lookout for a good gaming mouse. Normally I’m not that excited about wireless gaming mice, because there’s always the risk that my battery dies in the middle of a game, leaving me stranded for 30 seconds or so while I fumble for a new pair

REVIEW – Thinkware has definitely upped it game recently. For years I’ve been saying they needed to go beyond HD video capture…and thankfully they’ve done just that. Earlier this year, Thinkware released the Q800 Pro that keeps the 800 series form factor but bumps the resolution from 1080p to 2K. That said, their most recent release

REVIEW – I live in New York City, and over the past few years, it seems like the number of cars on the roads has quadrupled and there is traffic congestion from early in the morning until late at night. Lately, I have been noticing large numbers of people wearing business attire and some in

REVIEW – All of you are undoubtedly familiar with Otterbox who’s been making protective device cases for years. PopSockets is also likely to be a familiar sight even if you haven’t heard the name before. It’s that circular disc that you’ve seen on the back of phones that pops out to help you hold on

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Ninja Cooking System, and thoroughly loved it. When the Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 Indoor Grill review offer came along I jumped at the chance to see if it was as good as the previous product. What is it?

REVIEW – With new technology comes new problems. The technology, in this case, is Virtual Reality and the problem is cables.

REVIEW – I have performed music since the age of three. Usually, I memorize lyrics and tunes, but lately, I have played more with a chart or fake book or just a lyric sheet. Being that these things are now totally electronic (i.e., on my iPad), reaching up to flip to the next page involves

REVIEW – When a gadget becomes popular we get offered a lot of those gadgets for review. After a while, it can become a little boring to review yet another one of those gadgets. Robot vacuums are in that category for me right now. Don’t get me wrong, I love using them in my home,

REVIEW – Some time ago, I got the opportunity to test and review the MouseTrapper Advance 2.0. It is a large Wellness mouse that is the size of a full-size keyboard.

CROWDFUNDED REVIEW – Electric bikes are on the rise. I see all types around the bay area too; kid carriers, commuters, big bike brands, custom assembled and more. It makes perfect sense in dense cities where having a car may not be practical. But what if you already have a decent bicycle? Surely there’s a
