REVIEW – Rain happens, and sometimes you gotta deal with it. Am I scared? Heck, no… I’m rocking the Stash Messenger bag from Timbuk2’s lineup of next-generation bags. My car got wet. I got wet. My bag got wet. But my gear is bone dry. To the review! What is it? It’s a highly water-resistant […]

REVIEW – Good headphones used to cost a pretty penny, and you’ll have no problem finding many that do. Adding active Noise Cancellation (ANC) just raises that price even more. That’s no longer the case. There are many good headphones available, with and without ANC and at all price points. The new challenge is finding

REVIEW – If you are a keyboardist, one of the toughest things to do is to properly illuminate your keyboard and sheet music without over-lighting your performance location.

REVIEW – BEHOLD MY JOURNAL OF SORCERY!! OK, it may not be real magic… but my SohoSpark Journal is still pretty cool. It’s a refillable journal for cataloging all of my thoughts and dreams. And the dragon on the cover added just the right style to a Dungeons & Dragons session I participated in recently.

REVIEW – The quality and quantity of my camping gear has been steadily on the rise over the last few years. My “essential” list of gear for a camping trip now fills two large bins and a duffel bag. This is fine though because the majority of camping I do falls squarely into the Car

REVIEW – Traction. What comes to mind when you hear that word? For many of us, we think of snow, rain, or gravel, when our vehicle tires lose adhesion send us into spins. But traction has another meaning. Per Merriam-Webster, traction is also a pulling force exerted on a skeletal structure (as in a fracture)

REVIEW – It’s winter here in Indiana, but that’s not going to stop me from testing out a drone that can land and take off from what? Wait, what?! It’s time to check out the SwellPro Spry+ 4K drone. What is it? The SwellPro Spry+ is a bright orange waterproof drone that can record in
