Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – As a gadget nerd, my gadget obsession is very apparent when you look at any of my workstations. I usually have as many devices as possible connected for my work process, some that make my process more effective and efficient, and some just because they are cool. There are also others that only […]

REVIEW – Do you love EDC flashlights but hate feeding them batteries? If so, then I have a flashlight you’ll want to check out. It’s the NITECORE TUP and it packs some nice features into a very pocket-friendly package. Let’s check it out. What is it? The NITECORE TUP is a 1000 lumen USB rechargeable

REVIEW – I drink coffee every morning on the way to work and while I’m at work. Given this, it’s important to me that a thermal bottle do two things well: maintain temperature and not leak. The Purist Mover, 18-ounce bottle does both of these things well quite well. What is it? The Mover is

REVIEW — Everyone’s seen those nylon drawstring bags that look like a modern replacement for a hobo’s bindlestiff. Usually they’re just cheap, single-compartment sacks used to tote a change of clothes, but Rever Brand offers an evolution on that design with their SERK Drawstring Backpack. Read on to see how it stacks up. What is

REVIEW – Buying a new laptop is a big deal for me, as it is for most people. I spend months doing research, reading reviews, and trying out laptops in stores. Once I finally settle on my choice, it’s a good bet that I’ve spent a lot of time AND money on that pick, so

REVIEW – In today’s world of our nonstop keyboard clicking, the written note is definitely the anomaly versus the standard anymore. Even our signatures are digital these days, involving a smart-chip, fingerprint, special code, etc. But the ballpoint pen endures…I would guess most of those reading this review have a nice writing instrument in their

REVIEW – How many times have you needed extra light, either when working on a close project in a dark area, or, when walking or running in dim conditions? And, how many of those times did you not have an extra hand to hold the light, or, simply didn’t want to carry one with you?

REVIEW – The struggle to keep your phone battery is real, and while there are many portable power options out there, there are quite a few with wireless charging as an option. One of the more unique entries into this niche is Bezalel’s sleek Prelude wireless charger, a portable battery pack that sports a sticky

REVIEW – Clean air is really important for good health and something we don’t often consider enough. In the bay area, the recent wildfires have kept it top of mind, but we also have frequent “spare the air” days that restrict wood burning for air quality reasons. I have mild seasonal allergies, while my daughter

REVIEW – My wife worked for a home cleaning company for a while. When it came time to buy a new vacuum cleaner for our house, she knew from experience exactly which model to buy, one that was both powerful and long-lasting. Not every job around the house, however, is a good match for a

REVIEW – Espresso coffee is a rich full-bodied drink made by forcing water over coffee grinds under high pressure. Preparing the coffee usually requires a large and expensive machine to build sufficient pressure. In contrast, the Nanopresso by Wacaco is small and relatively inexpensive espresso machine but provides up to 18 bar of pressure. Read

REVIEW – I am always looking for any gadget/device that can offer me a way to maintain good overall health along with the ability to monitor my progress especially as I get older and as keeping in shape gets harder. The RolliBot Rollifit Bluetooth body composition smart scale could be a great addition to my

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Pens with multiple ink colors are handy but they can be bulky. The 22pen from Mario Shimodaira is different. It’s a Kickstarter project for a pen that is small and thin enough to become part of your EDC and everyone who sees it will ask where you got it. What is it?

REVIEW – Peace of mind. What does that mean? It’s when you don’t have any worries, fears, or stresses. Having total peace of mind is almost impossible unless you’re a Shaolin monk, but you can work towards that goal by finding ways to remove worries, fears, and stresses. One way to do that might be

REVIEW – You come here each day to read our new reviews, but do you ever wonder what happens long (and sometimes not so long) after we post these reviews? Does the product break or do we continue to use and enjoy it long after the original review has been posted? We want you to
REVIEW – I have lost count of how many camera harnesses I have tried and/or purchased while in search of one that is really comfortable and that can be worn for extended periods of time when on a long photo shoot. While it seems somewhat enclosed and possibly restrictive, the Cotton Carrier CCS G3 Grey

REVIEW – As most active outdoor enthusiasts know, many of our personal lighting solutions still rely on replaceable or swappable batteries. These battery-hungry lights always seem to run out of power at the most inopportune times. The Thyrm CellVault and CellVault XL offer a solution to carrying and keeping your batteries dry. After having my

REVIEW – I love seeing how my favorite companies evolve over time. For example, Keyport started out making unique key organizers but now their product line has turned modular to include a system of EDC pocket tools. Let’s take a closer look at Keyport’s Anywhere Tools. What is it? Keyport Anywhere Tools is an EDC

REVIEW – I have never really been into gaming gadgets and quite frankly, the only games I play are usually card type games on my smartphone while I pass the time traveling on the railroad back and forth to work. When I got the opportunity to review a pair of the GJS GEIO gaming robots,
