Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I really like portable chargers that have built-in cables so that I can eliminate having to carry additional charging cables with me when I’m away from home. I have Android devices (that use only micro-USB charging cables) and iOS devices that may need a charge when traveling, so the OLALA 7800mAh Power Bank with its […]

As with many of us Gadgeteers, most especially our fearless Gadgeteer-in-Chief, Julie, I like writing implements of all kinds, but I really like pens. Something about a well designed and built pen elevates the experience of handwriting, which feels increasingly like a lost art, to a higher plane of enjoyment. That said, I’ve been a

You’ve all probably used a powerstrip at some point in your life. Heck, you’re probably using one right now at home or work. I have one under my desk at work, but at home, I have been using the BESTEK 8-Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector for the last few weeks. Let’s take a look.

I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a leather wallet guy these days. I typically find them to be a bit on the thicker and bulkier side, and I’ve become more of a minimalist wallet EDCer. But something about this JooJoobs American Flag Wallet drew me in. America may not be perfect, but I love

When I bought my Apple Watch, I knew I wanted the rose gold watch with the navy blue sport band due to the color combination. Not only that, I planned to use it when running and playing tennis, so I needed something ‘sporty’ and easy to clean. I’ve realized now that the nylon band looks

When I was growing up and helping my dad with building projects, he would always remind me, “Measure twice, and cut once.” There were many times my reply was “Dad, I cut this board twice and it’s STILL too short!” I’m sure he would have heard that less often if I had a MyAntenna Laser

If you have visited my favorite gear page since January of this year, you may have noticed that my favorite EDC pen has been the Ti Arto pen from Big Idea Design. I love that pen, but now I have a new love that has replaced it as my favorite EDC pen. It’s the Ti

I love my iPhone, but the one thing that it has been lacking in is wireless charging. You can get a case with a battery inside that will wirelessly charge, but it adds bulk, and I enjoy the small form factor of the iPhone. I noticed Bezalel had a case solely for wireless charging called

I’ve always enjoyed building sets like models and construction sets from LEGO, Erector, and more.

One of the first things most of us do after we purchase a new phone or tablet is to shop for a case to protect or add to the look of that shiny new device. There are literally thousands of choices which can make this quite an arduous task. When I purchased my 10.5” iPad

Why not get a head start on purchasing your Christmas stocking stuffers like this UNO Emoji card game? I’ve loved UNO since I was a kid and my kids love the game too. And since emojis are ever so popular today, this is a clever update to the game. As of this writing, the game
First off let me proudly say that my college days of throwing obnoxiously loud house parties where the sheer volume of the party may or may not have attracted the presence law enforcement are far behind me. Because of this, I no longer need the biggest, loudest most industrial looking speakers that appear that they were taken out

Ever since the first days of the Palm Pilot PDA, I’ve wanted a small handheld device that would function as my phone, my camera, and my desktop computer. One device to rule them all! Companies like Motorola with their Atrix phone flirted with this concept six years ago, and I’ve even tried turning an Android

A few months ago we finally ditched our analog phone line. Yes, I know that I’m way behind the curve, but I was required to keep a landline phone line due to my hardwired T1 broadband which I also disconnected. That means that we are now relying on our Verizon phones for contact with the
