REVIEW – Unlike many of my other female girlfriends, I do not carry much with me on a day-to-day basis. I refuse to carry a purse or bag. I have a horrible tendency to leave them behind. Daily, I only carry a small wallet and my car key fob. The one time I carry more […]

REVIEW – As someone who enjoys camping now and then, I still go out in a tent, pack up a cooler, and build myself a fire. Since I enjoy the semi-rugged aspect, I still sleep on a mattress on the ground. When I noticed the Elegear Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad, I was thrilled to see a

REVIEW – The KOSPET Tank T3 Ultra Smartwatch gets a lot right, but even as a new release has a few features that should be better. Are the shortcomings of the Tank T3 Ultra enough to tank it, or are they easy to overlook? It’s a beauty but let’s get under the hood and see
KOSPET Tank T3 Ultra Smartwatch review – If looks could deceive Read More
REVIEW – As much as I love my Toyota Tacoma, one thing that it’s lacking is a decent infotainment system. Most car manufacturers still seem to treat this vital part of a car’s configuration as an afterthought, and the older the car, the worse the experience. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have stepped up to
REVIEW – For some time, I have had this idea about my branding and creating unique designs that I would then display on media like cups and plaques, T-shirts, bags, etc. I recently reviewed the Akeydiy Heat Press and I think it will work for the cloth-type material products I want to design. However, I

REVIEW – If you prioritize clean drinking water and use a standard filter pitcher, check out my review of the Waterdrop C1S Countertop CoreRO System. What is it? The Waterdrop C1S Countertop CoreRO System is a user-friendly water filtration system with 5-stage RO filtration. What’s included? Waterdrop C1S Countertop CoreRO System dispenser Drip tray Filter
REVIEW – The WURKKOS TS10 V2.0 flashlight is a solid piece of hardware. It has some quirky features that use its miniature colored LEDs, but it shoots a 1400-lumen bright white beam and dials down to a moonlight dim for when a little light will do. It suffers from a couple of challenges. See if
WURKKOS TS10 V2.0 flashlight review – A well made flashlight with challenges Read More
REVIEW – Some people simply cannot be without their music. This is evident when you look around and see the masses wandering around with earbuds and even full-can-style headphones on. Back in the day, boomboxes were all the rage, assuming you could find a friend who would loan you 22 D-cell batteries for a few

REVIEW – My wife stating, “Honey, it’s cold in here,” combined with the review opportunity for TURBRO’s 12,000 BTU Wi-Fi enabled mini-split, ductless AC, and heat pump system, prompted a complete home theater makeover. How did it go? Read on, fellow Gadgeteers! What is it? The TURBRO GL12K115 is a ductless air conditioner and heater
REVIEW – When the opportunity to review the Targus ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse came up, I was intrigued. An ambidextrous mouse? I wanted to see for myself how they achieved the feat and if any sacrifices were made to get that functionality. My daily driver for years has been the Logitech Mx series, so perhaps a

REVIEW – As I continue to remodel and upgrade my home office/Studio to be a warm interesting and creative space, I have been introducing things like Steampunk shelves for an added industrial look, and I have been looking for unusual items to give me the feel I want. When this KEMIMOTO Midnight 40B 16” 2-Speaker

REVIEW – I’ve tried hundreds of multitools, but none suit my needs better than Leatherman. I’ve had one as my constant companion since 1984 when the original PST (Personal Survival Tool) replaced a gaggle of gear required for college classes. Initially introduced in 2005, the Leatherman Surge has received a few makeovers and is still

REVIEW – One of the most interesting aspects of writing reviews is seeing how products evolve. It’s not often that one gets to review the same product twice, but that’s the case here. Last year, I reviewed the Engwe L20 e-bike. The bike was OK, but there were some obvious misses. This year’s version does

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed enough mechanical keyboards to know what I like in the keyboard itself and what I like in the switches. Well, now I’m down another rabbit hole with trying different types of keycaps. Today, I have a set of keycaps from Cerakey. But they aren’t just regular plastic keycaps; they are ceramic

REVIEW – I want to start bike camping this summer and using my bike more for errands, so when Earth+Kin asked me to review their MULE all-terrain wagon, I couldn’t say yes quick enough. Let’s see what the Earth+Kin MULE has to offer. What is it? The Earth+Kin MULE is way more than just a

REVIEW – I just finished reviewing ZyberVR’s Quest 3 Sky Tower Charging Dock and their ACE Quest 3 Elite Strap, and the only thing missing from this combination of accessories for me for my Meta Quest 3 is an extended battery. Luckily ZyberVR also sent over their Neck Power Bank for review, which claims to

REVIEW – Spring is almost here and it’s time to get outside! I’m testing the Oladance OWS Sport headphones which claim to bring a combination of water resistance, ergonomic design, and optimized audio quality to keep you moving and sweating. How do they do? To the review! What is it? The Oladance OWS Sports are
REVIEW – Some of my friends think that I am going a bit overboard when it comes to security around my home, but I don’t think so. When I sit in my office/studio, I like to be able to see 360 degrees around my home and to be alerted when someone is near. I also

REVIEW – A little over a year ago, I got to review the Vosteed Labrador and I loved it. It was a pretty big knife but was thin enough to make it easily part of my EDC. Now Vosteed has released the Mini Labrador, making it even easier to stick in your pocket every day,

REVIEW – Sometime during the year 2020 after I recovered from COVID-19, I started an audio-only Podcast for the past few years I have upgraded and changed equipment as I pursue better sound, functionality, and versatility. Last year, I settled on the Mackie DLZ Creator Podcast Mixer and have been very pleased that it has
