REVIEW – Throughout my career as an art director, I’ve used many drawing tablets, displays, and even a few Apple iPads. In the display arena, for what seems like forever, Wacom was “it”—the only game in town. Then, competitors began showing up and recently have been giving Wacom some real competition. XPPen is one such […]

REVIEW – The Kapco team is always coming up with new designs for the keyboard nerds of the world. The latest in the lineup is their Greekeys line, and what I have here is the Medusa set. Being a kid of the 80’s, I was enthralled by The Clash of the Titans. Does anyone else
REVIEW – I’ve used small photo printers like the original HP Sprocket photo printer to add sticker photos to my analog journals for years. Now HP has a new photo printer on the market which uses rolls of paper instead of sheets. Today we check out the HP Sprocket Panorama photo printer. What is it?

REVIEW – Even though we returned to the office four days a week last year in March, 90% of my meetings are still via Microsoft Teams. Crazy, but true! Since then, I have searched for the perfect earbuds for my office. When I work from home, I use some really nice computer speakers since I

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed e-bikes of so many shapes and sizes now that I didn’t think another one would surprise me with new features. I was therefore mildly shook when I saw the description of the Freebeat MorphRover Ebike with an included at-home workout station, but I was worried that a package like this would

REVIEW – One of the biggest problems I often encounter as a maker/tinkerer is finding room on my workbench for the latest new tools. Case in point, my current laser engraver, the TwoTrees TS2, which I reviewed back in January 2023, is great, but it takes up pretty much all of my workspace whenever I
REVIEW – I’ve been enjoying printing photos from my Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer. Printing photos using this printer is effortless and fun. However, the maximum size photo I can print is 8×10 and I’d like to be able to print larger photos. I recently got the opportunity to review the
REVIEW – The cost of thermal imaging cameras is decreasing rapidly as the technology to produce them is refined and the supply is increasing. But more than being an example of macroeconomics these cameras are super useful, always gaining new features, and are now available as accessories for smartphones. I have an Xinfrared One XH09

REVIEW – Earlier this year, my wife and I bought a Tineco iFloor 3 cordless wet-dry vacuum from Costco to replace our Roborock Dyad that bit the dust after one short year. We really like the iFloor 3 and still use it. However, Tineco offered the Floor One S7 Steam Vacuum for review and

REVIEW – Earlier this year I got to review the original Vosteed Thunderbird in S35VN steel and loved it. The only real issue I had with a knife that nice was the pocket clip. Well now, our good friends at Vosteed have released a new version of the Thunderbird with different options for knife scales
REVIEW – A few weeks ago, my better half saw a spin scrubber online and asked if I ever got them for review. I said yes, and she said, next time, will you get one so I can try it for cleaning the bathtub. I said sure and now you’re reading my review of the

REVIEW – Over the last nine years, I’ve reviewed a lot of Master & Dynamic’s audio headphones, earphones, and even a concrete Bluetooth speaker! With each (almost yearly) iteration, M&D has made improvements in both sound and features. Some have been substantial, and some have been incremental. Their new MW09 earphones are more in the
REVIEW – I’m back with another keyboard review, which has an aesthetic some of you may recognize. My first experience with a mechanical keyboard was an IBM Type M. I found a stack of them to be thrown away years ago and snagged a couple as a goof. The keyboard was huge and weighed a
REVIEW – When we purchased our car a few years ago, I was immediately annoyed with the requirement to plug my phone in every time I wanted to use Android Auto. I’ve tried another “convert wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto to wireless” dongles in the past, but was plagued with disconnects and dropped connections so I
