REVIEW – I have always enjoyed working out with weights and strength training. I used to go to a gym, but back in 2019, just before COVID, I got some equipment that would allow me to weight train at home. The strength training device I have is called a Tonal. It mounts on the wall, […]

REVIEW – Video content creators know that other than a camera, there are two other important things needed to produce quality content. One is good lighting, and the other is good sound. You can’t create a great video if the audio is not clear and crisp. While our cameras and smartphones may have good built-in
REVIEW – I’ll be honest. I have always made fun of people who use selfie sticks. It’s true. I mean, why not just hold the phone in your hand when taking a selfie, like respectable people do, right? So when I saw the Mapleparty tripod/selfie stick I was a bit hesitant. What if I like

REVIEW – I’m not sure how long this review of the TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay External Hard Disk Enclosure will be. Once set up and turned on, the D6-320 just kinda sits there doing its thing—and not much else. So, is there anything to say about a boring product such as this? I can say that
TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay external hard disk enclosure review – wonderfully boring Read More
REVIEW – I was always envious of other kids with battery powered cars when I was a kid, but as I grew up I found out that those 80’s era children’s cars tended to have battery lives in the 10’s of minutes and you were lucky if they could go faster than 2 miles an
REVIEW – It used to be that you had two choices for TV audio – the tiny speakers that are built into TVs or large home theater systems with many speakers that dominate the room. Then soundbars became popular and added a third option for folks that wanted much better sound than a TV can
Ultimea Apollo S50 Detachable Soundbar review – Better TV sound, with a few options! Read More
REVIEW – Much to my wife’s chagrin, I’ve recently gotten back into video games. Luckily for her, it’s now on the hand-me-down Nintendo my son gave me. Now I’m not hogging the TV. She can watch what she wants and I can happily spend way too many hours exploring Hyrule. Since the original Joycons are

REVIEW – I hate cleaning out my car, mainly because I have to drag our upright home vacuum cleaner out to the garage and wrestle it around the car to vacuum out the inside. It’s a pain, and if you have ever done that yourself, you know what I am talking about. Now, we do

REVIEW – Mason was looking for a projector that he could easily bring to friends’ houses for movies and video games — without having to worry about speakers or video converters. The YABER K2s projector fit the bill; plus, the Dolby Audio and internal JBL speakers were a big selling point. What is it? The

REVIEW – I am well into the process of upgrading my home office/studio to better handle my Podcast recordings, my photography and videography post-production and my time spent writing reviews. I have been searching for a keyboard that just feels right for me. I know that I would prefer an ergonomic keyboard, and I want

REVIEW – I have been blessed with thin bony feet that get cold very easily in the wintertime. Keeping them warm even in shoes is tough, but while I’ve tried hand warmers, I’ve never tried heated socks to keep them toasty. As it’s winter time and my feet are once again icicles, the inliCare heated

REVIEW – When it comes to tablets, I have a long track record. I have a 7-inch Samsung Android tablet that I have used for many years at bedtime to browse the day’s news and maybe check some email before I fall asleep. I also have a Microsoft Surface Pro 13” tablet that I use

REVIEW – The last few headphones that I have tested have been sub $100 and they all surprised me and made me believe that I no longer have to spend a ton of money to get decent-sounding headphones. Since I am now very intrigued, I jumped at the opportunity to test these TOZO HT2 Hybrid

REVIEW – Cars today are rolling computers now so if you want to figure out what your check engine light means you need an OBDII port scanner device. XTOOL asked me to review their new InPlus IP819 Smart Diagnostics Tool, so I jumped at the chance to see how my 13-year-old car is holding up.
REVIEW – A car wash at my local place is now $25 for the basic inside and outside scrub down. They do a good job, but can I afford $25 a trip? Nope. That’s why I’ve gotten quite good at cleaning my own car. The outside always looks great, but getting the carpets clean has
