My son Joey is now 10, and like many his age, loves Minecraft. I’ve seen other attempts at creating educational products with Minecraft, but nothing quite like the Piper Computer kit. A “build it yourself” computer that plays Minecraft? I decided to take a hands-off approach and let my son build it all by himself.

British audio company Rock Jaw’s Genus earphones impressed me not only with audio that sounded better than the price would indicate, but the Genus also offered a set of filters for the ultimate customization. However, as I’ve discovered with most earphones that come with filters—once you find one you like, that’s the one you stick

I’ll just come right out and say it. I’m a big fan of Bellroy’s wallets. I’ve tried their Slim Sleeve and their Elements Pocket wallets and have really liked both of them (I still have the Elements Pocket in my regular EDC rotation). When Julie gave me the opportunity to try out Bellroy’s latest wallet,

Bluetooth headphones: There are a ton of them out there, right? Why review another one? Because we’re The Gadgeteer, and that’s what we do. I’d been on the hunt for a good set of wireless headphones for a while, so I was excited about Julie’s offer to review one of the newer products in this

I love gadgets that can pretty much take care of themselves with little intervention from me. Some gadgets that come to mind that fit this criteria are smart locks like the Kwikset Kevo Smart Dead Bolt and the Nest Learning Thermostat. I’ve used a smart thermostat for several years, but just recently I got the opportunity

There are not many days that go by that I am not using some piece of Colonel Littleton gear to carry my tech/stuff with me. Day to day I use my Colonel Littleton No. 1943 Navigator Bag, when I travel I take my No. 2 Shave Kit, when I go away on an overnighter I use my No.1 Grip,

Ah, LEDs! The darlings of everyone from makers to artists to environmentalists. Low energy, low heat, long life, high output – what’s not to like? So it hasn’t surprised me that most of the battery-operated portable lights that have come across my desk in the last few years have used LEDs as a source. Most

As I have written here at the Gadgeteer before, Kenu designs products that are simple in design, easy-to-use, and products that just work. You won’t see many buttons, switches, or blinking lights on their products. If you’ll allow me to make a comparison, I think comparing Kenu products to Apple products may give you an

When listening to music or watching a movie on a device, I crave great sound and comfort out of my headphones. Since these two criteria are often quite subjective, it would seem that what works for one person, may not for another which seems to be the challenge of producing headphones that are within a

Hanging pictures, wallpaper, and leveling furniture is tough sometimes. For those who live in an older home, it’s even worse, because sometimes, there’s not really a level or plumb surface to reference and you have to furnish your own. For those jobs, a regular spirit level just doesn’t cut it. You need to use a

I have long been a fan of Kenu products because of their innovative designs, quality products, and great prices. In fact, I often give the Kenu Airframe product as gifts to friends and family.
