We live pretty far off the beaten path and get our water from a well. For some of you this may seem perfectly normal but in the greater Seattle area it’s definitely not the standard. Our water is pretty hard and even with a home treatment system, we drink bottled water that we refill as needed. Our

If you’ve been looking for a dash cam, be sure to check out the Swann Navigator HD Dash Camera – 1080p Portable Vehicle Recorder with GPS Tracking. It’s got a ton of features and it’s easy to install and easy to use. And it may be the best deal on collision insurance available.

Even after all these years, I’m still a novice when it comes to video editing. I know just enough to be able to create small videos when I need them for the reviews I write, but my skills are limited to joining and trimming multiple clips, inserting basic transitions and adding very simple titles. I’m

Nietzsche said, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” This is especially true in strength training. As we exercise against a resistance, muscle tissue is damaged; when the muscle tissue is repaired it becomes thicker at a cellular level. Muscle damage also causes muscle cell generation, which adds new muscle tissue and strength. These

Last week I posted part 2 of my LG G5 review and was bummed that I wasn’t able to include info about the Cam Plus module because I hadn’t received the sample in time. As luck would have it, the same day that I posted the review, the Cam Plus module showed up. I spent
The SJCAM X1000 is another affordable action camera, or POV camera, that is biting on the heels of more popular and expensive action cameras. With the x1000’s features and picture quality, this is a camera that could be an inexpensive alternative to higher-priced cameras such as the ever-popular GoPro.

It’s no secret that I go on trips a lot. From IP cameras to watch my cats, to backpacks for the plane, I love to use items that make life easier when I am away. When I was given a chance to review The Briefcase by Pad and Quill, I thought it might make a

Phiaton is one of those audio companies that constantly and consistently releases new models of interesting earphones and headphones. Just when you’ve gotten used to one headphone, it’s been discontinued and another has taken its place. Their headphones and earphones are also some of the prettiest designs available, although the earphone’s beauty is mostly hidden

In my recording/audio booth, I’m constantly finding ways to make things a little more efficient in such a tiny, 5×5 foot space. I like to keep my hands free when recording, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to try out the Kinesis Savant Elite2 Dual Pedal.

When the opportunity to review the iBobber from ReelSonar was presented, I took the bait. I was excited to try a fishing bobber made for the 21st century that was also a fish finder, a waterbed mapper, GPS tagger & trip logger, and weather station. We already had a fishing trip planned so it was

I love leather. Whenever I am strolling and shopping as a tourist, I always stop in leather shops. So when I had the chance to spend some time with a Burkley Leather case for my brand new iPad Pro 9.7, I quickly volunteered. A week later, I “woke up” and discovered I really wanted only a one night stand

I’ve been using the LG G5 for almost a month now and posted my first impressions two weeks ago. As far as looks and feel, I still don’t think that the G5 lives up to the same standard as LG’s previous flagship smartphones like the LG G4 and the LG V10. For a high-end phone

Dash cams are the type of gadget that once you setup, you hope you never need to use it. That’s because they are typically only used after you’ve had an accident or witnessed some other unusual event while driving. I like having a dash cam in my MINI Cooper because I never know when bigfoot

I’m a big fan of LED technology. I have replaced many of the bulbs in my home with them, as well as all my flashlights. One place I’ve not upgraded to the brighter, more energy-efficient tech has been in the outdoor lights around my home. When we were offered the chance to test the Lifestance

If I’ve said once, I’ve said it a hundred times: One of the first rules in audio is to put the sound where the people are. The same goes for microphone placement. Sometimes, the microphone built in to your smartphone just won’t cut it. The iRig Mic Lav microphone kit allows daisy-chaining two lavaliere microphones

This week it is my turn to post some quick updates to some of my past reviews. I have realized that I don’t continue to use that many items after I review them. So can be tough for me to come up with a handful of reviews to update. I don’t know if that means

Most, if not all states, have laws specifying cell phones must be used hands-free while driving. Most people want to obey they law, but considering how integrated our phones have become in our daily commute, many people struggle with this law. Until car manufacturers begin making vehicles with built-in phone mounts, we are forced to

Every adventure has its mundane aspects. Packing and getting there qualifies as mundane, if not downright unpleasant. It becomes even more of a challenge when strict weight and size limits are imposed as on my recent trip to the Rio Parismina Lodge in the jungles of Costa Rica, for a week of tarpon fishing.
