Since starting with the Gadgeteer, I’ve been able to amass a good collection of portable power banks in all shapes and sizes.

Whenever I proclaim my love for wireless charging, there are people who make fun of me asking if I am too weak or lazy to plug in a USB cable like the rest of the world. I know that using a cable isn’t difficult or a huge hardship, but once you start using wireless chargers

Over the years, I’ve accumulated mountains of DVDs, especially since the arrival of the grandchildren. It gets old having to load up the DVD player with a copy of Cars or the like, every time they come over when it rains. I tried teaching them how to load the DVD player and it almost worked, except that

iPads and iPhones, I love them all! The only issue I have with them is the lack of external storage options for the “i” devices. I like a lot of other budget minded consumers opted for the bare bones 16 Gig model iPhone 6, so storage space on my phone is at a premium, and

The trade offs with those solutions though are the inconvenience of portability as well as having

As a collector of all things gadget, I often find myself in need of a great backpack to help organize my devices while on the go.

Last week I posted a review of the Karas Kustoms RETRAKT pen. I really liked the pen but wished it had a better clicky mechanism. The RETRAKT isn’t the only pen made by Karas Kustoms though. They were kind enough to send me the Bolt pen to try. Is this one clicky enough for me?

I’m back with five more reviews that I’ve updated with new info. One review is a printer that I reviewed back in 2009 and have been using all this time – at least for a little while longer. I also have an update for my 2008 review of the LED Lenser P7 LED flashlight. Click
Quite a few fitness trackers have built in sleep tracking. The idea is that people want to know how well they are sleeping each night. I know that I bought into that thinking myself and have reviewed several sleep tracking gadgets over the years. But do these gadgets really help you improve your sleep? I

The Gatekeeper carabiner is currently a Kickstarter campaign aiming to raise $25,000 in funding. And while it does not require a battery, plug, cord, etc…it definitely qualifies as an interestingly designed gadget. It is a finely machined accessory engineered to securely clip your keys, tiny flashlight, micro tool, etc to your belt-loop or gear bag.

It is difficult to believe I reviewed the Surfire T1A Titan compact flashlight more than 6 years ago…crazy how fast time flies. To this day, I use the T1A often to light my way.

I’m always on the lookout for a great Bluetooth speaker.

A little over 6 months ago I reviewed the AVANTEK 20,000 mAh dual-USB port battery pack. It got high marks for having 2 USB ports, huge capacity, pocketable size, and it also came with a power brick in addition to the USB cable. And for the price of under $50, it was a steal. It
