REVIEW – Tech heads and digital phototgraphers are gonna REALLY love this one. Sandmarc has a specialty niche in the iPhone photography and accessory market, and the Hybrid Sling Bag is their small-carry solution for organizing all of the photography-related things. It’s also pretty great as a general digital gear and travel bag. I spent […]
REVIEW – Do you have to use dental floss? Maybe you have really crowded teeth and have problems getting the floss between your teeth. Maybe you’re lazy and think that brushing is enough. First of all, brushing alone is great, but not flossing shouldn’t be an option. Leaving food between your teeth that the brush
REVIEW – Most hearing folks, at some time or other, want to listen to content privately, whether it’s due to the personal nature of the audio, or to avoid irritating others. Earbuds and headphones tend to filter out the rest of the world, some even creating anti-noise to cancel out unwanted sounds. But what if

REVIEW – Several years ago when I purchased a home, my wife began to explore her green thumb in the garden. Since then her gardening has been widely successful encompassing both flowers and food. She is very much into ensuring that our family eats healthy and has spent much time pursuing organic compost. Every day,

REVIEW – I’m typically a folding pocket knife kind of guy. It’s not that I don’t like fixed blades. I love them too, but I never found one I could conveniently carry all the time. Most of the time the fixed blades are too big or the sheath is bulky and uncomfortable. But, I watch
REVIEW—Home theater surround sound has been around since 1992, but I’ve been reluctant to put it in my living room. It’s not that I didn’t want it, but I didn’t want to route the speaker wires through the floor or attic. Ultimea solves that problem with a wirelessly connected subwoofer and surround speakers with its
REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few lasers, but never one from WeCreat. When the review offer came along, I thought it would be a good time to review a laser that was a bit different than the ones I previously reviewed. The WeCreat Vista had a few unique features, so I was all about

REVIEW – These days, my wife and I produce a large number of RAW video files as we work on various social media platforms. Much of the content is reusable and we need to store the files for many years and be able to access and search the data readily and easily. This requires a

REVIEW – The mini PC is an interesting product, manufacturers have basically taken laptop components and crammed them into a small box. While these have been around for a while, early versions had pretty limited performance compared to comparable desktop PCs. Recently though, the gap between desktop and laptop CPUs in particular has gotten smaller

REVIEW – I have reviewed a few Vosteed knives with the latest being the Vosteed Hedgehog which is a stout little knife and the Vosteed Parallel which is a more discrete and gentlemanly knife. The Vosteed Marten bridges the gap between the two nicely. What is it? The Vosteed Marten is the latest knife from

REVIEW – When reviewing portable Bluetooth speakers, it’s hard not to develop a favored brand. One of my favorites is Tribit. I was immediately blown away by the first Tribit speaker I reviewed—the StormBox Micro followed by the improved StormBox Micro 2. These small speakers sound waaay bigger than they are. I still use one

REVIEW – When the QFUN Laminator Machine came up for review I mentioned it to my wife who taught kindergarten for 32 years. Kate has laminated miles of educational items over her career. She was interested, and agreed to be the primary product tester for this review. To cut to the chase – she was

REVIEW – Our house has two living rooms, and we recently redid our “back” living room. Since that’s where the wood stove is, and a big new couch, we’ve been spending more time there. Our front living room has a TV with soundbar, but the back living room just has a TV with built-in TV
REVIEW – For the past few years I have been using mini PCs for all my computer needs. I work from home in my home office/studio and record my podcast episodes and other social media content. I have 5 mini-PCs that I use for different functions. Over the years the specs and capabilities of mini

REVIEW – A good set of earbuds is an indispensable part of my every day carry. I really don’t like broadcasting whatever is playing on my phone to the world, so it’s very handy to have a solid set of earbuds nearby. The SoundPEATS Air5 earbuds came up for review and I’m always up to

REVIEW – Being empty nesters has greatly reduced the size of our meals. Firing up our big conventional oven seems like a waste of electricity, which of course means money. Since using the Midea Flexify French Door Air Fryer Oven for the last month or so, we have not used our big oven one time.
