Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I love my smartphone, but when it comes to to-do lists, bullet journals, diaries and other note taking, I prefer a good old fashioned paper notebook. Putting a pen to paper and watching a notebook become worn as it fills with info, ideas and memories makes me smile. I’m kind of a notebook addict and […]

What can I say about desk lamps? Up until recently I did not give them much thought, but as I get a little older I find that having a desk lamp is a nice addition to my writing needs. When it comes to desk lights the old stand by screw in light bulb kind are

Wait a minute.. is this a car review? Why yes it is. I was lucky enough to be able to test drive one of five GM vehicles, spread across their various brands. I chose the Cadillac CTS-V since I have driven cars all of my life. This was a step up in size from my

When you think of 26,800 mAh battery, do you think “Do I really need that much battery”? However, what if the power goes out for days? This is an unusual scenario, but it happens. You may also want to have a large portable battery when you’re camping or when you travel for business for a few

Turning pages and scrolling through documents on your computer or tablet isn’t easy when your hands are otherwise occupied. For example, a guitarist who reads sheet music can’t easily turn the page without stopping their playing. A way around this problem is to use a hands-free Bluetooth page turning device like the IK Multimedia iRig

Do you have one of those dogs that seems to be able to Houdini its way off its leash? Well, I do. And that’s him, pictured above. Boba the Escape Artist. Oh, he looks innocent enough, but he’s clever, fast and ornery. He’s also somehow managed to unlatch his leash from his harness quite a

I’ve been enjoying my Nexus 6P for a few months now, but I still miss the convenience of wireless charging. During the day it’s no big deal to plug in a cable, but at night I just set the phone next to me on the night stand so that I can easy pick it up

Do you have a hard time finding a good pair of headphones? I do. I’m really picky when it comes to sound quality, but I’m also really critical of the way headphones fit. If I stick a pair of headphones in my ears and they start bugging me within a few minutes, they immediately go

I have used projectors for decades. I have used small ones to large ones, awesome ones to crappy ones. I used projectors ‘back in the day’ that were so big you had to drag them in a suitcase. And one thing that I have always wanted was a projector that was small enough to carry

Reading a new review is great for hearing initial impressions for a product, but finding out if that “new gadget smell” lasts several months, or years later helps you find out if it’s really worth investing in it. Today we check in with six reviews that Bill Kuch posted in the past two years to
Ever since I’ve purchased the Apple Watch, I’ve been wanting a stand for it that helps me charge it easily and display it on my desk, since the cable it comes with can be hard to find in a messy space. The HoverDock by Just Mobile is a low-profile charging stand that has integrated support for Apple

I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for more than 40 years. Same guitar, but I’m hopefully a little better for the years of practice. A decade or so ago, I had my guitar retrofitted with an internal pickup, since I was playing regularly into a sound system. Recently, however, I’m more interested in getting that sound

If you love notebooks and journals as much as I do, it’s probably not a stretch to say that you also love pens. Finding the perfect pen for the perfect journal is a quest that can take a long time to complete. I have a favorite pen, but I’m not sure it’s my perfect pen,

This is another product category that has moved from being a geeky thing to perfectly normal for people in all walks of life. In the last year, I have seen power cords and surge suppressors that have several USB plugs for charging phones or tablets in coffee shops, malls, bars, and waiting areas in healthcare

Your eyes do not deceive you. There’s a hole in this speaker. The first time our own Bill Henderson mentioned the Fluance Fi70, I knew I just had to try it. But would the unusual looks translate into a something that sounded decent? I’ve got enough speakers. Why would I want another? I told myself I
