REVIEW – If you’ve read any of my keyboard reviews, you’ll know I’m a keyboard nerd. I love a good mechanical keyboard. A while back I even got the opportunity to build my own. In the end, though I was a little disappointed with the keycaps. I was going to use a set I already […]

NEWS – We live in a world where convenience and portability are key components that drive the vast use of technology. Personally, my need for portability has evolved from just a laptop to a mini PC and a device that integrates, the screen, keyboard, and audio functionality into one neat package. I mention this as

A sleek and minimalistic coffee machine that brews pour over like a science, xBloom Studio may uncover the undiscovered barista in you. I’ve spent the last month with this mini monolith and want to share my experience so you
REVIEW -The NUU B30 Pro 5G phone is a new release from a, -new- brand to me. The phone carries an endorsement as the phone of the FC Dallas soccer team. Does that sway you or do you need me to tell you if the phone is a keeper? I’ll do my job and let

REVIEW – Recently my stove top has decided to have an existential crisis. All of a sudden the burner of the stove top has decided to only work on High heat without the inner section ever turning on. The middle back burner can’t decide if it wants to work full blast or not at all.

REVIEW – Those of you who have read some of my previous reviews, will know that I’m building out my truck as an adventure vehicle.

REVIEW – I have been a videographer and photographer for many years, but I recently decided to do less of that and work more on my social media channels. Although I knew I would need space for media storage, I did not realize how much I would need especially since my wife also has social

REVIEW – I love eBikes! Just over 2 years ago, I took a 30K ride along Spain’s Costa del Sol on one, and loved it! I’m never going back to regular bikes. So, I’ve asked for a few reviews here when e-bikes are offered to the team, and, lo-and-behold, a step-thru bike was offered, and

REVIEW – Since the departure of the Philips Pronto and Logitech Harmony lines, there has been a substantial unfilled void in the consumer remote control market. I’ve explored a multitude of contenders seeking a comparable solution and was eager to look at SwitchBot’s new Universal Remote. Is it the “Harry Potter” of remote control wands?

REVIEW – Open ear air conduction earbuds are a fancy way of saying ‘directional earbud speaker’, but their capabilities are surprising. I’m digging further into this new trend of portable audio bliss with the latest flagship by OpenRock – the X earbud. It’s a premium offering, and we’ll see if it’s worth the premium price.

REVIEW – Mechanical keyboards come in a variety of sizes. I tend to go for 75% size keyboards because I don’t need a dedicated keypad, but I like a dedicated row of function keys. When I accepted the offer to review the Varmilo Muse 65 mechanical keyboard, I was going to pass it on to

REVIEW – If there’s one thing that goes along with summer, it’s grilling outside. But what if you want to grill on the go—at a park, a beach, or while tailgating? You want to cook for a short period, but you don’t want to have to wait around all day for the grill to heat
REVIEW – I started a new job a couple of years ago. Trust me, it was for the better. This new job, however, requires I go out on construction sites which means I need PPE (personal protective equipment). One of the items I needed was steel or comp toe boots. So, I researched online and

REVIEW –My family and I live to be outside as much as possible all year long. We love camping, road trips, and spending time with family and friends. A lot of these activities involve coolers, which are great for keeping things cold, but come with the hassle of ice, the water that results from the
REVIEW – Vosteed is back with another knife. Shocking, I know. This time they’re following their excellent Raccoon pocket knife with a baby version, the Raccoon Cub. Get it? Baby version? Never mind. Anyway, I’m never not impressed with any of the Vosteed offerings I’ve been able to review. So when asked if I’d care

REVIEW – We have a chef’s store near us, one of those places that caters to restaurants but allows anyone to shop. It’s a fabulous place to pick up some large cuts of meat, and my wife recently picked up a pork butt and a pork shoulder. To help her cook the meat to exactly

REVIEW – It’s amazing how far phone cameras have evolved over the years. When the first smartphones were introduced, most people used a dedicated point-and-shoot camera. Today, most people don’t even own a dedicated point-and-shoot camera and use their phone as their primary camera. While the latest phone cameras are great, they aren’t perfect for

REVIEW – I recently reviewed the Synido MIDI Keyboard Controller Beat Maker Machine and the Synido TempoPAD P16 Portable Beat Pad and have thoroughly enjoyed noodling around and making music with both tools since those reviews.

REVIEW – I love knowing what’s happening in and around my home, especially when I’m out and have over a dozen cameras on vigilant duty. There are many times I wish I could see just a little beyond where a camera points. For those times, the SwitchBot Pan/Tilt 3K Cam scratches that Gadgeteer itch with
