Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I recently purchased an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and the first thing that I always buy for a new phone is a new case. I typically go with simple cases, those that cover the back and sides, and I usually buy whatever is cheap on Amazon. Since this particular Apple offering is egregiously […]

REVIEW – Hey, when did crawling under a desk or table to plug something in become so much effort? If you ask yourself that question, maybe it’s time for Trond’s Desk Clamp Power Strip! Please join me for a closer look. What is it? The Trond Desk Clamp Power Strip is a switched, five-outlet extension

REVIEW – One of the most fascinating and at times controversial product categories right now are drones. We have the capability of taking videography and exploring the world in ways that were almost impossible when I was a kid. We’ve had a few inexpensive drones over the past few years, but they were primarily toys

REVIEW – When I travel, I like to bring along my iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple AirPods Pro earbuds. What I don’t like is having to bring along individual chargers for each device. The KUXIU Magsafe 3-in-1 charging station has been designed as a solution to that problem. Let’s see if it succeeds. What is

REVIEW – Now that my bike/e-bike/e-motorcycle/gas motorcycle garage shop is in full swing, outfitting it with all the necessary tools and conveniences is the next stage. One of the things I must have access to is pressurized air for tires, blowing debris from parts and of course, blowing up my kids’ soccer and basketball balls.

REVIEW – With the holidays coming up, I will be shipping more packages. Usually, I print a copy of the shipping label on regular paper only to cut it out and then run strips of packing tape across it, sealing it to the box. That’s only after I’ve had to print it a couple of

REVIEW – When we lived in Europe, our home had a heated towel bar in the bathroom. It seemed like such a decadent little thing, but as fall turns to winter I recall just how nice it was to step out of the shower and reach for a warm towel. When the Comfier towel and

REVIEW – It’s a punch-to-the-gut, sinking, black hole feeling to reach into a pocket, pack, or purse and find your missing wallet. Adding a SwitchBot Wallet Finder is a remedy to a common problem that fits the pocketbook – pun intended! 😉 What is it? The SwitchBot Wallet Finder card is a Bluetooth device that

REVIEW – I previously reviewed The James Brand Carter XL which has been a dependable knife but I also have a penchant for utility knives so when The James Brand sent me their new Palmer Clear utility knife that retails for only $39 I couldn’t wait to try it out. What is it? The James

REVIEW – There seems to be a number of different form factors popping up with projectors recently. Very slim projectors, portable cubes, and today’s variation which looks more like a spotlight than a projector at first glance. The XGODY Gimbal 3 projector looked like a fun projector to try out and looked very portable. Read

REVIEW – 3D printing is fun and challenging. You can download countless free files from sites like Thingiverse and Printables, Cults 3D, and Thangs, or create your own using Fusion 360 TinkerCAD. It takes time, patience, and a love of tinkering, but it can be great fun. Many 3D printing enthusiasts will agree that incessant
REVIEW – Sleeping with a mask on may be the greatest thing I ever learned to do. I sleep longer because there’s no light to wake me up and I fall asleep faster because it kind of “triggers” sleep. I can fall asleep anywhere, and it’s so helpful that sometimes if I need a quick

We love all the coffee things, so let’s learn more. To the
REVIEW – My first smartwatch was the Pebble, which I found to be instantly invaluable by displaying my notifications right on my wrist and then letting me decide if they were important enough to pull my phone out. For me, this has been the primary function of my smartwatches to this day. Other functions and

REVIEW – Fall is here, and the weather has turned chilly at night. That means Christmas is coming soon, and before I can say “Jingle Bells” it will be time to decorate the house. While many of the decorations in our house are traditions that have been used for years, we are always up for

REVIEW – I’ve been updating my EDC and talking about it on my YouTube channel for the past few months. My next category to discuss is flashlights and it turned out to be a good choice because I was recently offered the chance to review the SPERAS ARC Ti Titanium USB-C keychain flashlight. Let’s check

REVIEW – I’ve had my two Dell monitors for a while, but I’ve yet to find a monitor arm that fits the weight of my 32″ curved screen. I tried my heavy duty work arms, yet no matter how tight I made it, it would slide down and rest on the desk. The LiftSync Dual

REVIEW – Staying comfortable outdoors has certainly evolved in the last dozen years. Gone are the days of having to start a fire to stay warm. (Fires are still wonderfully inviting and fun, just not efficient.) Ceramic heaters and radiant heaters have been used for a long time, but they are usually large and do

REVIEW – When you live in a somewhat secluded wooded area like I do, you want to be able to monitor your property when you’re home and away from home. I’ve had multiple security cameras around my house for years, but only in the past year have I “graduated” to PoE cameras, and I love

REVIEW – One of the nice experiences when buying a new smartphone is choosing nice cases that are not only attractive but provide protection and create a good gripping surface.
