REVIEW – I have always been a fan of e-ink products and the like. The idea of a low power display that looks like paper and is easy on the eyes? Sign me up. I have had numerous devices in this category over the last couple years. So when the Eazeye Radiant Monitor sent up […]

REVIEW – While most people use their phones as their primary cameras for quick snaps and videos, sometimes a dedicated camera is a better option. It keeps your phone’s camera roll and memory from filling up, and many dedicated cameras come with special mounts for bikes, etc. Today I want to show you the SJCAM

REVIEW – I live in the middle of 12 acres of woods. When there’s a storm, there’s always a bunch of fallen branches and sticks. I’ve always wondered if a wood chipper could become a handy outdoor tool for me and now I’ve had the chance to test one. Let’s take a look at the

REVIEW – I have used hobby knives since I started building model airplanes in my pre-teens. I’ve since had decades of mishaps and frustration caused by my general clumsiness and dull knives. Lately, my 3D print farm production has required quite a bit of post-processing with various tools including hobby knives, so I jumped at

I love it when a pair of earbuds I’ve liked gets a noticeable upgrade across many areas. Back in 2023, I reviewed the Status Audio Between 3ANC earbuds and thought they were cool, but not quite enough to replace my trusted Apple AirPods Pro earbuds. It’s now 2025, and Status Audio has not been resting

REVIEW – For the past several years we have used an old-fashioned charcoal grill at the house. We love that charcoal flavor in the food, and going old-school is pleasantly satisfying slowly watching those gloriously glowing coals! But it was time to bring back the gas grill to our backyard barbeques, because sometimes you just

REVIEW – As you all know, ebikes are a part of my nerdy world, and I was extremely excited when Cycrown offered the CycHunter ebike for review.

REVIEW – The speakers on many TVs aren’t that great. They lack depth and often sound tinny, which may be fine when listening to voices or dialog, but for music and movies, they are pretty disappointing. But sometimes adding a speaker system results in more wires, more remotes, and more space. What does the Creative

REVIEW – I try. There are plenty of things that I fall short on, but no one can say that I don’t try. Organizing, planning, keeping details in check, all of these things are some of my favorite items, but also places where I tend to forget or give up. The Rocketbook flex planner has
