REVIEW – You’re about to enter the sexy, exciting world of… Wall plug chargers ! I can’t do it. I’m not a hype-er. Chargers should just work. But isn’t that what we need them for? The best ones give us reliable, steady power when a device needs to be powered up. Baseus sent their PowerMega

REVIEW – Just before COVID hit, I was fortunate to purchase a Herman Miller office chair for my home office use. When COVID hit, my home office became my main office from March 2020 to March 2023, where I had to go back to work four days a week in the office. I quickly realized

REVIEW – If you search for “Lodge” on Google, you’re going to get a bunch of links to the famous cast-iron cookware followed by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Great Wolf Lodge. What you won’t see are any links to a solar-powered Bluetooth speaker. That’s a shame because the Lodge Solar Speaker 4 Series-2

REVIEW – Using an iPad or Android tablet on your lap is perfectly fine, but for those times when you want to use one at your desk, you need a stand. Today I want to show you the Minisopuru adjustable tablet stand and hub which not only props up your tablet, but adds additional functionality
REVIEW – I’m always on the prowl for new keyboards to try out, especially mechanical keyboards with features or switches that I haven’t experienced yet.

REVIEW – My wife and I love to go trail hiking, especially up in the Appalachian Mountains. Some of the places we go are popular, and there are lots of other hikers; other trails, however, are remote, and we may not see anyone else for a couple of hours. Whenever we go hiking, I like

REVIEW – Photos, videos, documents, etc., all take up space on our laptops. When moving files from one computer to another, a USB flash drive or hard drive makes that task easy. I was recently given the opportunity to review the ORICO ClearLink M.2 SSD Enclosure + 2TB NVMe SSD bundle. Let’s check it out.

REVIEW – I work from home. On a laptop. A small laptop. I have 2 – 27″ HDMI monitors (just regular ol’ HD, sniffles), a USB DAC for 2 studio monitors I got for a steal, a USB speakerphone because I got tired of wearing a headset all day, a USB keyboard because I prefer
REVIEW – I’ve noticed a couple of trends in the power station product category over the last few years that I’m excited about: LiFePO4 battery chemistry (for longer lifespans), faster charging (both through solar and AC inputs), and UPS functionality (the ability to use the power station as a backup emergency power source with items

REVIEW – Throughout my career as an art director, I’ve used many drawing tablets, displays, and even a few Apple iPads. In the display arena, for what seems like forever, Wacom was “it”—the only game in town. Then, competitors began showing up and recently have been giving Wacom some real competition. XPPen is one such

REVIEW – The Kapco team is always coming up with new designs for the keyboard nerds of the world. The latest in the lineup is their Greekeys line, and what I have here is the Medusa set. Being a kid of the 80’s, I was enthralled by The Clash of the Titans. Does anyone else
REVIEW – I’ve used small photo printers like the original HP Sprocket photo printer to add sticker photos to my analog journals for years. Now HP has a new photo printer on the market which uses rolls of paper instead of sheets. Today we check out the HP Sprocket Panorama photo printer. What is it?

REVIEW – Even though we returned to the office four days a week last year in March, 90% of my meetings are still via Microsoft Teams. Crazy, but true! Since then, I have searched for the perfect earbuds for my office. When I work from home, I use some really nice computer speakers since I

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed e-bikes of so many shapes and sizes now that I didn’t think another one would surprise me with new features. I was therefore mildly shook when I saw the description of the Freebeat MorphRover Ebike with an included at-home workout station, but I was worried that a package like this would

REVIEW – One of the biggest problems I often encounter as a maker/tinkerer is finding room on my workbench for the latest new tools. Case in point, my current laser engraver, the TwoTrees TS2, which I reviewed back in January 2023, is great, but it takes up pretty much all of my workspace whenever I
REVIEW – I’ve been enjoying printing photos from my Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer. Printing photos using this printer is effortless and fun. However, the maximum size photo I can print is 8×10 and I’d like to be able to print larger photos. I recently got the opportunity to review the
