REVIEW – The Canon PIXMA G620 is an inkjet photo printer designed for consumer use. In a previous article, I reviewed the G620’s ability to print from my personal computer, a Mac mini, and I found that after learning how to configure a few settings, it printed beautiful photos, both on 4 x 6 glossy […]

REVIEW – Whether you are a photographer, filmmaker, videographer, or all-around content creator, chances are that you are using a light source in one way or another. And when you reach a certain level in your creative process, you want some control over your lighting. It doesn’t have to be control over the main key

REVIEW – I am in full swing with mini PCs and am on a quest to replace all of my older computers with capable mini PCs. I am using 3 mini PCs for my podcast and a few others for my Plex Server, etc. For my design and vision, I want/need to have multiple mini

REVIEW – Aer got their start by crowdfunding a combination gym/office bag and as they approach a 10 year anniversary next year, they now have quite an exhaustive collection of bags and travel essentials. I still have their first generation Travel Pack and after all this time it’s barely showing any wear. So a chance

REVIEW – In what seems like a lifetime ago, I intended to make photography/videography my business and not just a hobby. Real life kicked in, though, and I had to get a job that made more than $100 every few weeks taking the odd wedding pictures. My plans were lost to time until a few

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed or purchased several electric bikes over the past few years, and I’m starting to fully comprehend how diverse the market is these days. There are bikes catered to commuters (some needing to carry or pack the bikes into transport or storage areas), delivery drivers, recreational enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and the truly

REVIEW – Did my secret stop on my commute home just get eliminated?! I understand that secrets are not the best policy in relationships, but if my partner was aware of how many times I’ve driven out of my way to get a Route 44-sized cherry limeade (IYKYK) after a really hard day in the

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – If you’re in the market for a home projector, there are probably two key specifications you’re looking for: resolution and brightness. Many entry level projectors are 720P (or even worse), but you’re going to want at least Full HD (1080P) for any decent sized screen. If you’re going really big, then you

REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for a good ergonomic mouse as I’m in front of my laptop 8 hours at least 5 days a week. I had been using one of those upright type mice by Logitech and it was fine. I had it for years and it finally died. So when the

REVIEW – I’ve been wanting to upgrade my main PC, but just haven’t decided what route I want to go. So, I’ve been using an 8th-generation i5 machine for some tasks that require Windows 11, but it’s been having some issues. When the Kamrui CK10 Mini PC review offer came along, I decided I would

REVIEW – Over the last year, I’ve discovered that laser engraving is a fascinating and fun hobby. I’ve enjoyed using my Two Trees TTS-55 5W laser engraver but discovered that a more powerful diode laser would be better for cutting through thicker 6mm wood which is my material of choice. The Sculpfun S30 Ultra 22W
Sculpfun S30 Ultra 22W laser engraver review – awesome, though expensive Read More
REVIEW – I have been hooked on portable power stations since I was lucky enough to test and review them. After reviewing my first few, and powering and charging some essential devices, I decided that when I purchased my home I would have a solar system with a backup battery installed as one of my

REVIEW – When purchasing an office/gaming chair, comfort is of utmost importance. A comfortable desk chair can help make a difference in how you feel physically and increase productivity. Over the years, I’ve tried out a few gaming chairs, but they’ve only been okay. They didn’t quite hit the mark when it came to comfort

REVIEW – When our house was built a little over two years ago, we thought we had all the light fixtures exactly as we wanted. We paid extra to the builder to ensure we had recessed lighting instead of the basic ceiling-mounted fixtures they offered. It turns out we missed a total of four lights.Â
Rollin Light Canless LED Recessed Lighting review – Yes, you can install these yourself! Read More
REVIEW – I love to read, but increasingly find the only time I have to read is in bed, right before going to sleep. Our bedroom has nightstands with lamps, but as I’ve grown older (and my eyes have gotten worse!) those lamps don’t quite cut it for reading. Enter the Glocusent rechargeable LED neck

REVIEW – Well, what do we have here? Funny you should ask. This pocketable multi-tool behemoth is the EDC Monster multifunction titanium pry bar. It’s a MacGyver-worthy slab of metal with more functions than you can shake a stick at. What on earth would I do with that, you might ask. As soon as I

REVIEW – Most people I informally surveyed while reviewing the Joy Pebble countertop ice maker prefer nugget/pebble ice to other larger forms of ice. I’ve personally always enjoyed pebble ice but hadn’t previously sought it out, but now that the pebble ice maker has been sitting on our countertop for a few weeks, I’m feeling

REVIEW – Even though I’m female, I don’t regularly carry a purse/bag when I go out of the house. I usually put my wallet in my pocket along with my car fob and my phone. Although that works, it’s not exactly comfortable. And if I need to carry something else, forget it. So, I have

REVIEW – LEGOs and other building blocks have the amazing ability to bring things to life. This new set from JMBricklayer highlights this as well as any out there. You remember the story of Pinocchio, the enchanted marionette whose nose grew when he lied, right? The Puppet Show creates a larger-than-life version of Geppetto’s finest

REVIEW – Everyone gets bugs in their home. For some folks, it’s no big deal. They capture and release them or squish them and move on. But, for many folks, the idea of being anywhere near anything creepy-crawly gives them the heebie-jeebies. Cup-a-Bug lets you dispose of the critter while safely remaining several feet back,
