REVIEW – The robot floor cleaner market is expanding and we, as the human owners of those floors, benefit from the innovation expansion drives. My partner and I have owned several different brands and models of robot vacuum; only once did we ever have one of THOSE accidents… pet owners, if you know, you know. […]
REVIEW – I never used to pay attention to flashlights. If I needed one, I would trot down to Home Depot or Lowes and grab one—usually a Maglite (pre LED). My, how times have changed. I was blown away by a recent flashlight I reviewed, the Imalent MS12 Mini LED at 68,000 Lumens! It’s an
REVIEW – Can a lawnmower, which kind of resembles a planetary rover, free one from ever having to mow their lawn again? Read on to see how the very cool-looking EcoFlow BLADE robot lawnmower performed for me. What is it? The EcoFlow BLADE is a robot lawnmower that does not require any kind of physical

REVIEW – Even before the pandemic, online purchases were on the rise, and with the world period of stay-at-home, this trend skyrocketed. More shipped packages mean more labels, so investing in a good label printer is one way to increase efficiency and lower costs for small or large businesses. The Nelko Bluetooth Thermal Shipping Label

REVIEW – A few weeks ago I published a news post about Rocketbook’s sticky note crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. I like their stuff but these new reusable sticky notes won’t be shipping until next year! A few days after I posted that article, the folks at Scribble Scrub sent me an email offering to send

REVIEW – I’ve had a gym membership in the past, but I’d rather work out in the comfort and privacy of my own home. So I have accumulated a variety of workout gear that includes a Sole Fitness treadmill, a low-end Total Gym, and a collection of hand weights, resistance bands, etc. And now I

REVIEW – My husband has accumulated many things he needs to bring in his everyday travels. Shorts or pants pockets can no longer hold what he needs on a daily basis. He has been looking for a good lightweight, small bag to carry his two wallets (yea, don’t get me started!), reading glasses, a large

REVIEW – I have been into Raspberry Pi mini-computers for several years. I have found them to be a good solution for many small projects like running my DakBoard, to handling simple graphics for my podcast. Over the past year, I have upgraded my network infrastructure to support 10G, and I have been searching for

REVIEW – Face it, most Bluetooth speakers today sound decent enough to enjoy, and some even sound darn good. So, assuming all Bluetooth speakers sound good, what distinguishes one from another? Currently, it’s usually the design that is the deciding factor. How “cool” is it? It can be overly designed for the “In” crowd like
REVIEW – In my ongoing quest for a robotic companion to reside on my desk, I have found few worthy contenders. While the ClicBot (reviewed in June 2022) and the Petoi Bittle (reviewed in November 2022) came close, neither of them quite fit the bill. Taking my search to the next level, I have been
REVIEW – I have mentioned before that one thing I enjoy doing is detailing my cars. You can be much more efficient and use less water when washing your car using a pressure washer. A gas-powered pressure washer can do the trick, but then you have to worry about engine maintenance, making sure you do

REVIEW – Does your job require you to sit all day? Mine does. I sit and stare at 2 computer screens all day in my art directing job. I love my work and can sometimes be so focused on what I’m doing that 5 hours can pass without taking a break (not smart). Sitting for

REVIEW – If you’re someone who cares deeply about the final quality of shots you take on your camera, you are probably using some sort of post-production software. It may just be cropping and a few tweaks in your computer’s photo software, or maybe you downloaded a photo-processing app. But if you’re serious, you’ll have

REVIEW – I cook with thermometers all the time because I don’t trust my skills. One day, the sleek Typhur InstaProbe thermometer popped up in my social media feeds. It LOOKS pretty neat but is it good enough to dethrone my reliable Thermoworks Thermapen One? What is it? The Typhur InstaProbe is a battery-operated thermometer

REVIEW – I’ve owned and reviewed oodles of knives but I always seem to use my $5 utility knife when opening boxes or cleaning up 3d prints or just whenever I need a super sharp edge. I was looking for a super small utility blade holder (I even 3d printed a few) and found the Exceed
