boox tab mini c 1

REVIEW – I love e-ink devices. Text is so easy to read. They use very little power for the most part. The tablets with handwritten note-taking abilities are my favorite. My favorite one up to this point has been the reMarkable 2, but I’m always on the lookout for the next best thing. One manufacturer,

REVIEW – My Apple Watch is one of my favorite gadgets of all time, but compared to other watches I’d owned, it’s a bit smallish and fragile.  I’d been searching for a product that would both protect my Apple Watch and make it look a bit tougher.  The Rugged Case for Apple Watch from Nomad

iDOO electric duster vac 05

REVIEW – I stopped buying canned air for dusting because at $5 to $10 per can, it just didn’t make sense. I have an air compressor in the garage, and a small rubber bulb for dusting small things like camera parts. I think the iDOO electric compressed air duster and vacuum might fit nicely in

AstroAI Portable Air 2

REVIEW – I have a nice air compressor in my garage to maintain my car and motorcycle tires.  What it can’t do for me is easily blow up inflatable objects by my pool in the backyard or inflate my tires when I am traveling.   Then there are plenty of folks who don’t have a garage

VirsoMic Rev 033

REVIEW – One aspect of my amateur video making that always seems to fall a bit short is the audio. The internal microphones on smartphones and cameras are never quite good enough to capture the full range of sound, resulting in videos that never reach professional quality. However, after testing the Godox Virso S M2
