nanoleaf essential lights 1

REVIEW – The gadget industry has talked for years about everyone having a smart home, but the way they’ve gone about hasn’t been very smart at all.  Every vendor has their own products, their own hubs, their own standards, and their own protocols.  This has made it difficult if not impossible for the various smart

Bitvae Water Flosser review – No parsley between YOUR teeth!

BITVAE 11

REVIEW – Just prior to the The Bitvae Water Flosser coming up for review my dentist told me to start water flossing. What timing! The concept brings back my memories of the original boxy, water flosser my Mom bought. It sat on a wall mount because there were no countertops in our house, just standalone

Eargo 7 Hearing Aid review – a definite help for those with mild to moderate hearing loss

Eargo 7 12

REVIEW – If you are hard of hearing, the years 2017 and 2022 should mean something to you. In 2017, Congress passed the “Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act“ and in mid-2022, the FDA finalized the rule enabling access to over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. It took ‘em long enough. Before these historic laws, hearing aids were prescription

poly voyager 5

REVIEW – Starting in March, I had to return to my office four days a week.  I had gotten used to being at home, where it was nice and quiet.  I knew I wanted to bring my earbuds into work to use them for Microsoft Teams meetings and provide entertainment during lunch.  The problem with

UGREEN USB 9-in-1 Docking Station

REVIEW – Using a computer today often requires plugging in a large number of external devices – monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, storage, and so many other devices to plug in and use. With laptops and smaller form-factor computers having a limited number of connections it’s important to find a quality hub or docking station to

Vosteed RaccoonCB 01

REVIEW –  A few months ago I reviewed the original Vosteed Raccoon button lock which has become one of my favorite knives. There were, however, a few complaints on the interweb about being able to force the lock if you hit the spine hard enough. Vosteed listened and decided to make the Raccoon even tougher by

infrared 9

REVIEW – Infrared cameras, or those that can “see” or image heat, are becoming more common and less expensive.  The InfiRay Xinfrared T2S+ thermal camera is tiny and just pops into the USB-C port of your phone.  When paired with the companion app, it lets you create thermal images of almost anything, as well as accurately

VIDEO REVIEW – Last year I purchased a replica of the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade grail diary from a link on Facebook. The book was a dud in more ways than one, so I wrote a review and also posted a flip through video of it on YouTube. Mark of Ramseyprops saw my
