REVIEW – When it comes to creating video, we concentrate on visual aspects such as exposure, focus, white balance, frame rate, and more. But what many people tend to overlook is the audio. Sound can make or break a video especially when it comes to the dialogue. If you cannot make out what people are […]

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’m a big proponent of e-ink. I prefer reading and writing on an e-ink tablet over an LCD any day, but when I heard of the Eyemoo NXT Epaper S1 Android tablet, I was intrigued. Eyemoo has created the “World’s first color Reflective-LCD with front light” and I wanted to check it

REVIEW – I have a laptop bag from back when you could only get laptop backpacks at an electronics store so it isn’t the most fashionable or practical for day-to-day use. When Troubadour Goods offered their sleek and classy-looking Aero Backpack for review I couldn’t say no. Let’s see what the Troubadour Goods Aero Backpack

REVIEW – I’ve been in search of a set of wireless earbuds that provide a good seal in my apparently weirdly shaped right ear for quite some time. I tried several pairs from different OEMs and never got one to seal properly. So, I missed out on any fullness of sound they had to offer

REVIEW – I am a big fan of the Raspberry Pi and currently several Pi 4 computer boards. Over the past few years, I have purchased many cases for the boards, mostly because I am always looking for an interesting and/or attractive case. I was immediately intrigued when I received the review offer for this

REVIEW – We have air purifiers running in nearly every room in our house, but it’s not because we’re paranoid. Rather, we have several genuine reasons to use caution: We live in a state (Utah) that has some of the planet’s highest small-particle pollution in the winter (due to inversions where smog is trapped in

REVIEW – If you work on things long enough, sooner or later, you’ll undoubtedly say, “If I could just see it, I could fix it.” Often it seems like you either can’t see the orientation of something or you can’t even get close enough to inspect it. The Depstech Dual-Lens 1920P Video Borescope Inspection Camera
REVIEW – For Christmas one year when I was a kid, I asked for a microscope. Yes, I was a nerd as a kid too. I had a lot of fun with that entry-level Tasco microscope. I looked at squigglies in bird bath water (eew), my hair, leaves, etc. When I was offered a sample

REVIEW – Last year, I reviewed the PowerSmart Electric 40V F4017 lawnmower. It was my first experience with an electric lawnmower and I didn’t come away super impressed by its battery life which only provided about 30 minutes of mowing time. Recently, when PowerSmart offered to send me a newer, larger electric mower, I was

REVIEW – One of the features that I always wanted in my basement was a bar. It took me some time but I eventually built it and have been spending time creating a friendly and cozy atmosphere. I think I succeeded because my wife loves to hang out down there and watch a movie while

REVIEW – Ever since I bought my GORUCK GR1 in 2015, I haven’t looked twice at another backpack, at least not until I picked up a GORUCK Bullet seven years later. Between those two sturdy GORUCKs, I never thought I would need or want another pack. However, after some time with the Able Carry Daily

REVIEW – I’ve owned at least a half-dozen gaming laptops starting in college in the early 2000s, and I’ve always loved the ability to play anywhere (at the cost of paying a bit more for a bit less performance). I’ve also tried at least a half dozen different couch trays or other accouterments while playing

REVIEW – Julie was offered some color calibration gadgets from Datacolor and I reluctantly agreed to review them after much arm twisting and other gadgeteer pressure tactics … OK, I readily agreed to review them. Datacolor sent over samples of the Spyder X Create Kit (which includes the Spyder X Pro , Spyder Shelf, Spyder

REVIEW – In today’s ever-evolving world of crime statistics and government/corporate privacy invasions, you need to be aware of your options and how far you think you need to go to protect yourself and your family. Sometimes, a product comes along that can kill two birds with one stone (pun intended). Spy+Survival Briefing offers a

REVIEW – When it comes to headphones, I’ve been using the AirPods Pro earbuds for a while, due to the ease of connecting to my phone and noise cancelling. They weren’t the best for going out and getting exercise, however, so I kept an eye out for a pair of earbuds that would work for
