Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – Electric scooters are all the rage among city commuters. They are generally light, portable, powerful, and efficient. I’ve tried several, and as someone over 6 feet tall, I often feel cramped. And with height comes weight (190 lb, in my case), and with weight comes a need for power. Enter the InMotion S1 […]
InMotion S1 electric scooter review – A comfortable ride, that’s just a bit larger Read More
REVIEW – Dash cameras have become inexpensive, small, and the quality of the imagery has really improved in the last few years. With all that improvement, it seems like a no-brainer to get a dash cam. At best, you could protect yourself in a lawsuit or dispute with an insurance company. Or you can just

REVIEW – If you have a house with trees and/or large shrubs, you know how much upkeep it can be to keep things properly trimmed. If you’re like us, you have been too busy and/or poor to tackle the pruning or hire someone to do it. The Saker multifunction mini chainsaw is exactly what we’ve

REVIEW – It’s me again with another keyboard review. I can’t help myself. These things are like Pokemon. I gotta catch them all, and like Pokemon, there seem to be millions of them. This time it’s the Lofree Flow, a low-profile mechanical keyboard. I reviewed the Nuphy Air75 a while back, sent to me by
Lofree Flow low profile mechanical keyboard review – A smooth operator Read More
REVIEW – There are places in most of our homes, offices, garages, or sheds that need more or better lighting. LED technology and battery technology have improved quite a bit in recent years so now, there are numerous solutions to this problem. I was recently sent the HIBOITEC sconces to test. I’ve installed them (it’s

REVIEW – When it comes to decorating my home and office, I’m the first one to admit that I have an eclectic style. I like all sorts of interesting things and these table lamps from EP Designlab caught my eye a few years ago when Garry Kolb reviewed their bulbs. At that time, they didn’t

REVIEW – A few months ago I had the pleasure of reviewing a 1:16 RC truck from DEERC that has continued to be a blast to tear around the yard and street with. This time around, I’ve got a slightly larger and slightly different style 1:14 “Fast Shark RC Car” in for testing, so I’ll

REVIEW – I’ve had my current mouse for a while and decided it may be time to upgrade so when Mech Keys asked me to try out the new Dareu A950 Pro Magnesium Alloy mouse I jumped at the chance. Let’s see what the Dareu A950 Pro Mg has to offer. What is it? The Dareu

REVIEW – I have reviewed a couple of laser engraver machines for The Gadgeteer, and when the Wainlux K8 came up for review, I was very intrigued by not only its styling, but its unique feature set. Wainlux has several machines in their lineup that are on par with larger, more “traditional” laser etching machines.

REVIEW – By now, I think that it would be redundancy overkill if I mentioned that I am a big fan of BenQ products. But, I still say it. Recently, I have been revamping the gear set up in my home office/studio to meet the needs of my podcast and other social media projects, as

REVIEW – I didn’t order my iPhone 15 Pro Max until a couple of months after it was announced, and as a result, I lost out on all of the case review offers that flooded my inbox in the early days of the 15 series of phones. Luckily another offer came in days before the

REVIEW – I’m always looking for great pens that I can use as part of my EDC, even if I’m mostly stuck at a desk all day. That’s where the Blank Forces INJECTOR pen is a fun option because it can go from pocket to desk in an elegant way. Let’s take a look at
Blank Forces EDC gear review – titanium INJECTOR Pen & Dock and Hyperlink carabiner Read More
REVIEW – The curse of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is that it takes two devices to work in. You need to have a keyboard for input, and a pointing device for moving the insertion point around and selecting/dragging graphical elements about. Originally, that was a keyboard and mouse. The laptop brought it down to

REVIEW – If my memory serves me right, I have been able to test and review just about every generation of the Tablo devices and I must say that I have always been a fan. Over the years, the Tablo Over-The-Air TV/DVR device has added features and functionality and now they have sent me the
Tablo 4th Gen review – whole-home DVR Read More
REVIEW – I reviewed my first scooter this year, and I’ve had fun riding it up and down my road. I thought it would be a fun way to ride to the mailbox every day since it’s about a quarter of a mile from my front door. The only problem is that I sometimes get
Gyroor C1 electric scooter review – You can sit and ride on this scooter! Read More
REVIEW – When EDC fans think about multi-tools, the first thing that usually comes to mind is a Leatherman, Gerber, or SOG multi-tool that unfolds into a pair of pliers with other tools in each of the handles. Today I want to talk about a different kind of multi-tool. The Antdesign E-One EDC multi-tool. Let’s
Antdesign E-One EDC multi-tool review Read More
REVIEW – I’m a lifelong fan of building bricks, whether they’re from the big-name company or the rapidly growing selection of other brick companies out there. I’ve definitely noticed a quality difference between some companies, ranging from “almost-identical to the well-known brand” to “I’m throwing out this whole set before I’m even halfway done because

REVIEW – I have always loved dogs. I have never loved the amount of fur they can leave around the house. I have always had shelties as an adult, but during COVID-19, we adopted a puppy from a shelter. According to his DNA test, Peanut is 44% chihuahua, 28% dachshund, 15% Australian cattle dog, and

REVIEW – I haven’t been much of a bird watcher so far in my life, but I have always enjoyed related activities like hiking and visiting zoos and aviaries. We’ve also has a cheap bird feeder in our back yard intermittently for years, and I always like, seeing the different birds visit, so when the
Birdfy Feeder Bamboo review – easily observe feathered friends while they feed Read More
REVIEW – At the risk of sounding a little too Californian, I hereby reveal that I have two electric cars. While there is a lot of infrastructure here to support them, without a level two charger at home I wouldn’t be able to make it to work every day. What can I say? I also
