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.

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.

REVIEW – We have air purifiers running in nearly every room in our house, but it’s not because we’re paranoid.

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.
