Gravastar Sirius Pro earbuds review – Grip a set if you can

GRAVASTAR BUDS 1

REVIEW – The Gravastar Sirius Pro Earbuds have excellent sound. They come with a very creative earbud box and a heavy, durable charging carry case. They only forgot one tiny major detail. Don’t be in a hurry to put these earbuds in your ears. They are ungrippably slick and sit tightly in their case. Read

XVX M87 Coral Sea Themed Mechanical Keyboard review – looks great while nailing the basics

coral sea keyboard 12

REVIEW – Keyboards are essential, but often quite boring. Mechanical keyboards are a nice step up from the standard membrane keyboards included with most systems. Mechanical keyboards have a dizzying variety of options like the actual switches themselves (which affect typing resistance, feel, noise, activation point, and more), keycaps, lighting, etc. The XVX M87 Coral

Olight Baton 3 Pro flashlight review – Deeply groovy EDC flashlight

olight baton3 60

REVIEW – The Olight Baton 3 Pro flashlight could be called ‘deeply groovy’. It has a grip surface that is much better than traditional cross-hatch knurling. Its overall form factor fits my hand very well. And it is lightweight and has 5 brightness levels. Is there anything to not like about the Olight Baton 3

XP-Pen Artist 13 Pen Display (2nd Gen) review – Small tablet big on features

XP Pen Artist 13 2nd Gen 10

REVIEW – Let me say up front that I use an iPad Pro (2018—due for an update) for watching videos and sketching out ideas using the excellent Apple Pencil. It’s a dream tablet in many ways—except one. As good as the iPad is, it only uses its own apps, not the Mac graphic design apps

lk screenprotector 25

REVIEW – I don’t want to worry about the wear and tear of my smartphone so I like to use a minimal snap-on case and a screen protector.

Vevor Outdoor Pizza Oven review – Good pizza, with a few big drawbacks

vevor pizza oven 7

REVIEW – Wood-fired pizza is all the rage, but most pizza ovens are VERY expensive!  I’ve long wanted an outdoor wood-fired oven for homemade bread and of course, pizza.  I had visions of building one of the big bee-hive-shaped ovens made of brick and clay on our patio, but that has obviously never materialized.  When
