REVIEW – I used to find myself with more portable power bank chargers than you can shake a stick at (thanks to my dad for that little euphemism). I mean, I have them everywhere, in every shape and size, because you never know when you might need one, right? I can now say that I

REVIEW – Several months ago I returned to work full-time, but that does not mean that things returned to normal.

REVIEW – Very recently my partner has shared with me the wonderful world of hiking. I have exactly zero shame in admitting that when choosing trails, he picks the ones that have the most opportunities where we can stop and “take in the scenery” (AKA Cat can remember how to breathe and not expire).

REVIEW – There’s not a lot worse than having to pay for air to inflate the tires on your car or bike. Not to mention finding a place that has an air pump these days. I own a portable inflator, it is nice, but it needs to be plugged into your car’s 12V outlet. That

Unfortunately, the price of large format 3D printers runs pretty high, with some models costing well into the thousands. But, since I’m only interested in printing items slightly larger than possible
REVIEW – I’ll admit I’m a bit of a phone diva. I get suckered into the latest and greatest phone with shocking regularity, even though at this point I think we can all admit that innovation between models is marginal and the prices of flagship phones are ridiculous. With that in mind, I was curious
