REVIEW – I was excited when I received the LIPOWER Mars-1000 Pro to review. Would this 1kWh power station deliver twice the energy than a modest half kilowatt-hour device does that I have access to? On paper, it would seem to be a waste of time to think otherwise. Read on to see my actual […]

REVIEW – I can think of plenty of situations apart from RV camping when portable refrigeration would be advantageous – power outages, a little extra ice or food storage for a family reunion, and emergency medication storage come to mind. If you need cold, Bodega’s R50 RV refrigerator is fabulous! What is it? The Bodega

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, my daughter came home from work and reported a car parked adjacent to hers had been damaged and burglarized for the coins in the cup holder. She’s savvy enough to not leave anything valuable in her car, even if it’s only a few dollars in coins, but it got

REVIEW – Sublimation is all the rage in the craft world, and while I didn’t know much about it when I opted for the Vevor Mug Press, I feel like an expert now! Let’s just say the learning curve is low and the Vevor Mug Press does all the work (mostly). What is it? The

REVIEW – Did you purchase an iPhone 14 Pro Max? If you answered yes, you probably need a case to protect it. Of all the case makers I have had the pleasure to review cases from, Nomad is one of the best. They recently sent me one of their newest cases, the Sport Case. And

REVIEW – Are you looking for the best hand coffee grinder? Perhaps the best coffee scale and timer? The Wacaco Exagrind and Wacaco Exagram may have you covered. These compact, effective, and well-built pieces lead the way not only in home coffee brewing, but also in the emerging movement known as “trail coffee.” or the
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. Being in the office again after Covid looks quite different with what seems to be at least double the number of meetings, but with everyone attending from their offices or cubicles and all via Microsoft

NEWS – I pride myself on using reusable bags when I go grocery shopping. Back in the day when we didn’t bring our own bags to the store, we ended up collecting enough plastic bags to overflow a large trashcan liner bag with them. The Shoppacart looks like it might be an even better solution

NEWS – Tired of your old QWERTY keyboard? Do ergonomic keyboards twist your wrists in funny directions? Maybe you should take a look at a new concept keyboard from Google Japan: The Google GBoard. Instead of stacking keys over keys, the GBoard puts them all in a row. Yes, one big long row! That would

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

REVIEW – I jump at a review item every now and then, only to find out it’s not exactly what I thought it was. I initially thought the Aspiron Canister Steam Cleaner was a carpet shampoo/steam cleaner, but it turns out it’s not. However, I found that I really could use it. What is it?

REVIEW – After getting bit by the 3D printing bug a few years back the desire to print larger, more complex items quickly followed. 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
