REVIEW – Guitar news typically focuses on the artists themselves (and why shouldn’t it) or the core equipment (guitars, amps, strings, pedals). However, there is an unsung component that rarely gets mentioned… the guitar pick. It could be that it’s just taken for granted, relegated to band merchandising or that everyone assumes a pick is

REVIEW – I’m into interesting indoor and outdoor lighting and have written too many reviews of different products to link here.

REVIEW – It’s always fun when a smaller audio company comes from seemingly nowhere and begins besting the bigger boys in both price and audio quality. Case in point: Tribit.

REVIEW – I love cookies, cakes, pies, chocolate, and basically anything with sugar in it. That might explain why I became a pre-diabetic back in 2004 when I used to eat Poptarts and regular Cokes for breakfast. Yikes! I don’t do that anymore, but I still like sweets. I just am smarter about what I

REVIEW – My large full size keyboard at my workstation has been a bit of overkill: I rarely use the number pad and could definitely use that space to the right for more mouse space. I was excited to review the Epomaker SK21 numpad and move to a smaller everyday keyboard. Overall I’m pretty pleased

NEWS – Most multi-tools look pretty utilitarian and well…boring. Am I right? You won’t think that about the LIOE Delta 7 multi-tool though.

REVIEW – When I started engineering college in 1984, a requirement was to carry pliers, screwdrivers, and a knife to every lab.
