REVIEW – My friends will attest that I have a problem with flashlights, namely that I’ve never met a flashlight that I didn’t like (well at least until I’ve tried it out). When the opportunity to review the Imalent RT90 4800 lumen flashlight came up, I jumped on the opportunity. Let’s see if the RT90 […]

ARTICLE – When my family started our work-from-home/school-from-home adventure, our set-up was loosey-goosey. My husband started in the already-established basement office but quickly found it too dark and depressing. So he moved to the sunroom. However, lounging on the couch with his laptop was awkward and uncomfortable. My boys mostly hid in their rooms. And

REVIEW – When it comes to computer gear, I am pretty picky about the keyboard that I use. After all, I interact with this peripheral all day long, so it has to match the way I work and my computer set up. During the day, I set behind a desk with my MacBook connected to

REVIEW – Interest in the contents of the air we breathe has taken a dramatic uptick recently for some reason (cough…COVID…cough), but we residents of Salt Lake City and nearby suburbs are very familiar with dangerous air.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’m not into styling my hair. For me, I comb it and hope it’s not messed up. This is even more true during the pandemic since I’m not going into an office with other people. There are times I need to dry my hair, and the idea of a hair dryer without

ARTICLE – Desktop setups are usually personal, and mine is no exception. The driving undercurrent for my layout is threefold. Multiple monitors: I started using them at work, and now have it ingrained into my DNA. Left and Right screens, with the third screen of the laptop available as a tertiary workspace if needed. I

REVIEW – As an Eagle Scout and father to a scout, to me the idea of a firestarter that works by just pulling a string felt slightly insulting a first. Fire making is an essential scout skill, after all! Then I looked back at all the times I’ve been in difficult or near-miserable situations where

ARTICLE – Julie asked us all to do a write-up of our work-from-home tech setup. I don’t work. My wife doesn’t work. Well, we did, but we retired, so we don’t really have a work from home setup. But, writing for The Gadgeteer does require some tech, and my wife and I use laptops, so

REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for ways to make more time in the day. One way to do that is to skip meals because preparing food is time-consuming both in the prep, eating, and clean up. One way to get back the bulk of that time without starving is to switch things up

REVIEW – The Mkeke 20W USB C Charger is manufactured by Shenzhen Aoda Power Technology Co. Ltd. This economy-priced charger might stack up nicely to more expensive competitors.
