REVIEW: This is the third Wuben flashlight I’ve reviewed and the company continues to impress with their quality products. The Wuben D1 EDC flashlight uses a pretty big battery. It has a 3.6V, 18650 size battery and is the smallest flashlight I’ve seen that uses that size battery. Subtract an inch off of any of […]

ARTICLE – The year 2020 was a difficult one for pretty much everyone on the planet. We saw some seriously major catastrophes, some planetwide, some more localized.

NEWS – I doubt that you’ll argue that Victorinox makes great pocket knives and multi-tools. And you probably won’t argue with me that their Swisschamp 1.6795.XAVT multi-tool is awesome with its 82 functions.

REVIEW – I’ve been following a lazy Keto / low carb diet for the past year. I’m pre-diabetic and use Keto to keep my blood sugar levels stable and to hopefully remove the pre-diabetic label and get back into the non-diabetic group at some point in the near future. Just because I’m eating low carb

REVIEW: The Orosound Tilde Pro Premium C+ Bluetooth headset is a serious audio listening and speaking device. This headset will not be found on the impulse-buy hangers at your office supply store. (The price was my first clue.) You can listen casually with the Tilde Pro, but if you want excellent sound reproduction from a

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of robot vacuums in the past that include a wet/mop function, but neither of them did much in terms of mopping. As a result, my back still hurts after every manual mopping session. I was excited to review the Dreame H11 Max Wet and Dry vacuum and hoped that
