REVIEW – My daughter has routinely been the recipient of whatever iPhone I’ve moved on from. It’s worked out well in general up until the last one which developed a green line on the left of the screen after one drop. A few more drops and it finally gave out and we decided to get […]

REVIEW – Frederick Lancaster originated the concept of a paperless society way back in 1978. Over forty years later, and we’re still not there. To be fair, we use a lot less paper in our family than we used to, but there always seems to be some piece of paper that we get that’s too

NEWS – As we continue to work from home, there’s been one consistent challenge: Our dogs. They might be sweet and silent for hours, but as soon as that conference call starts, they suddenly need to bark at every squirrel, bird or leaf that passes by the window. Or they absolutely must chase each other

REVIEW – I’ve always wanted an “action camera”, but spending hundreds of dollars on something that I would use only occasionally in my life seemed like a poor choice. The AKASO Brave 6 Plus Action Camera promises performance that would rival the much-more-expensive brands, but does it live up to its spec-sheet? What is it?
