REVIEW – One cool thing about getting to review different gadgets is discovering products you would have previously ignored and now wonder how you could live without. They become that integral to your daily life. One such product is the portable power station. These small, portable monsters can turn a short-term power outage from an
REVIEW – Adding ports for a laptop or tablet that needs more connectivity options is part of Gadgeteer life. There’s even a name for it: DongleTown. Many newer laptops and tablets have USB-C ports (maybe exclusively), but you have an entire collection of things that predate this plug, but need to use them. You can

NEWS – I never thought my gadget-obsessed teen would get excited about an old-school portable radio. But here we are. When my son first went to sleep-away camp in the hills of Brown County, Indiana, he asked for a battery-operated radio to listen to while fishing or just chilling in his hammock after a busy

REVIEW – Have you always marched to your own beat? Are you intrigued by the idea of being a rockstar drummer, but for any of various reasons (space limitations, too-close neighbors, non-understanding spouse), setting up the skins just isn’t in the cards? AreoBand might have the answer you’re looking for with their new PocketDrum wireless

REVIEW – Let me state a couple of things right up front. First, I’ve never owned a Mac (or PC) laptop, so I’m approaching this review as a non-trackpad user. Second, when I bought my new(ish) iPad Pro 2018 model, I immediately purchased the Brydge iPad Pro keyboard that Dave Rees reviewed here. Like Dave,
NEWS – Most flashlights look pretty similar. They are round, have a power button on one end, and a bright LED on the opposite end. But not the RovyVon Angel Eyes (weird name, right?) flashlight. This one sports a cool retro sci-fi vibe that makes it look like it came straight out of the prop

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

REVIEW – How hot is it outside? What’s the humidity right now? How fast is the wind blowing? How much did it rain last night? These are all questions we’ve probably asked at one time or another and we can find generalized answers by launching our favorite weather apps. But those apps don’t provide accurate

NEWS – As we continue to work from home, there’s been one consistent challenge: Our dogs.

REVIEW – Docking stations are one of those gadgets that you don’t know you need, until you’ve used one. Being able to plug in a single cable when you come and go from your desk is delightful. I’ve also had some experiences with poor docks where drivers caused problems or video wouldn’t work correctly. The
