REVIEW – Dark. It is something to be eradicated in a home. If you have a too-dark corner, a floor lamp that shines up as well as diffusing light all around can turn that dark corner into a design highlight. BoostArea has just such a solution with its 9-Watt LED floor lamp. Is it a […]

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Are you a golfer? Do you go to the driving range? If the answers are “yes”, one more question: what’s the worst thing about the driving range?

REVIEW – Before COVID-19 and being at home all the time, I liked being able to grab something quick for breakfast that was healthier than a Poptart or a sugary cereal (FYI, a Poptart used to be my breakfast of choice back in the day). These days, a quick breakfast for me is usually a

REVIEW – Gaming has taken a hard turn into mobile of late. Used to be, you had to get a fancy PC rig or a console to have the speed and video rendering capabilities needed for action-filled, high-processor games. Now, many phones or tablets can play pretty heavy-duty titles. But what about the control aspect

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed many portable Bluetooth speakers, from dirt cheap to quite expensive. What’s interesting is that a speaker that costs twice as much as another sometimes doesn’t sound twice as good. In fact, a cheaper speaker will often sound better than a more expensive one. When that happens, that speaker can become very

REVIEW – Having a light source handy is part of any good EDC kit. Because my daily needs are typically fairly light duty, I don’t opt for large, uber high-powered lights, but instead gravitate toward small, compact, powerful lights. The Olight Perun Mini is one such light. Let’s take a look. What is it? The

REVIEW – We are retired. That means that nearly all the meals we cook are just for my lovely wife and me. We live in central Florida, where anything that adds excessive heat in the house is a bad thing. That includes stoves. What if there was a small oven that was sized perfectly to

REVIEW – It’s amazing to me that new consoles have no included ability to pair Bluetooth headsets. The Creative BT-W3 Bluetooth Audio Transmitter could be the missing link you’ve been waiting for. What is it? The Creative BT-W3 is a USB-C Bluetooth audio transmitter that supports 4 different codecs — aptX LL, aptX HD, aptX,

REVIEW – Bluetooth headphones are a convenience. Not having to worry about wires getting in the way while you’re mowing the lawn, washing dishes, or whatever you like to do while listening to music, podcasts, or TV, is such a benefit.
