truMedic InstaShiatsu massager review

InstaShiatsu 3

I’m a sucker for a good infomercial. My Lovely Bride is always scolding me when I purchase something wacky online or from TV.

While I’ve tried out many types of headphones in my life, I never felt the need for noise canceling headphones. First, it was due to the battery, and second, I thought they were really pricey. When I heard about the Creative Aurvana ANC headphones, I had to give them a try. Not only were they

Belkin’s new Boost Up wireless charger juices 3 times faster than 5W chargers

belkin qi

I really like my Nexus 6P, but I sure do wish it had wireless charging capability. USB Type-C charging is fast, but I miss the convenience of dropping my phone on a wireless charging pad like Belkin’s new Boost Up wireless charging pad.

Let’s talk blowers. I know what you might be thinking—why would anyone bother reviewing a blower? They either work or not. That’s what I initially thought. EGO, a cordless outdoor power equipment maker, offered one of their products for review and I left it up to them to choose. Imagine my surprise—and disappointment—when I opened

lifeprint

Lifeprint is a small printer that is similar to the Polaroid ZIP printer that I reviewed last year. It uses Bluetooth to pair to your smartphone and the same type of ZINK thermal photo paper like the Polaroid ZIP printer. But that’s where the similarities end because the Lifeprint instant photo printer can print videos

When I get a new tech-toy, one of the first things I do is look for accessories designed to protect my new device.

I’m going to admit something right now that I’m not proud of… Ready? OK, here goes. I haven’t played a live role playing game before. That’s right, I have never played D&D games. Before you remove several points from my geek cred score, you have to remember, that I’m female and back when I was
