Dash cams have become very popular in the last few years, but now we have another type of camera for cars. No, it’s not a back up camera, it’s a backseat camera or a babycam. The Garmin babyCam connects without tools to the headrest of your seat and interfaces wirelessly with a variety of Garmin

It’s no secret that I go on trips a lot. From IP cameras to watch my cats, to backpacks for the plane, I love to use items that make life easier when I am away. When I was given a chance to review The Briefcase by Pad and Quill, I thought it might make a

Just when you’ve gotten used to one headphone, it’s been discontinued and another has taken its place. Their headphones and earphones are also some of the prettiest designs available, although the earphone’s beauty is mostly hidden

In my recording/audio booth, I’m constantly finding ways to make things a little more efficient in such a tiny, 5×5 foot space. I like to keep my hands free when recording, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to try out the Kinesis Savant Elite2 Dual Pedal. SHARE ON TwitterFacebookPin It

Every year when Jeanne and I go to Florida for vacation, we talk about taking along one of our metal detectors to hunt the beaches for “treasure”. So far we’ve never actually taken one with us because we’d have to dismantle it to put in our luggage. That wouldn’t be a huge hardship, but we’ve

When the opportunity to review the iBobber from ReelSonar was presented, I took the bait. I was excited to try a fishing bobber made for the 21st century that was also a fish finder, a waterbed mapper, GPS tagger & trip logger, and weather station. We already had a fishing trip planned so it was

I love leather. Whenever I am strolling and shopping as a tourist, I always stop in leather shops. So when I had the chance to spend some time with a Burkley Leather case for my brand new iPad Pro 9.7, I quickly volunteered. A week later, I “woke up” and discovered I really wanted only a one night stand

Whenever I look like I need help carrying things, which is quite often apparently, I tend to hear, “Hey, let me help you with that!” My snarky response if I have the situation well under control is, “C’mon, I could do this with a baby on each hip, but thanks for asking.” Sometimes it turns

I’ve been using the LG G5 for almost a month now and posted my first impressions two weeks ago. As far as looks and feel, I still don’t think that the G5 lives up to the same standard as LG’s previous flagship smartphones like the LG G4 and the LG V10. For a high-end phone

The Alexa voice service has been set free from the confines of the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot and Tap devices and is now available in the Invoxia Triby. On its own, the Triby looks like a portable radio or Bluetooth speaker. It’s actually both! It has a built in carrying handle, control buttons and an

Dash cams are the type of gadget that once you setup, you hope you never need to use it. That’s because they are typically only used after you’ve had an accident or witnessed some other unusual event while driving. I like having a dash cam in my MINI Cooper because I never know when bigfoot

Earlier this year I told you about Taylor Guitar’s TaylorSense module and app combo that can be added installed into a guitar to help you monitor the instrument’s health stats. Health stats for a wooden instrument like a guitar, ukulele, mandolin, violin, etc, are usually temperature and humidity ratings. When the air is dry like

I’m a big fan of LED technology. I have replaced many of the bulbs in my home with them, as well as all my flashlights. One place I’ve not upgraded to the brighter, more energy-efficient tech has been in the outdoor lights around my home. When we were offered the chance to test the Lifestance

The iPad Pro has been off my radar, but I should probably be embarrassed to admit that I didn’t even know that the iPad Pro had a special charging connector that doesn’t require a cable. The Smart Connector is the closest Apple has come to wireless charging for a mobile device (I’m not counting the

If I’ve said once, I’ve said it a hundred times: One of the first rules in audio is to put the sound where the people are. The same goes for microphone placement. Sometimes, the microphone built in to your smartphone just won’t cut it. The iRig Mic Lav microphone kit allows daisy-chaining two lavaliere microphones
