Over the years, I’ve accumulated mountains of DVDs, especially since the arrival of the grandchildren. It gets old having to load up the DVD player with a copy of Cars or the like, every time they come over when it rains. I tried teaching them how to load the DVD player and it almost worked, except that […]

We’re already one week into November with only 54 days left in 2015. Crazy right? If the fact that this year is almost over is freaking you out as much as it is me, I have a nice stress reducer for you. It’s a list of all the reviews, news and articles that we posted
iPads and iPhones, I love them all! The only issue I have with them is the lack of external storage options for the “i” devices. I like a lot of other budget minded consumers opted for the bare bones 16 Gig model iPhone 6, so storage space on my phone is at a premium, and

I was starting to get the feeling that Google hated me. Why? Because I ordered a 64GB Nexus 6P in Frost white on the first day it was available for pre-order and I still haven’t received it while other people who ordered days and weeks later than I did, already have had their phone for days

I love the idea of a video doorbell. Being able to see and speak to your visitors even when you are not home could really be handy. So fortunately when the Gadgeteer was offered the DoorBird Video Doorbell for review, I was given the opportunity to test it. When doing so, I found that the

I have fond memories of opening a new box of Crayola Crayons on Christmas morning. Do you remember the smell and the feeling of seeing a box of pristine unbroken sharp tipped crayons with their perfect untorn labels? I enjoyed coloring images in coloring books because I was good at it. I was able to

It’s no great secret that even at the highest volume, the sound level on a phone is rather lacking. A Bluetooth or wired speaker system is a necessity if you are using your phone to stream music at home.

As a collector of all things gadget, I often find myself in need of a great backpack to help organize my devices while on the go.

Last week I posted a review of the Karas Kustoms RETRAKT pen. I really liked the pen but wished it had a better clicky mechanism. The RETRAKT isn’t the only pen made by Karas Kustoms though. They were kind enough to send me the Bolt pen to try. Is this one clicky enough for me?

I’m back with five more reviews that I’ve updated with new info. One review is a printer that I reviewed back in 2009 and have been using all this time – at least for a little while longer. I also have an update for my 2008 review of the LED Lenser P7 LED flashlight. Click
Quite a few fitness trackers have built in sleep tracking. The idea is that people want to know how well they are sleeping each night. I know that I bought into that thinking myself and have reviewed several sleep tracking gadgets over the years. But do these gadgets really help you improve your sleep? I

Here’s a great idea that is green and offers unique customization options. It’s the Paper Saver notebook. Actually, it’s a notebook cover made of faux leather in three colors. It doesn’t come with any pages of its own though. What you do is take a stack of 40 – 50 pages of A4 sized printer

If you’re like me, you are still waiting for that one smartwatch to rule them all. Being an Apple fanboy I have to admit that the Apple Watch is not that watch, and even though Pebble was the first major player, it is not there yet either. Enter BLOCKS, a modular smartwatch project on Kickstarter.
