A few weeks ago I asked everyone on the Gadgeteer team to make me a list of their favorite products from this past year. I told them that the items that they picked didn’t need to be restricted to only gadgets that they had reviewed in 2016, but that they could include any items that

One of the best parts of being a father is being able to play with toys with my children. Despite my age, I’m still a child at heart; I have roughly the same maturity level and attention span as my children. I often find myself having just as much fun with my children’s toys as they

I have been a huge fan of the mini tablet form factor. I have used one since the original Nexus 7 came out in 2012 and it is one of the small handful of gadgets I literally use every day. It is light enough to hold in bed at night no matter which way you

Have you ever done the “does this smell funny” dance when you’re preparing to fix dinner? What’s that you ask? It’s when you take a package of raw meat from the fridge, open it and sniff it. But instead of smelling nothing which means it’s fresh and ready to cook, you smell “something”. At that
CROSS is currently running a promotion called My Long Story Short… Where people tell their story of a significant moment in their life or message for someone special boiled down and captured in a few meaningful words.

With so many power-hungry gadgets out there, small, portable power supply devices are all the rage. Sometimes I wish I had something that I could just strap on and have at the ready to power my GoPro or top off my iPhone or my DSLR. The GO PUCK folks must have been inside my head because their

Why is it that a lot of monitors have crummy stands that are barely useable. Case in point, the stand on the LG 21:9 UltraWide IPS LED monitor (29EA73) that I reviewed 2.5 years ago. Great monitor, not so great stand. It that only allows for the screen to pivot forwards and backward, but does not

In midst of my last headphone review, I upgraded to the iPhone 7, which removed the 3.5 mm port.

Go ahead, tell me you don’t wish—on a daily basis—that you had an on-hand way to translate Aurabesh (the Star Wars alphabet) into English. No? Well, I do. OK, maybe I don’t. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want one of these super-cool translator rings from Retroworks. In addition to the Aurabesh-to-English one shown above,
We’ve reviewed quite a few smartwatches including ones from Martian (see related links at the end of this post), but this is the first smartwatch that I’ve heard of that has Amazon Alexa cloud-based voice service built-in.

It’s December, so that means that it’s starting to get cold here in Southern Indiana. When the temperature dips to the low 40’s and 30’s (F), it means that it’s time for me to pull out my gloves.

Two years ago, I was sent the Antennas Direct ClearStream Eclipse HDTV Amplified Indoor Antenna (35 mile range) to review. It worked well in my living room where it still resides, but I did struggle to get it to tune in all our channels in the den. The Gadgeteer was contacted by Antennas Direct about

Back in July, I posted a review of the Ring Smart Video Doorbell, a battery powered wireless doorbell with a built-in camera and two-way audio.
