A little over 6 months ago I reviewed the AVANTEK 20,000 mAh dual-USB port battery pack. It got high marks for having 2 USB ports, huge capacity, pocketable size, and it also came with a power brick in addition to the USB cable. And for the price of under $50, it was a steal. It

Before becoming a cop, I had a job working in a cubicle. I often found myself sneaking away to get a break from staring at those walls. Unfortunately, this was before the age of the smartphone, so sneaking away generally meant I was hiding, staring at a different set of walls, with not much else

The older I get, the more my kids must question my sanity. Whether it’s the organic diet that they just don’t see the point of, or the obsession I have with home automation, they are constantly wondering what I’m doing. Yes I eat leaves and when I speak my lights turn on…so? My daughter recently

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m a gamer. This goes from games as simple as Minecraft to modern FPS games. I’ve used a few mid-ranged gaming mice and have been pretty satisfied with them, and I thought it would be nice to try out a more budget friendly gaming mouse again to see how

I just got an iPhone 6s and I love it. Usually, I don’t bother with a case, but because I paid full price this time to avoid a new contract, I decided to change that. Also, because I carry both my phone and wallet in the front pocket of my jeans, I wanted to give

So many gadgets nowadays use a USB port. I even have an IP Camera that can be plugged in via USB! With the need for ports, comes the need for hubs. There are so many of them on the market that it’s difficult to find which one works well and which one doesn’t. I was

My fascination with pens started as a child when I discovered a box in our shed that held some very old mechanical pens and pencils from my Dad’s parents time.

Last month we turned back the hands of time 15 years to revisit my review of the Sony CLIE (PEG-S300) PDA. Do you remember the year 2000 and all the hoopla of a new century with the scare of potential Y2K computer issues. Fun times! Fifteen years ago cell phones were too large to fit

I used to carry a backpack when traveling. Everywhere.
