Last year when I reviewed the Polar Loop activity tracker I found it to be neither a great or horrible fitness tracker. It tracked activity, but the inactivity alerts didn’t work at all and the heart rate sensor only worked with a compatible chest strap. The Polar Loop 2 is their newly updated version which […]

When it comes to home networks, I always prefer a wired internet connection over WiFi. When you’ve got a bunch of unmarked cables hidden behind the walls, you need all the help you can get. I’m not an IT professional, but I thought I’d add the Fluke Networks LinkSprinter to my “bag of tricks” when

Well before the actual release of the Apple Watch, CalypsoCrystal added a couple of Watch accessories to their product line. Their Timeless accessories included a beautiful leather-wrapped arc of a charging stand, which I loved at first sight. Once I got my Apple Watch, I decided I needed a charging stand, and I was lucky

Smartphones are great for a variety of tasks, but for taking notes, nothing beats good old-fashioned pen and paper. Pen and paper don’t need batteries, special styluses, etc. My favorite notebooks are small pocket sized offerings from Field Notes and Moleskine. I even made my own leather pocket notebook holder from leather which I use

With a home theater, you can find yourself swimming in what seems like dozens of remotes. They are a pain to keep up with, especially when you know you can control everything with a single remote, but those universal remotes can cost a small fortune. The Pronto Smart Remote can control all your equipment without

Anyone familiar with Logitech and their products may not know that Logitech is now called Logi. The newer, design-savvy Logi has released their first product: The Blok series of iPad cases. These cases are—well, blockier with straight edges and squared corners. The 90° corners provide more absorbing protection from drops than a rounded corner will.

We remodeled our basement living room about 5 years ago and continue to decorate it with framed pictures and other items. One thing Jeanne and I could not find was the perfect clock. She wanted something unique and I wanted something more traditional and easy to see. Since we couldn’t agree on one, we’ve settled

CTA Digital has Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants inflatable cars designed for children. (Although it’s for kids, it’s sturdy enough to support up to 230 pounds.)

I always want to get the newest gadgets, but I want my husband and daughter to have them, too. That means sometimes I don’t get the exact model I want, because I’m buying three devices instead of keeping the entire budget for myself. So, I have the Apple Watch Sport with the Sport band instead

I have never had a WiFi security camera, but it has been on my list of things to try. I’ve read Julie’s review of the FLIR FX Security camera and DropCam Pro and came to the conclusion that those seem to be the security cameras to beat. When the D-link HD WiFi Camera was offered

I recently reviewed the MOS Spring Lightning Cable from Sewell, which had metal springs at the junctions between the cable and the Lightning and USB plug ends for extra strength at the most vulnerable points. I like that cable, and I’m continuing to use it with my iPad. I just saw the Titan MFi-Certified Lightning Cable,

I used to carry a pocket watch because I like being different and they are more unique than an ordinary wristwatch. No pocket watch that I’ve owned or seen featured Chillovean lighting effects like these Starling watches though. Steampunk fans will love these limited edition collectible pocket watches that were invented by Frank Cohen and
The 2-in-1 micro USB Mini Fan from Brando is a cool (see what I did there) little fan that is powered via a USB connection. What makes it unique is the fact that you can plug it into a regular sized USB port on your computer, or you can slide out the micro USB connector

My family and I live on 10 acres in Washington State and while we live about 20 miles of downtown Seattle, our place is pretty rural. Many critters and creatures live on and transit through our trees and fields all year long. This is especially true during the spring, when some years the deer are like
