REVIEW – I have something of an almost diagnosable mania for luggage and backpacks. I guess it’s because I feel like the right travelling gear can really make or break your travel days. When Kabuto offered up a premium carry-on to review right before my family vacation, I was all over it! What is it? […]

REVIEW – I recently reviewed an air purifier from Proscenic, one designed to handle up to 1,000 square feet of space. It’s a good purifier and the right size for our house, but I’d like to find one that’s smaller, one that would work well in an apartment. I had previously tested a pair of

REVIEW – Content creators are everywhere these days. Photos are great, but video still rules for compelling content. Nothing destroys a clip more quickly than jerky video. It can make the content borderline unwatchable. Zhiyun has released their new Zhiyun Smooth Q3 smartphone gimbal. Let’s check it out and see if this can smooth the

NEWS – In our house, we hang our keys on metal hooks attached to a wooden base that hangs on the wall. It’s traditional and practical.

NEWS – From the why-would-anyone-pay-this-much-for-something-like-this-but-give-it-to-me-now file comes the TM2. What is it?

REVIEW – I used to daydream about creating the perfect gear bag. In those dreams, I wanted a bag that could transform from small to big depending on what I needed to carry with me. Big for travel, slim for day-to-day work commutes. I approached a couple of popular bag makers to see if they

REVIEW – The original Rubik’s Cube was launched in 1980. I was 9 and it was the toy to have. I got pretty good at solving one side with all of the top layer in order but that was the extent of it. I always wanted to be able to solve one, but never took
