REVIEW – Yes, you’re right. I’ve never heard of TREBLAB either. In the age of lookalike Bluetooth speakers and unknown brands, I usually stick with the “famous names”. My son has started listening to music while working out, so I thought this might make a nice spare speaker. But first, some tire kicking! What is […]

REVIEW – I’ve enjoyed testing and writing about many smart home gadgets, home automation devices, security systems, and dozens of security cameras, over the years. One thing that I’ve always found to be a problem is that each device I’ve continued to use has required its own separate app which means you have to search

REVIEW – Back in the 60’s there was a cartoon called The Jetsons, which gave us a look into the all the conveniences of life that would come with a futuristic space age. Perhaps the best character in this show was Rosie, the family’s robotic maid and housekeeper. As a kid, I looked forward to

NEWS – I never thought my gadget-obsessed teen would get excited about an old-school portable radio. But here we are. When my son first went to sleep-away camp in the hills of Brown County, Indiana, he asked for a battery-operated radio to listen to while fishing or just chilling in his hammock after a busy

REVIEW – Have you always marched to your own beat? Are you intrigued by the idea of being a rockstar drummer, but for any of various reasons (space limitations, too-close neighbors, non-understanding spouse), setting up the skins just isn’t in the cards? AreoBand might have the answer you’re looking for with their new PocketDrum wireless

REVIEW – Let me state a couple of things right up front. First, I’ve never owned a Mac (or PC) laptop, so I’m approaching this review as a non-trackpad user. Second, when I bought my new(ish) iPad Pro 2018 model, I immediately purchased the Brydge iPad Pro keyboard that Dave Rees reviewed here. Like Dave,
NEWS – Most flashlights look pretty similar. They are round, have a power button on one end, and a bright LED on the opposite end. But not the RovyVon Angel Eyes (weird name, right?) flashlight. This one sports a cool retro sci-fi vibe that makes it look like it came straight out of the prop

REVIEW – If you take a lot of videos, a gimbal can be an amazing tool to smooth out panning motions resulting in something much more pleasant to watch (content not considered). Seems fitting then that Zhiyun’s new gimbal is called Smooth X. I was able to check out this little gem over the past
