REVIEW – Not too long ago the car wouldn’t start. Dreaded dead battery! Fortunately, I have an automotive battery charger and I was able to nurse the battery back to health. But is the battery still OK or on the way out? Is it something other than the battery? Before taking it in or swapping

REVIEW – When my kids were little, I carried juice boxes with me everywhere. You know what I’m talking about, right?

REVIEW – There are so many in-ear headphones (or wireless earbuds or earpods or whatever you want to call them) out on the market already and the flow of new models never seems to slow. Many of these new models are either clones of competitors or very minor tweaks to a company’s “last year’s model”,
