REVIEW – A few months back, I got to review my first electric bicycle, the Magicycle Jaguarundi. It is a folding electric bicycle. I love the bike’s power, but it did feel a bit cramped when I hopped off the seat and stood between the seat and handlebars. Since then, I have wanted to review

REVIEW – Oladance Open Ear Headphones are a different way to listen to audio. The speakers sit just over the ear canal instead of in the ear, or via bone conduction. This allows you to hear your audio but also environmental sounds as well. I’ll describe the fit, comfort, run-time, and audio quality of this

REVIEW – I own a bunch of earbuds that I have reviewed over the years. Each one purports to provide some kind of unique feature that sets them apart, and I do have my favorites that I use on a regular basis in specific situations. These OneOdio OpenRock Pro OpenEar Air Conduction Earbuds have an

REVIEW – More and more of the electronic products in our house are becoming smartified (I’m pretty sure that’s the technical term). What started as a dabbling with a couple of WiFi-controllable lights years ago has become an epidemic at our house with doorbells, lights, coffee makers, speakers, air fryers, and more available to control

REVIEW – If you’ve ever seen those test videos of Spot, the robot “dog” created by Boston Dynamics, you know how equally exciting and terrifying the idea of a robot dog actually is. It’s cute to watch Spot prance around and right itself after an annoying human tries to knock it over, but it all

REVIEW – For those digital artists who are looking to buy a pen display, it’s easy to overlook the pen tablets that started it all—those black slates with no built-in screen that lay flat on a desk. True, display tablets are wonderful—I use one every day, but I didn’t begin my career using one. That
