REVIEW – We don’t get too many natural disasters where I live, but occasionally we do get a small tornado or the remnants of a hurricane. The extra wind and rain has been known to knock out the power for a couple days, which could ruin the meat stored in our freezer and maybe leave […]

REVIEW – I make no secret of being a massive fan of Nomad’s Apple accessories. The company recently sent me a few iPhone 15 Series Cases and Screen Protector samples to try out. What is it? The Nomad Sport Case is a thoughtfully designed iPhone case featuring grippy bumpers and a high gloss finish. The

REVIEW – Of all the portable Bluetooth speakers I’ve reviewed, Tribit is the brand that supplies my daily driver speakers, so to speak. Their StormBox line of water resistant speakers sound way better than the price would indicate. In fact, the StormBox Micro 2 is my favorite “take anywhere” speaker—period. I use one in the

REVIEW – Between disc golf and other outdoor activities, I tend to wear shoes out pretty quickly, so I was looking for some more durable but also classic-looking boots to replace my current pair. My younger brother mentioned Helm to me since he’s had a pair for a while that he really likes so I

REVIEW – I’ve been using the Vivint smart home security system for over three years now and have nothing but good things to say about this combination smart home/security system. It’s alerted me to a hot water heater leak in my basement that could have resulted in a BIG mess had I not had water

REVIEW – If you maintain a home, taming the onslaught of renegade flora can be challenging. Sometimes a full-size chainsaw is dramatic overkill. Having the right tools for the job makes all the difference. Make your pruning and trimming needs easy with Alloyman’s CS-BM11 Mini Cordless Chainsaw! What is it? The Alloyman CS-BM11 is a
REVIEW – Over the past year, I have tested and reviewed a couple of water filter systems, all with reasonably good results. As my family continues to use them, they have become our source of water and all but eliminated our need to buy bottled water. As a result, I have kept a lookout for

REVIEW – I had high hopes, but the Blackview Tab 70 Wifi Android tablet frankly needs work. Read on to see my trials and travails and maybe at this price point you could still find a use for one. What is it? The Blackview Tab 70 Wifi is a 10” tablet computer with an OS
Blackview Tab 70 Android tablet review – Great price via compromise Read More
REVIEW – I reviewed the SOUNDBOKS (Gen 3) speaker a little over two years ago. Nothing—and I mean nothing—has approached this speaker in volume. It can put out more raw decibels than a rock concert. It’s 30 times louder than a lawn mower! I could go on, but let’s just say it’s L.O.U.D. Well, SOUNDBOKS
SOUNDBOKS 4 Speaker review – still ridiculously loud, but way more refined Read More
REVIEW – Mini PCs are an interesting product to me, someone who has pretty much exclusively used gaming laptops or self-built gaming PCs for nearly 2 decades now. One of the other mini-PCs I recently reviewed (the excellent Geekom AS6) is now serving as our Plex media server, and doing a great job at it.
