Two years ago, my family moved into a new house in a new city that was very clearly intended as an upgrade for us. Most importantly, this new city had a school district in which my children had better opportunities to grow, but we also were blessed with a bigger house, a bigger yard, awesome... Continue Reading →
COBRA DRIVE HD DASH CAM WITH IRADAR
I'm not one of your typical "car guys," in fact, a nice door-to-door salesperson stopped by the other day trying to get me to buy some educational books and was trying to appeal to that side of me…needless to say, I didn't buy anything. In any case, my dad is a car guy…I've gone to... Continue Reading →
BOSE NOISE-MASKING SLEEP BUDS
My sleep is absolute garbage. This is an ongoing struggle of mine, and of many adults, and has been for the last several years of my life. Anxiety, depression, a questionable childhood, a lack of routine exercise, a lack of a balanced and healthy diet…an unfathomable things are often blamed (credited) for poor sleep, and...

BELKIN USB-C TRAVEL MULTIMEDIA DOCK/CHARGE
Totally not made for Mac….I'm just kidding. It wasn't that long ago that everyone (and I do me everyone) was complaining about Apple releasing laptops that only had USB Type-C ports. Now, if your phone, headphones, or computer DOESN'T have the latest and greatest port, it is sub par. I was an early adopter of... Continue Reading →
SONY WH-XB700 EXTRA BASS WIRELESS HEADPHONES
There are two things that are certainly true, albeit not necessarily correlated to one another, about the reviews I post. First, my most heavily reviewed item is audio--headphones, speakers, earbuds--and all consumer-grade equipment, at that. Second, Sony seems to be among the most frequently reviewed brand of products on the site. And generally speaking, I'm... Continue Reading →
BRYDGE PRO 12.9
STILL not a laptop. I recently reviewed Logitech’s Slim Folio Pro for the latest 12.9” iPad and found it to be a pleasant experience overall…but given my history with Brydge and the recent release of their latest keyboard for the newest generation of iPads, I gave in to my curiosity and decided to buy one....

JLAB JBUDS AIR SPORT WIRELESS EARBUDS
JLab Audio has been around since 2005 and is a relatively new player to the personal audio market. They (seem to) specialize in low- to mid-range (based on standards from 10+ years ago) budget audio and have a full selection of wired, wireless, on-ear, in-ear and bluetooth speaker products. I say "based on standards from... Continue Reading →
LOGITECH SLIM FOLIO PRO (for iPad Pro 12.9)
It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I’m a big, big fan of my iPad. I’ve been a die-hard iPad fan from the beginning; I’ve owned multiple and reviewed multiple, and while some people see them as an unnecessary “third device,” I find its position in the personal device space to be very...

SONY XPERIA 10 PLUS
Finally, a Sony phone I don’t have to remember if the X or the Z comes first. Sony’s history with ridiculous product names notwithstanding, their smartphones have always resonated with me in a special way. I pointed this out in my review last year of the Sony Xperia ZX2 Compact, a delightfully small phone that,... Continue Reading →
