REVIEW – In what seems like a lifetime ago, I intended to make photography/videography my business and not just a hobby. Real life kicked in, though, and I had to get a job that made more than $100 every few weeks taking the odd wedding pictures. My plans were lost to time until a few …

REVIEW – It seems that the smartwatch has become as much a fashion accessory as an intelligent wearable. While Samsung lags behind that other Fruit-flavored brand when it comes to accessories, recently third-party manufacturers are stepping up and filling in the gaps. Case in point: Pitaka, who entered the fray with a fashion-forward carbon fiber …

REVIEW – Seems like everyone and their brothers are making earbuds these days. From the knock-offs of the fruit-branded “pods” to specialty devices meant to pair with your favorite word processor, there is something for everyone in the space in between. The question is, why pick one over the other? That’s where Jabra hopes to …
REVIEW – The bane of any office dweller’s existence is the meeting. And whether it is because of COVID or just the geo-diverse nature of today’s business, more and more we’ve come to rely on conferencing equipment to enable clear communications. The Jabra Speak2 75 is the latest in a strong lineage of speakerphones to …

REVIEW – Three things are about to collide in this review. The first is comfort. Let’s face facts – no one deliberately decides to buy an article of clothing that will knowingly make them uncomfortable (something I say to my wife as she prepares to go out for the evening, and then ducking the heavy …

REVIEW – Even though it is the dead of winter here in the Houston area, there are still so many beautiful days in which to enjoy our (relatively) new back patio. We have a little work to do to finish (like putting in a fire table), but at the absolute top of our list was …

REVIEW – Laser engravers/cutters are everywhere these days. Seems like a lot of people discovered during COVID that making unique, personalized, and custom gifts is a great way to cut costs and even, perhaps, develop a side hustle. Like with any hobby, though, having the right tools is the difference between great gifts and owning a …

REVIEW – Back in the eighties there was a movie call American Flyers. The movie had the distinction of introducing Kevin Costner’s mustache as a costar, but for me it rekindled my love of cycling. Flash forward 40 some odd years and Father Time has been anything but kind. I still love to get out …

REVIEW – I’d ask if this had ever happened to you, but odds are very good it has. You arrive at that great vacation destination – you know, the one with the $50 per day resort fee which includes “free” wifi – only to learn that you are limited to 2 devices connected at a …
REVIEW: Like everyone else these days, you are likely preparing for your mandatory service as a podcaster or content creator. If so, you are trying to find the right entry-level mixing board and mic that will let you focus on your content and not the tedious mechanics of producing said content. Today we’ll help you …
REVIEW – If you’ve done any professional audio mixing, been a DJ or consider yourself an audiophile, you probably know just how expensive a quality set of open back monitor headphones can be. A decent entry level pair will set you back around $150 to start, and as you turn towards the pro side, north …

REVIEW: I’ve said this before (most recently here), but it bears repeating: if you are a content creator, the quality of your sound is the element that will make or break your presence. The Australian brand RØDE has been a player in the sound space for a long time, and their latest offering, the VideoMic …

REVIEW: There are few things in this world harder to find than the perfect keyboard. When you find “the one” you hold on to it with a loyalty usually reserved for dogs and cola-flavored soft drinks. For me and my desktop, that’s the Logitech G-915 wireless mechanical. I am still on the hunt for my …

REVIEW – More so than any other element (see what I did there?), the quality of the sound you produce will either make or break your content. With smartphones and action cameras, the ability to create content is in the hands of more people than ever. The mic in these devices, though, is rarely up …

REVIEW – The pursuit of the perfect desk has been at the front of my mind since the pandemic halted my work travel. I’ve tried a few different types, everything from minimalist to traditional to a dining room table. For one reason or another, each has come up short – minimalist generally equals not much …
