Shower Rocker – I-Venstar S406 Speaker Review

One of the [few] things that I miss about working at RadioShack is the endless samples of new gadgetry. Towards the end of my career at “The Shack”, we were really focused on audio, so I got new Bluetooth speakers all the time, like the SOL REPUBLIC DECK (a personal favorite), the Skullcandy Air Raid,Continue reading “Shower Rocker – I-Venstar S406 Speaker Review”

The Venstar Taco – A Bluetooth Speaker Review

I’ve used/reviewed lots of Bluetooth speakers. From the SOL REPUBLIC DECK to the Skullcandy Air Raid and the Beats Pill, I’ve seen them all. Or so I thought. When I was contacted by I-Venstar and asked if I wanted to review “The Taco“, my curiosity was piqued, and I said yes. The Venstar* Taco is…well,Continue reading “The Venstar Taco – A Bluetooth Speaker Review”

I Own Three Selfie Sticks – A Review

That’s right. I officially own three different selfie sticks. The first one I bought back in 2008 – we didn’t call them “selfie sticks” back then, it was an “extendable handheld tripod”. The second one I got two weeks ago, at SocialFresh 2015, as some hand-out swag from Cision. The third was offered heavily discountedContinue reading “I Own Three Selfie Sticks – A Review”

iClever 6-Port Fast USB Desktop Charger Review

One of the downsides of being a tech nerd is keeping all those devices charged up. Until a few months ago, I maintained a collection of power strips and USB wall adapters, which I had setup in a few places – my bedside table, my office at work, and a portable solution for traveling. FindingContinue reading “iClever 6-Port Fast USB Desktop Charger Review”

Intocircuit 2nd Gen Power Castle Portable Power Bank Review

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of portable power banks. My first one came from Proporta, and I dearly loved it. While I was working at RadioShack, I had the chance to test out at least a dozen different models there, and am known to travel with no less than two portable powerContinue reading “Intocircuit 2nd Gen Power Castle Portable Power Bank Review”

LG G Watch First Impressions

A few days ago, a coworker stopped by my desk and dropped off an LG G Watch to play with for a few weeks. It’s known around the office that I love my Pebble, but I’d also mentioned that I’d like to check out Android Wear at some point as well. Now that I’ve hadContinue reading “LG G Watch First Impressions”

Moto X – Things I Don’t Love

Now that I’ve had more time to spend with my Moto X, I’ve had a chance to discover a few things that really irk me about it. None of them are really dealbreakers for me, but they’re there, nonetheless. 1. No wireless charging – I knew this going into it, but I wasn’t sure howContinue reading “Moto X – Things I Don’t Love”

In Praise Of The Sony SBH20 Bluetooth Headset

I love listening to music. If it had it my way, I would be surrounded by music all the time. I also love ‘magic’ technology, and being wireless. I had previously been eyeing the Nokia BH-121, but could never actually find a place to purchase it, so I started looking at competitors, and found theContinue reading “In Praise Of The Sony SBH20 Bluetooth Headset”
