I came across a post by someone in a Facebook group I am a part of. One more story of a girl who was sent home because her body was a "distraction." Her crime? She was wearing a t-shirt with a little bit of cleavage showing. She happened to be a more well-endowed girl, so it didn't really matter that her shirt was pretty modest. She didn't have a low scooping neckline, but a … [Read more...] about Body Shaming and #MeToo

iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 3: Bluetooth Waterproof + Shockproof 20 Watt Stereo Speaker (iBT374)
Now it is time for me to do another Bluetooth Speaker from iHome. For the record, the last time was the waterproof speaker iBT9 that I did at last year's "iHome for the Holidays". The iBT374 is different, and for a lot of good reasons. I might as well start by talking about what is similar to other speakers. The iBT374 is iP67 rated so it is waterproof and dustproof. … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 3: Bluetooth Waterproof + Shockproof 20 Watt Stereo Speaker (iBT374)
The Review of the New Jabra Elite Sport
Normally, I don't do a review of a product twice, but I believe that the Jabra Elite Sport has a new version of itself different from my last review of the product. So let us talk about it. I'll start by getting the obvious out of the way and explain that these are wireless earbuds. That means that each dinky one has a speaker inside, and they charge by putting them in … [Read more...] about The Review of the New Jabra Elite Sport
iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 2: The Bluetooth Docking Clock Radio + Triple Charging with Watch Charger (iPLWBT5)
I believe that the first time that I reviewed an iHome product, it was one of their iPod docks. This is a rather antiquated product, but the iPhone and now the Apple Watch has created the need for a new kind of dock with this Bluetooth Docking Clock Radio + Triple Charging with Watch Charger (iPLWBT5). Being an iPod/iPhone dock is not the only thing old school about this, … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 2: The Bluetooth Docking Clock Radio + Triple Charging with Watch Charger (iPLWBT5)
Our Review of the Logitech G433, a 7.1 Wired Surround Gaming Headset
It's been a while since I reviewed a Logitech product, and the last time was a pair of gaming headphones known as the G231 Prodigy. I have no idea if Logitech's G433 is some kind of deliberate follow-up to the G231 Prodigy, but they are one great set of gaming headphones. The G433 is made for simply whatever gaming that you are into, which includes the PC, Mobile phone, … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Logitech G433, a 7.1 Wired Surround Gaming Headset
iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 1: iHome FIT (iB71) Bluetooth Earbuds
So, it seems that with the holiday season coming up, this means that I will be reviewing a lot of products, and I have already started. Still, I have been reviewing products from iHome for years, and I am pleased to do so once again. I'm going to do five this week, and I am going to start with the iHome FIT, a water-resistant pair of wireless sport earbuds. I have … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 1: iHome FIT (iB71) Bluetooth Earbuds
Cherry Keyboards, Part 2: MX Board Silent
So, it is another day with a Cherry product, and I really want to make some terrible pun on how this G80-3000 MX Board Silent is the cherry on top. owever, I don't really want to do that, but I will tell you all about this. First of all, the MX Silent switches have Gold Crosspoint contact technology. Again, I clearly don't know much about keyboard technology to know what … [Read more...] about Cherry Keyboards, Part 2: MX Board Silent
Ten Questions to a Top Tech Public Relations Team, the Max Borges Agency
As most of you good readers know, I write about a lot of products on this website. It isn’t often that I talk about where I get my sources, and it isn’t often that those who help put consumer electronics products in the spotlight are put in the spotlight themselves. I am talking about Public Relations (PR) agencies that represent tech, and I want to talk about one of my … [Read more...] about Ten Questions to a Top Tech Public Relations Team, the Max Borges Agency
Cherry Keyboards, Part 1: The G80-3850 MX Brown 3.0
This is going to be some great reviews this week with Cherry, makers of some great keyboards, as well as being known for Maraschino. Just kidding on that last part, but I do like the Cherry MX-Board 3.0 USB Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown Switch. In case you are wondering about the Brown switches, this is apparently the color of the switches underneath the keys, and as far … [Read more...] about Cherry Keyboards, Part 1: The G80-3850 MX Brown 3.0
Donald Trump: The War on Christmas Starts Early
Starbucks hasn't announced their cup design and Halloween is a couple weeks away, but Donald Trump made sure to start the fires early at his speech at the Values Voter Summit today. This group, composed primarily of Evangelicals, gathers to discuss items like traditional marriage, religious liberty, sanctity of life and limited government. Trump has made sure to fuel the "us … [Read more...] about Donald Trump: The War on Christmas Starts Early
SleepPhones by AcousticSheep
The company of AcousticSheep appears to have a specialty making audio products of a different variety. One of their famous products is the SleepPhones, and the name is enough to say what they do: earbuds for those who sleep. The SleepPhones are not traditional earbuds, but they have super-thin speakers inside of a soft cozy headband. So I am not even certain if the term … [Read more...] about SleepPhones by AcousticSheep
Our Review of the BOBINE Flexible iPhone Dock
This KickStarter funded project was sent to us to review from [FUSE] chicken. This company makes a variety of charging cables, travel cables, phone docks, and stands. The product we were sent to review is called BOBINE, and is touted as "the world's most flexible iPhone dock." Unfortunately, as we don't have iPhones, and the BOBINE is designed specifically for … [Read more...] about Our Review of the BOBINE Flexible iPhone Dock
Toast Cases for the iPhone 8 and Microsoft Surface Pro 2017
By now, I have reviewed at least three Toast products in the past few years, and it stands to reason that they would put out covers for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, as well as the new Surface Pro 5 (2017). I feel very fortunate to have a chance to review both of these, as I enjoy the Toast products, made in Portland, Oregon. Toast Real Wood Cover for the iPhone 8 At … [Read more...] about Toast Cases for the iPhone 8 and Microsoft Surface Pro 2017
BSA Officially Announces Girls to be Welcomed Into the Program
Rumors have been swirling over the past few months that the Boy Scouts of America program was testing the waters to determine if families would like to allow girls into the program. Today, the Board of Directors announced that they have unanimously voted to welcome girls into the Cub Scout program, and that older girls will have the chance to earn the Eagle rank. “This … [Read more...] about BSA Officially Announces Girls to be Welcomed Into the Program
Our Review of the Olloclip Pivot
At this point in my life as a reviewer, I review an Olloclip product a year. If for some reason that you haven't heard of Olloclip, they create these photo lenses made for smartphones, particularly for the iPhone, that allow for focuses and a fish-eye lens. The Pivot is essentially a holder for one of their Olloclip lenses, and I'll start with a disclaimer saying that the … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Olloclip Pivot
