What you do is plug it into your wall and plug your hopefully … [Read more...] about Leviton Part 1: Decora Smart Plug-In Dimmer with Z-Wave Technology

iHome for the Holidays, Part 1: Vanity Speaker or iHome iCVBT5
Ah, yes, there is nothing like iHome for the Holidays. I have reviewed many iHome products many a time. So many times, that I just don't feel like putting in hyperlinks. I'm going to close out this week with three different iHome products, and I'm going to start with the most unusual: the iHome Vanity Speaker or iCVBT5. The iCVBT5 is essentially made to be that one … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays, Part 1: Vanity Speaker or iHome iCVBT5

D-Link AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router Review
Okay, I have reviewed a lot of routers in the past, and I'm starting to get used to setting them up. It is something that I never look forward to, because it is never fun to set up stuff when it can screw up that which you know works. Still, if you can make something work better, it is worth the time to do it. Such is the case for the AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router, and it … [Read more...] about D-Link AC3150 Ultra Wi-Fi Router Review
Black and Decker Electric 3-in-1 Compact Mower
Okay, so all of you probably have lawns, and all of you have to mow them, and if you are like me, then you have some edge that is impossible to mow. This is why I was so glad that Black and Decker sent me that toolkit as well as this 6.5 Amp 12-inch Electric 3-in-1 Compact Mower.

Kolibree Can Claim It Is The Smartest and Most Elegant Toothbrush
I think that that best term that I can use to describe the Kolibree toothbrush is "gamification". That is, that if there is a way to do something, someone has to make a way to put points on it so you can keep doing this. I suppose that one of the most mundane things in the world is brushing your teeth, so why not have a method of making you do something. The Kolibree allows … [Read more...] about Kolibree Can Claim It Is The Smartest and Most Elegant Toothbrush
