At CES 2016, my wife and I had a great time trying out gadgets, and we were grateful to discover that Keurig was willing to send a Keurig KOLD Drinkmaker to us for testing out for this article. I will have to say that we our reviews of it are…mixed. I will explain that it is more than just a pun. In case you can’t tell by the name, The Keurig KOLD Drinkmaker is made to … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Keurig Kold Drinkmaker

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

I think that we are all into "The Internet of Things", and I heard that Samsung is devoting a lot of time at IFA 2015. This FOODsniffer is something that every cook needs, and possibly every household. The issue is meat, and it is difficult to tell when it has gone bad until it's too late.

There is a YouTube users known as styropyro who has created some interesting laser creations, including a lightsaber.

PLAYBULB Candle by MiPOW
My first post on The Geek Church, and it will be a review of a product Mark found at CES. This is the PLAYBULB Candle. It's a nifty little device that can be controlled by an app on Apple or Android devices. After downloading the app, I found the set-up to be a bit clunky. I got the device to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, and there is a tutorial at the beginning, … [Read more...] about PLAYBULB Candle by MiPOW
My review of the eTAPE 16
While I was at CES 2015, I had a cool chance to see many great gadgets, including the eTAPE 16. I am not certain if I have ever seen a technological tape measure before, but I would like to see more advances in it. It has a Large Digital Display on top, which means that you don't even have to look at the tape to get your measurement. So what good is that? Well, you can … [Read more...] about My review of the eTAPE 16

Carrier is one of those industries that is known for high technology heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning solutions.

The only reason why I am reporting … [Read more...] about Cor Smart Thermostat gives a new age of Modern Air Conditioning
Threadsmith Hydrophobic Nanotechnology works
This weekend, I decided to test an item that I received with the Threadsmith's Plain White Tee. I tested it out in the shower and made a video of it. Don't worry, it is SFW, and I didn't make a video in the shower with a Plain White Tee so I could sing "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's. Okay, I first did a video in the shower staining a normal shirt. Yes, the … [Read more...] about Threadsmith Hydrophobic Nanotechnology works
The Philips Norelco Click&Style
It isn't often that I get to review electronic razors, but I did leap at the chance to review the Philips Norelco Click&Style, and I believe that it is just one word. I suppose that the biggest feature of the Click&Style is the fact that you can just quickly click on and off the razor, beard trimmer, or bodygroom. Since this is a product made for men, then you know how … [Read more...] about The Philips Norelco Click&Style

It has a work-light on the side and then a flashlight on the … [Read more...] about VidaDoo Review, Part 1: The Rechargeable Portable LED Work Light
Simplehuman Part 2: The Sensor Mirror
Now that I wrote about the Rechargeable Sensor Pump yesterday, I figure that I can cover another home accessory from Simplehuman, the Sensor Mirror. The Sensor Mirror is made of stainless steel, and it feels at home in any type of room. In front of the mirror is a sensor that will turn the ring of light on if you step in front of it, and yet somehow knows when to shut … [Read more...] about Simplehuman Part 2: The Sensor Mirror

iSwimband is a way to keep kids safe from drowning
Much of the time when I report on a gadget, it is because I encountered a situation where I needed it. For example, I was at the pool the other day with my kids, and since I have three, I have to keep track of them off and on. My third kid was playing in the shallow end, and I wanted to check in on him to make certain he wasn't getting in any trouble. If I had the … [Read more...] about iSwimband is a way to keep kids safe from drowning
