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

VidaDoo Review, Part 1: The Rechargeable Portable LED Work Light
I had a chance to work with Concord Keystone Trading with their VidaDoo products, and I am now reviewing...a flashlight. Okay, its official title is Portable LED Work Light, and even though most would call it a flashlight, it is so much more. This is a flashlight that you charge using the included AC Adaptor. 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

All you have to do is wave your hand … [Read more...] about Simplehuman Part 1: The Rechargeable Sensor Pump
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

Hands on with the Stanley True Laser Measure (TLM65)
With summer here, I'm sure there are a lot of people doing projects. If there are projects, you can be certain that there is measuring tapes. But who needs measuring tape if the job can be done with a laser? This is what Stanley's True Laser Measure (TLM65) is made to do, and it does it well. It has a range of 20 meters, and I don't know what that converts into non-metric … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Stanley True Laser Measure (TLM65)
LUNA mini from Foreo
I must admit that this product really isn't for me, because I don't really care about my skin. Don't get me wrong, I probably do things to protect my own skin, but I'm not the type that use things on my skin to give it a healthy-looking glow. A company known as Foreo has the LUNA mini. This is an interesting skin cleanser that uses the power of technology (reread sentence … [Read more...] about LUNA mini from Foreo
Drift Light Smart Bulb helps one to sleep
When it comes to the light bulb, the tech hasn't really changed since the days of Thomas Alva Edison. The Drift Light from Saffron certainly changes that, and the tech isn't really complicated. I have seen some "smart" light bulbs that you can control with a smartphone, but these can be pretty costly and are good for dimming, which the Drift Light will do for you at a … [Read more...] about Drift Light Smart Bulb helps one to sleep
SkyBell let’s your smartphone see who is at the door
The SkyBell is a product that is very similar to the Swann Doorphone Video Intercom that I review a few weeks ago. The Doorphone Video Intercom had a camera that was activated by the push of a doorbell button, and it was wirelessly connected to a monitor. The difference the SkyBell is a video doorbell that connects to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. The doorbell unit has a … [Read more...] about SkyBell let’s your smartphone see who is at the door
Dacor has a smart Range as well as an oven
Last year, I saw a company named Dacor at CES, and I greatly admired their Android connected 30" Stove. Hopefully I will one day be able to afford one in my own household. I guess it stands to reason that this same company would come out with a range for that oven, which is what the Discovery iQ 48-inch Dual-Fuel Range. It is the first range to feature an integrated, … [Read more...] about Dacor has a smart Range as well as an oven
Singing Machine at CES 2014
I will readily admit that I am not a Karaoke connoisseur, but the Singing Machine could easily make me into one. Who knows? After a few years of singing on this, maybe my voice will be worth something. What you see here is the Singing Machine Home, and it is a speaker the can connect to any Bluetooth enabled device. It can then plug into the TV via HDMI plug and then … [Read more...] about Singing Machine at CES 2014
