It has been a good long while since I have reviewed a decent J5Create product, and I am not certain how to describe what it is that they make. Generally, their products are accessories for your computer designed to link one thing to another, and these first two products are a demonstration of that. J5Create JDA159 Mini DisplayPort to 4K HDMI Adapter The JDA159 is a Mini … [Read more...] about J5Create Part 1: JDA159 Mini DisplayPort to 4K HDMI Adapter and JUC500 USB 3.0 Wormhole Switch

iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 5: Bluetooth Splash Speaker (iBT77)
Well, today is my last review of an iHome product, unless I can somehow get more before year's end. This time, it is another Bluetooth speaker with the iBT77. Of course, this Bluetooth speaker is a bit different than the last time with the iBT374. This one may not have that color accent, but it is a water resistant with an iP65 rating. I'm not certain how to describe the … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 5: Bluetooth Splash Speaker (iBT77)
M-EDGE PackLight, Tech Sackpack with Battery, and 8000 mAh Power Bank
I always like reviewing M-EDGE products, and I was very pleased that I had the chance to review three of them for this particular article. I seem to have a them of chargers, and I am reviewing the Packlight, Tech Sackpack with Battery, and the 8000 mAh Power Bank. M-EDGE Packlight The PackLight is a very interesting gadget as it is a mobile 3200 mAh battery. The thing … [Read more...] about M-EDGE PackLight, Tech Sackpack with Battery, and 8000 mAh Power Bank
iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 4: Bedside Stereo Speaker System for Amazon Echo Dot (iAVS1)
It is very funny that I am writing about iHome's Beside Stereo Speaker System for Amazon Echo Dot (also known as "Spot for the Dot" or iAVS1). I have recently discovered a show known as Mr. Robot, and in the second season, there is not only a huge twist but a character who converses with Alexa. I have to admit, that I haven't had the chance to review Amazon's Alexa device … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays 2017, Part 4: Bedside Stereo Speaker System for Amazon Echo Dot (iAVS1)
Our Review of the Matias Wireless Aluminum Keyboard with Backlight
Last year, I had the opportunity to review the wireless Matias Aluminum keyboard. I suppose that it only seems justified that I review the Wireless Aluminum Keyboard with Backlight. If you recall from that review, I said that the basic design was essentially an Apple keyboard. I said that I said that I was having trouble attaching it to my PC, and said that I would put … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Matias Wireless Aluminum Keyboard with Backlight
Body Shaming and #MeToo
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
