Maybe it was the super casual “wear-the-same-thing-to-work-as-you-wear-to-bed” philosophy during the pandemic, but donning on a piece of clothing that is not as [...]
Learning how to pick locks is a lot of fun, in a challenging sort of way. To “know” how to do something is nice, but being able to “do” the thing is a [...]
Jump starter power packs have come a looong way since we first looked at the Clore JNC Air way back when. The newer power packs are small, highly portable, and extremely [...]

The last time we saw Blue Man Group (BMG), it was the late ’90s. The show blew us away with their use of percussion, inventive ways of creating sound, and how the the [...]

Recently, we noticed that the Xenon headlight on the driver side of our 23 year old Boxster was not “igniting”. It would flash when we turned the switch, but the lamp wouldn’t stay lit. Since it flashed, our thinking was that the bulb was probably fine. And as the problem was only with the left headlight, it was unlikely to be a [...]
What would you get if you threw a bike computer and a GoPro into a blender? If you are lucky you might end up with something cool like the MiniWing Camile. This [...]
