I have purchased an unbelievable amount of tech over the years, one might call it an addiction LOL. Here I will review the gear that I own and use everday. Long term relationships with things you paid money for is a different prespective than something a company loaned you.
The year 2020 has been a rough one for so many reasons. Pandemics, economic disasters, political division, and natural disasters have made it one of the darkest years in memory.

Microsoft’s Surface Go is the computer that I keep on the side table to pick up when inspiration for a new post, or the need to watch a video that is more than a few minutes long occurs. I’m writing this article from my bed on it now. I have multiple systems at my disposal […]
I have had some very disappointing experiences with true wireless earbuds. On the one hand, I love the freedom afforded by the utter lack of cables.

They combine functions like Routing, Firewall, VPN hosting, Network Load Balancing, DNS, DHCP, Intrusion Detection & Prevention, and Data Classification into a single device.

This winter, it was time to help my son find a new laptop. He needed a well balanced system that could do most everything well. He’s a student with a focus on technology, he writes code, edits graphics, produces video and music, and spends a lot of time on-line. He’s also an avid gamer that […]
