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.
We’ve had an old fashioned white scale on our bathroom floor for as long as I can remember. You know the kind, tap it to turn it on and wait for it to zero out. Then step on and read the number. No body fat percentage, no BMI, just your weight. I had looked at […]
I recently decided that it was time to transition from using a forty-inch TV to an actual monitor. For the most part, I wanted to move past the sixty frames per second limitation that most TV based screens are stuck with. I would have loved to picked up a 4K Predator but couldn’t justify the […]

Toaster ovens, crock-pots, and air fryers, oh-my; the counters and cabinets in our home are full of […]
I personally looked at the Quest multiple times and decided it didn’t offer enough difference from the Rift to justify purchasing it. My lovely wife got me one for Christmas. Now I understand how wrong I was.
