I realize this is mostly a tech blog, but I do have a few personal categories on here, including one for Fitness. For those of you that don't know me personally, my fitness journey started a few years ago after losing my son Bryan. Last year, I decided to start doing triathlons as a way [...]
My latest fitness ambitions have been triathlons (where you swim, bike, then run for those of you that don't know). Feel free to follow me on Strava or Garmin. Over the years, I've had a few fitness posts. For the cycling portion, one of my recent purchases has been the new Garmin Edge 520 Plus [...]
Today I'll be looking at the QacQoc GN30H USB-C Hub which offers pass-through USB-C charging, 3 USB 3.0 ports, 4K HDMI, Ethernet, and SDHC/microSDHC ports in a portable package. I'll be using this adapter with a 2017 Touchbar Macbook, but it is also compatible with the HuaWei MateBook, and Google Chromebook. The QacQoc GN30H USB-C [...]

I've tried windshield mounts, dash mounts, vent mounts, etc, but I never tried a magnetic one. This magnetic phone holder comes with the mount, a couple of magnetic discs for your phone, and a [...]
Over the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to test and review the Orico H8000 Power Bank. This power bank offers an 8000mAh battery with fast 2A output charging. The battery can charge an iPhone 7 or 8 about 3 times before needing to be recharged. Weighing only 6 ounces and only 11mm thick, [...]
Over the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to test and review the OLALA S70-i Power Bank. This power bank offers a 7800mAh battery and includes a built-in lightning and micro-USB cable. I have reviewed a few other OLALA products and multiple power banks. This one is similar in design to the other OLALA [...]
The Dodocool Mini Wireless Bluetooth Speaker packs a serious punch for such a small size! While you won't get the deep sounds like you would from a larger bluetooth speaker, this mini speaker sounds good for its size and sounds better than the speakerphone on your phone. I've used it in the bathroom while showering, [...]
