You know us – we’re all about new headphones hitting the market. Some folks like earbuds, others like over-ear; some folks want wires, and others want to cut the cord. That’s why we like seeing new stuff come out – it’s likely hitting a sweet spot for someone who just hasn’t found the right one yet. Recently, Anker came out swinging with the announcement of the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro earbuds.

Afternoon Beer Break: Rogue Colossal Claude
Look at us, back with a real world, actual beer review! It was last month that we told you about the arrival of Rogue Colossal Claude. Well, it’s on the shelves near you now (Rogue Beer Finder), and we’re here with a review after tasting the samples sent over to us.
(more…)Here’s some gear for the cold weather outdoors
Often, when it’s cold out, we just want to stay in. But we’ve also been staying in for a year now, so you might want to get out there and get some fresh air. If it’s more than a walk around the block, you might want some gear to, say, go camping. Yes, a lot of your warm weather gear will still work, but there are three items we’ve got here you might want to add in.
(more…)Now Funding: Visual Measuring Spoons
Now, I know what you’re thinking – why in the world do we need a crowdfunding campaign for measuring spoons, of all things? Well, the clever folks over at Welcome Industries has a great idea, and that’s why the campaign for Visual Measuring Spoons exists.
(more…)Now Funding: Smart Fan for Raspberry Pi
As for myself, I’ve never actually built anything with a Raspberry Pi. Frankly, it’s been years since I’ve built any computer (as a point of reference, my last build was in the days of the game City of Heroes). That said, I still understand the need for cooling – and that’s why the Smart Fan for Raspberry Pi seems like a solid idea.
(more…)Cover Reveal: Stones of Light
One of the more fun things I got involved with in 2020 (and continues on now) is Storytellers on Tour. Through it, I’ve been exposed to some great authors and stories, and have been able to tell you about them. Today, it’s a simple cover reveal – but if you recall the days of bookstores, the cover is more than half the battle.
(more…)Afternoon Beer Break: Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA
I know, I know – we normally bring you this series on Friday afternoon. Well, the website had some other ideas for us, so what better way to celebrate getting things back from the brink than sharing a cold one. In this case, a cold one that hasn’t seen shelves for many a year – the Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA.
(more…)The Biolite FirePit is back, and improved!
Hey, so you probably recall how we reviewed the Biolite Firepit back in November, right? If you tried picking one up after that writeup, you may have had trouble finding it. Well, it’s back in stock, and the Biolite FirePit has had some nice upgrades built in.
(more…)Review Update: Anker Soundcore Q30
So, if you recall in our review of the Anker Soundcore Q30 last month, I found a lot to like – and one very major dealbreaker. That was the microphone – it just produced muddy, very muted, sound for anyone listening to you. The very good news is that this has finally been corrected.
(more…)In review: Aberlite Beard Care products
I know, I know – you made good use of your quarantine – and work from home – time growing an amazing beard. Well, it’s a new year, so why not spruce up that look a bit? No, not shaving it off (as a beard owner, I wouldn’t advocate for removal), but how about some trimming, or even straightening? I spent some time with three different products from Aberlite, and can tell you how they perform.
