Insightful reviews for products, technology, entertainment, and more.
In 2014 we live in the world of instant. Fast food, fast internet, and even instant banking. We like things fast and efficient in our daily lives.

Guess what?… January Loot Crate Unboxing It’s HERE! I found January’s Loot Crate sitting on my desk this afternoon, in all of its black cardboard glory. This month’s theme is “Launch”. Why?

This post brought to you by AeroLife™ . All opinions are 100% mine. When I first received my review samples from Aerolife, I was a little skeptical.

Tesla and Edison have been at odds long after their death, but instead of dwelling on their well-known hatred of one another, let’s imagine how they would react to modern day inventions!

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of reviewing the SteelSeries Apex [RAW] gaming keyboard. In that review, I also touched on the better, more awesome older sibling of the [Raw]: the SteelSeries Apex. You can only imagine my glee when a big SteelSeries box came across my desk recently.

Because of this, an entire anti-hand-sweat industry has sprung up,…
