I was completing my review of the Lume Cube Mobile Creator Kit when I got word Lume Cube would soon release a new version. I put the review aside and waited for the Lume Cube Mobile Creator Kit 2.0 to arrive; I’m glad I waited because it is an impressive upgrade. Let’s take a look.
Hold onto your toilet seats, ladies, germs, and nonbinary friends; we’ve got a card battler coming your way! But is that really all it is? More than just a card game, Inscryption is divided into three distinct acts that will leave you wondering what on earth is happening. It’s an ambitious undertaking, but you, the reader, must be careful before proceeding through this article because there will undoubtedly be things that you may wish to experience for yourself rather than read about. I’ll give you fair warning now and before each section so you can skip ahead if you’d prefer.
Micron recently added two new solid-state drives to its lineup, the Crucial X9 Pro and X10 Pro. These drives are small, sturdy, and very fast; they are available in 1, 2, and 4TB capacities. We have the X9 Pro 2TB and X10 Pro 2 TB models for this review.
Nomad‘s steel and titanium bands for the Apple Watch are some of the most durable and elegant bands I’ve worn. Still, sometimes you want something that doesn’t simply secure your watch to your wrist but protects the smartwatch, too. The new Nomad Rugged Case for Apple Watch does just that and looks good in the process.
I recently tested out the Ausom Leopard Electric Scooter, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. This sleek and innovative electric scooter is built like a tank. It combines cutting-edge technology with a stylish design, making it an excellent choice for urban commuters, trail riders, and eco-conscious individuals. The Leopard retails for $949.99, but read on for $50 off!
MagSafe for iPhones was a game changer for wireless charging. The magic of magnets ensured that the phone and charging plate were always perfectly aligned, meaning no fumbling when laying the phone down to charge wirelessly. Then came the accessories that employed the same magnets to stay in place. But the new Speck ClickLock accessories take MagSafe to an entirely new level, and the first accessories make it clear why.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and am well-versed in the resulting aches and pains that come with it. In January, I developed significant knee pain and tried red light therapy, and while I’m not sure if that sped up my recovery, it certainly didn’t hurt. That made me curious about the DNA Vibe Jazz Band Live, which Zek has also tried; it conveniently offers red light therapy (RLT) for your aches and pains right at home.
In my opinion, Nomad makes the best cables on the market. They are rugged, available in various lengths, and transmit power and data quickly. With the announcement of the new Nomad 130W Power Adapter, they now make some of the best wall adapters too. They are fast and powerful, with three USB-C ports and up to 100W output.
It would not be surprising if many are unfamiliar with SJCam, yet the Chinese company has been making low-cost action cameras since 2011. The SJCam C300 is a recent addition to their product line, and at $159.00, it has quite a lot to offer. Those familiar with the GoPro Hero and DJI Osmo Action cameras will immediately ask how does this much-less-expensive camera compare? The quick answer is not particularly well, but considering those cameras cost three times as much, we need to examine the C300 further.
I drive a lot. My commute to and from work is around 60 miles round trip, most of it highway, and then there are the miscellaneous errands and weekend trips … I spend a lot of quality time behind the wheel. It recently occurred to me that if I’m spending that much time driving, it would be prudent for both insurance and safety purposes to use a dashcam, so when offered the Viofo A119 Mini 2 for a review, I jumped at the chance!
We recently reviewed the LiTime 100-Watt portable solar panel. The panel pairs well with the LiTime D320 Portable Power Station if you need portable power. The small power station is perfect for camping trips or power outages, keeping devices ready. Weighing in at just under 8 pounds, the D320 portable power station is highly mobile.
I recently reviewed Pitaka‘s new ChromaCarbon watch bands. Combining carbon and aramid fiber, the bands are light, solid, and colorful. The Pitaka Dreamland ChromaCarbon Bands are even more stunning. Their intricate designs, inspired by great architecture, are unlike anything we’ve seen. The $129 watch bands even come with a Rubik’s Cube of similar design. And… we are giving one away.
I just shaved my face tonight. That’s not normally a big deal for someone in their 40s, but I’m transmasculine, so growing facial hair is still a new and exciting experience. Unfortunately, wispy facial hair is only marginally acceptable on teenage boys, so I needed to learn to shave. Enter Dollar Shave Club Ultimate Shave Trial Kit!

When the pandemic forced us to close our building, I needed to get my synagogue up and running, remotely and online, as quickly as possible. Lume Cube’s products were a big part of helping us pivot from in-person services and meetings to being all online while still looking somewhat professional. Their latest product is the Lume Cube Ring Light Mini; let’s take a look.
I’ve tried countless bourbons since I turned in my scotch glass a few years ago, and the Bib & Tucker 6-Year bourbon we included in last year’s Holiday Gift Guide quickly became a favorite. The sample bottle was gone before the guide went live. Now they have released Bib & Tucker Double Char 6-Year Bourbon. It’s delicious.

We’re back with another Marvel game, howdy, howdy, howdy. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was on sale recently, and I enjoyed the original immensely, so I felt it would be good to give this game a whirl. Instead of playing as Peter Parker, however, you are playing as the newcomer Miles Morales, the hero of Harlem. While the game borrows a fair amount from the previous Spider-Man game, it does bring enough new to make the experience interesting. I beat the main story in about 8 hours; here are my thoughts.
I’ve never been one to go for colorful watch bands with graphics, but Pitaka’s new line of watch bands for Apple Watch may have changed all that. The Rhapsody version of the Pitaka Carbon Fiber Apple Watch Band offers eye-catching graphics and is made from a material that has surprised me in a good way; here’s why.
