As usual, I was driving minding my business, and came across this disaster. This amount of damage would warrant a right off. I hope this wasn’t a hit and run! If I woke up in the morning, got my kids ready for school, brewed a come of coffee, and […]
So I’m in Far Rockaway, Queens minding my business and I happened to stumble upon this mix-match of a Cadillac Escalade. I’m pretty sure this is not how it came from the factory. Props to anyone looking to spice up their old ride. I’m curious as to how much effort […]
This has improved the quality of my recordings dramatically. If you record on a DSLR, especially an older one like I have, do yourself a favor and upgrade your sound. No external power is required. Plug-in via a mini-jack, and you’re all set. It’s a shotgun microphone with a shock […]
This site is becoming a mess. Craigslist should not allow a poster to put up the same ad 32 times. What is the point? Having the same ad posted over and over only dilutes the variety of the content. This use to be my go-to for quick, easy buys, but […]

In the bustling expanse between New Jersey and New York, where the rhythm of the city meets the serenity of the suburbs, I found a trusty companion for my daily commute—the Segway miniPRO. At first glance, it might resemble a hoverboard, but let me assure you, it’s far more than […]
I’ve owned many phones over the years and for the past 6 or 7 years. I’ve owned nothing but Android-based phones. Android has suited my purpose very well. It’s flexible and very customizable (I desire features), and I have many options. Sadly, I’ve powered down my Pixel 3 (Hidden in […]
The allure of Chromebooks is undeniable—simplicity, constant updates, affordability, and user-friendly interfaces. It’s a concept that resonates with many, including myself.

In the ever-evolving world of smartphones, the quest for the perfect device can be both exciting and daunting. After much contemplation, I recently replaced my trusty Essential Phone with the sleek and feature-packed Pixel 3 in black. However, the journey has been filled with unexpected twists and turns, leading me […]
I was just driving along when my TPM (tire pressure monitor) sensor came on. I just checked the pressure on all my tires so I was a bit puzzled. I didn’t want to take any chances potentially having to jack up my huge body-on-frame SUV in the busy cold NY […]
In the fast-paced world of technology, certain apps have become integral to our daily lives. One such app, Google Voice, has been my go-to for communication to the extent that I find myself pausing to recall my phone number. Google Voice has undergone significant updates over the years, and the […]
So, I recently decided to part ways with my cracked Note 5, and in my quest for a replacement, I stumbled upon the Essential Phone. Let me tell you, this thing is a speed demon. As I wasn’t among the first adopters, I seem to have sidestepped the issues that […]

The 2019 model year is a clear statement from Maybach, attempting to carve its own identity and distance […]
Now that Genesis is its own brand, it’s time to start showing the world what they have in store for Mercedes, Audi, and BMW. The Genesis Essentia is a nice start, with a claimed drivetrain good for 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, a luxuriously plush interior, and a minimalist design. It […]
You may have heard that Verizon decided to pull the plug on the Wear24, but let me tell you, I own one, and it’s a hidden gem. With LTE calling and an impressive battery life, it easily surpasses any smartwatch I’ve owned in the past. One day, in a bout […]
As a longtime enthusiast of Nexus phones, I’ve journeyed through the years with various models, reveling in the flexibility and the pure Android experience they offered.
