Pixy Mini – impressive power bank for its size

December 14, 2021 by Greg Gazin · Leave a Comment

When you’re going on a long trip, it’s imperative to take along all your power chargers, adapters and power banks. However, for short runs or if you have to run out of the house without fully charged gadgets, it’s nice to know you have a little extra battery power just in case. This is where the innovative Pixy Mini by Futurizta comes in. It keeps your smartphone and tablet alive, but also a number of laptops without having to lug around a plethora of chargers or taking up valuable space in your pocket, purse or backpack.

Trouble hearing voices on TV? Try ZVOX AccuVoice

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could actually decipher and properly hear the dialogue in on TV and in movies? Yes, it’s baffling. As technology advances and the advent of immersive technologies like surround sound and Dolby Atmos, to enjoy as show, we still might have to crank up the volume, which may help marginally or turn on close captioning. Sometimes we may even have to “rewind” and go back to make out what’s actually being said. Of course, adding long term exposure to noisy environments, a little too much loud music and perhaps a little aging doesn’t help the cause either.

MEATER: No more guessing to grill your meat to perfection

September 6, 2021 by Greg Gazin · Leave a Comment

Whether you’re tracking the time or simply gauging by touch, some people just have the knack for knowing exactly when their meat has been cooked to perfection. For others like me, it’s always been about constantly hovering over the hot stove or grill poking your chicken, steak or fish with a thermometer or cutting into it to make sure it’s cooked right.

Dual Sensor Waterproof Wireless Probe

MEATER by Apption Labs, a gadget and companion app is one solution that can change all that. It’s a dual-sensor thermometer probe only 130mm long and 6mm diameter you leave in your protein. It’s also fully wireless as all the electronics are embedded and should last for up to 24-hour continuous use on a single charge. It’s waterproof and rustproof and made from highly durable stainless steel with a ceramic top. It’s also dishwasher safe so it’s easy to clean.

Thermapen ONE instantly perfects your grilling

September 4, 2021 by Greg Gazin · Leave a Comment

Even after years of preparing steak, fish or even chicken, do you still find yourself having to cut into your protein to make sure it’s cooked just right or well enough? Personally, even though I’ve used a typical thermometer, I think it’s due to a combination of its inaccuracy and perhaps some of my ineptness as a grillmaster.
