This speaker is perfect for jamming. It is easy to carry, durable and compact.
I had it hooked up to two guitars using quarter inch jacks and even with hardly any adjustments, the sound is great. It’s a Bose, so you cannot go wrong with the sound quality. The acoustic guitar sounded crisp and the electric guitar sounded full. With the two instruments playing together, they blended in perfectly. I also tried hooking up a wireless microphone system and the sound is great. I know the vocal quality is a result of a good microphone, but the speaker output of this is so powerful, I can modulate my voice and speak softly without losing detail in my speech and song. It’s like having a big PA working for me.
Bluetooth connectivity is easy and the aux jack works well too, although I will hardly find any use for the aux plug. This is a perfect speaker for this Christmas. There will be some performances for the holiday gathering, and this Bose speaker will be a highlight—it mixes and outputs music easily, all in one solid tiny speaker form. It’s a must have if you like to perform, or even just jam with friends.

Remote monitoring? No problem.
on December 7, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
In the time of full streaming, on-demand video cameras, I didn’t think I would have a need for a still camera. But surprise, this Vosker camera fills a specific need—remote monitoring. I had it set up so I know it keeps a log of those who go in and out of our shed. It is not super remote, but the shed is way in the back where wifi and an extension cord cannot reach.
The case of the camera is sturdy and can be placed anywhere. I didn’t worry about heat, cold or moisture. The only thing I made sure is that it gets ample sunlight—and true enough, the solar power keeps the camera topped off for days. Signal is good and photo quality is decent.
The only things I dislike are—1) is the subscription. It is too expensive for the stuff it protects for me. The subscription is reasonable—it has cellular connectivity and the battery seems to last forever. But the monthly fee is a little over the top—it’s just more expensive than other cameras with full features. The camera itself is not cheap. I will understand that because of the quality and durability of the case plus the cellular signal. But an added subscription makes it more expensive. 2) customer service is okay. Do not use the chat features. They use a bot. It takes a lot of time to respond and it drops you off when you think you are in a roll. In my experience, it is a mix of bot and a person, and the hand-offs of the responses are horrible. It took me weeks to set up my camera. If you want faster service, and they are pretty good with it once you get to engage with them, is to CALL them directly. They provide the numbers anyway.
I say, do the math. If the total cost makes sense to you compared to the great remote features it has, this camera will do great.

Must have for latest devices
on November 30, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I love my new phone and my new tablet. The new high refresh rate screens and fastest mobile processors make me use them a lot. But it also means I drain my batteries a lot, even if my devices have decent battery sizes.
Good thing I have this Anker charger. It is powerful and fast, I do not have to wait too long to get my phone and tablet juiced up. For my new flip phone, it takes an hour to fill it up from 29%; while my new 10 inch tablet takes an hour to charge from 45% using this charger (this is using one charger port at a time). The chargers my devices came with, do not compare in terms of speed--- it usually takes me hours filling them up at similar levels. This charger does not heat up and it feels solid enough to do the job day in and out.
Of course, USB C gives the universality of the plug, and it keeps the charger compact enough to carry around in my laptop bag, compared to slower chargers with USB A source ports. My mobile devices just keep evolving towards better experiences at the expense of higher energy usage. I am glad I have this charger to keep up with my daily power needs.

Introducing Calming Heat Flexi Wrap by Sharper Image, the Massaging, Weighted Customizable Wrap with Therapeutic Heat. The secret is the combination of therapeutic heat with relaxing massaging vibrations and targeted weighted pressure in a flexible, form-fitting for soothing relief anywhere you need it.
Posted by: DarR

This device is ingenious! I experience leg pains near my knees every time the cold season is on. I usually would put some ointment on them to soothe the pain, but ointments and creams are yucky. Then comes this flexi wrap—it does calm the pain. It is so easy to use. I just plug wrap it around the area, and plug it in. The fabric on it is nice and soft and the buttons are a no-brainer too. It is so easy to operate that even if I use it routinely day-by-day, it is not a hassle. The heat and the massage it does is so soothing, I think this is my favorite winter device.
I recommend this for people who dislike those menthol adhesives and creams. This works for my pains caused by the cold weather. I think I’m buying my mom one.

Great printer in a digital world
on November 4, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
I know ideally I should not be printing on paper any more since everything can be digital. However, I still always find myself needing a printer. From parking permits, to physically signing docs and sending them out, to digitizing my document clutter—these are still a necessity for me.
Let me list out the basic things that HP has always been good at—installation and seamless integration with my PC. The HP Smart app has been so easy for my PC and phone. Putting it together is done step by step, guided—especially that I am new to ink tanks, it was made easy for me to set it up, without spilling! The bottle nozzle to the printer tank is well-made, I didn’t waste a drop. The usual connectivity setup is easy as well because the app has been very easy to use. Plus I have been a smart app user for years so the HP printer services has been very easy for me to use.
So the main uses for the printer are as expected of an HP printer. Clean crisp print lines, and the print looks good even on crappy paper. Print speed is decent for home office. Scanning is quick and the document feeder takes on crumpled sheets easily! So HP does what they do best.
But you know what the best thing about this printer is? I read how this HP 7301 is made from recycled materials. That is huge for me. It is bad enough that we still do business on paper— I sometimes feel guilty when I still have to print but cannot help it because business still requires it. Having the tank already makes me avoid subscribed ink cartridges. Then you have a printer that is responsibly made. It helps reduce my carbon footprint. And, speaking of footprint, given all that this one can do, it manages to be small on the desk. All the reductions done by this printer are actually pluses! This one makes me feel less guilty—it is a perfect mix of being able to comply with business needs and still be responsible and efficient.

Cleans more than what I can see
on November 4, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Smart bulbs have come so far, now it disinfects bacteria too. LIFX has been know for a while to develop. Quality light bulbs, so it wasn't difficult to trust this brand for something as plain as a smart bulb. True enough, connectivity is a breeze. Connectivity to my Google home is seamless. Responsiveness of the bulb is on point.
The bigger question is does it really clean my place? To be honest, I don't know. It's something that I cannot see, even if I have been observing the behavior for a week now. I placed it by the kitchen / dining so I can have more protection there. But you know what, like I mentioned LIFX is a trusted brand and I don't think a product like this will be released with this claim if it doesn't. What it does is it gives me peace-of-mind that it helps clean the area it is in. I live in front of a very busy street so who knows what bacteria slides into my home. But knowing I have this helps me think I have better air than those who don't. Well, nowadays, when I come home, I bring my personal items close to the bulb for a good 90 seconds before I store them.
At the end of the day, I get a high quality smart bulb. Best scenario is I have a cleaner home. I hope all my neighbors fill their homes with this too so we can have a safer living environment.

Compact form, monster sound
on October 13, 2021
Posted by: DarR
from Los Angeles CA, USA
Been really liking this Bose Soundlink speaker. It is very easy to connect with my phone. This speaker, matched with the Bose Connect app, helps link other Bose Soundlink speakers. I have yet to experience that as a feature, however, just ONE speaker in itself is ample to fill a medium sized room.
1) The build is very durable. The materials are high quality and well-put together. There are no flimsy parts and the texture feels nice to touch.
2) The volume is exceptional. For something this small, it pretty much fills up a room. Now on the louder end, the different sounds (low, mid and high) tend to fall in one plane. They do sound crowded in one space—of course, to be expected with one speaker, versus separates. But the speaker projects the sound well enough to have the different levels still sound crisp no matter the volume.
3) It is compact. I just put it in my gym bag and it is ready to go with me where I go. It is not heavy—at least the weight is just right for it to deliver quality sound.
I am sure this sounds much better synced with a couple of these. But again, just by itself, this is a winner!

Before everything else of course, connection was easy. The app, I'm not too hot about because it just adds complexity to my needs. The buds are so easy to add to my phone and once added, I put them on, it connects easily. The app maybe is just not for basic needs, more for others things like other products etc. Can do without use.
These buds have become my go-to pair. The sound is very clear and crisp. No tweaks needed and right out of the box, the sound is full. It may be because, going to my next point, the buds are very snug. The fit is just right around my ears making the buds sit well. They do come with different-sized tips so I can find the right one. Luckily, the first one was right for me. I ran with them and I did not have to worry about them falling.
Also, I'm a fan of the button press. The clicks are very helpful because I know if I've already performed a press (vs. other buds that are touch-enabled). Especially when I'm running and I need to do next song with a press, it helps a lot to feel the click.
Phone calls are good. No drops and the voice is crisp. Same on the other end of hearing it. Music wouldn't drop either. Very good distance from my phone, into the restroom, and no interruptions.
These buds are unbelievably great!

Nothing beats a straightforward and dependable blender. There’s a ton of blenders and food processors out there. I have tried a good number of them, each one with their own bells and whistles. Others have unstable base, others have too much features I never really used. But this Vitamix one makes me feel like I’m using the blender for what it’s needed. The dial (yes, only one!) is simple and perfect even when I am wearing mittens. The base is very stable and the power-- I can liquify anything I put in it with ease.
Easy to set up, install and even EASY TO CLEAN! This is a product that my mother will love. Unfortunately for her, I love it too.

Keep track of your health NOW
on September 15, 2021

from Los Angeles CA, USA
I’m only in my early 40s. Ideally, I should not need a blood pressure monitor. But after stress related irregularity in heartbeats, and some cardio checks, and maybe some horrible DNA, I was advised to keep a regular check on my blood pressure. I thought it would be a task to do so—not with this blood pressure monitor.
Gone are the days when blood pressure monitors are encased in big aluminum cans. This device makes blood pressure monitoring fast, easy and efficient. Just by itself, the device is great. I open it up, slap the device on my wrist, and in a minute, I have my blood pressure information. It is accurate, as it matches the heart data I have on my wearables. It is compact, and convenient to use.
Then comes the app. This device comes with bluetooth and I can hook it up with my phone given I download the free app. I did have some issues with bluetooth pairing and it does take some getting used to hooking it with my phone, even with the supplemental instructions that came with the device. But once I got it working, it was easy. As soon as it reads my blood pressure, and while my app is open on my phone, I press the button to activate the bluetooth and it uploads the data automatically. Like I said, the device in itself already is good, but the app gives that added functionality. I do not have to log my reads—it is all logged in the app and I can easily show it to my doctor. It can take multiple users too (up to 2) so I can share this device with my partner.
Now it seems like you have to be “sick” to have one. But in this time and age, stress is normal and being proactive with health is a norm. With the convenience of this device, it does not hurt, and is even advantageous, to have one. I have learned in time that it is tougher to cure oneself once your health has been hit badly, but the benefits of a being on top of your health is exponential. I recommend this to every middle aged person out there.
