Great Package for Photography Lovers
on February 11, 2018
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
The Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plans are a great, all-in-one solution for both amateur and professional photographers. There's 3 different tiers, and this particular one was a sweet spot right in the middle.
At a cost of $10 a month, this will run you $120 a year. Given how Adobe pricing model works, this is cheaper if you want to always have the latest and greatest updates to your apps with the benefit of some additional cloud storage thrown in.
This package contains Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic. LR-Classic is a standalone product that you can continue to enjoy should you chose not to renew your subscription. This package also comes with 20GB of cloud storage, which when using RAW images isn't really a lot, but it's nice to be able to pick up and continue editing an image on my iPad.
The next level up costs $10 more a month, which brings the annual total to $240, and that comes with the same 3 apps, plus 1TB of cloud storage instead of the 20GB at the $10 a month tier.
I liked this package because of all the features I got to try out. I think I'll pony up for the 1TB plan next year when my subscription is up so I can do more RAW editing on the go.
If you're an amateur photographer who's ready to get serious or even a professional, I think this package is the right combination of products, features, and benefits.

Great Beats Alternative
on January 28, 2018
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
My wife and I have been looking for some headphones that we could use at the gym and at home, watching Netflix on the iPad. She'd been looking at some Beats headphones, but there was a serious amount of sticker shock that goes there. I have a pair of Plantronics Backbeat 305's that I love using for the gym or for a run. So when I saw that they made a 505 version, I picked them up!
I was pleased that the 505's do a great job producing great sound. I was able to identify treble, mids and bass notes while listening to music and they did a great job streaming movies and TV shows on our iPad. I also connected them to our Apple TV, so now my wife can watch her shows on the TV in the bedroom and I can play Doom on my Switch - everyone wins!
The 505's state that they can run for unto 18 hours of wireless audio at moderate levels. We've used them several nights in a row and they still report a high battery. Alternatively, when we're watching TV on the iPad, we sometimes use the wired connection to save battery life.
I also used them at the gym. They stayed pretty still during my workout, but there were some times they shifted. I ended up taking them off and going back to my 305's since they have a clip that connects them to my shirt. I also took the 505's for a run and was pleased that they offered decent sound and sweat resistant. Which is nice, because I sweat a lot when I run.
Although they don't last as long as Beats do on a charge, I found the 505's to be a great set of wireless headphones. I was impressed by Plantronics' work on the 305 and am more impressed now with the 505's. If you're looking for a solid wireless headset that doesn't break the bank (or have the Apple tax) then you should check out the 505's.
They have a great, sturdy feel and I also like that they came with their own carrying pouch and the earphones rotate so they can lay flat which makes packing them in a suticase or backpack a breeze.

Convection Counter Oven
on December 27, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
My wife has a ride or die relationship with her toaster ovens. We use them for literally 9/10 things we make for our kids for dinner: fish sticks, chicken nuggets, meatballs, pizza, you name it.
When my wife and I saw this, she was really interested in looking at convection technology again. We had a full size convection oven when the technology came out and it never really cooked the food right. Since that was almost 10 years ago, we were good to try it again.
We made the mistake that I think most people will make - you think this will fit by looking at it in the store or online. We didn't measure, we eye-balled it. Since it's a convection oven, this thing takes up more space than our old B&D one that we had - we also should've brought my wife's favorite pan to see if it fit... it didn't, the pan was literally about 1/4" too wide. Thankfully, it comes with a pizza pan, so that solved about 99% of our use case right there!
So poor measuring and planning aside, when we fired this thing up, we were impressed to see all the options it has to offer! It makes cooking the bacon on a Saturday morning a cinch! I've also mastered the art of cooking my 4-year old daughter's favorite meal: cheese toast.
There's a ton more options in what kind of food you want to cook, how many portions or servings you're preparing and then how long you want it to cook / hoe high you want the temp. We've been using it pretty much daily since we got it, and we still haven't tried all the settings yet.
Another cool addition was that it comes with some sample recipes and some tips for using convection ovens if you're new to them. I knew my wife was happy enough with it when I saw our old toaster oven in the trash bin the other night - guess she's happy enough to keep it!
If you're looking for a toaster oven with a ton of features, then check this out!

Intelligently Beautiful Flushmount Fixture
on December 10, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
My experience with Philips Hue lights are usually - "Why didn't I do this sooner?!"
We have several Hue lights in our house and we've gradually been updating fixtures and elements in our house to make it more updated. In our front of our house where my office is, we had an ugly builder-grade light that used 1 regular bulb. When we were looking at fixtures to replace it, I thought about Hue since you can program them for different scenes.
This fixture is beautiful, simple and clean in it's design. Installing was a pain though - that's why the 4 star rating. I hate installing lighting in general, but the Hue flushmount light required my wife's help to hold the fixture steady so I could connect the wires. The installation guide is basic and simple, but I could see someone who doesn't do fixture upgrades in their house getting stumped and asking for help or installation.
The other reason for this 4 star review is the fact that it didn't come with any wire connectors. The screw taps you use to connect the wires in your house to fixtures. Even basic $20 fixtures come with those - so I had to go to Lowes and get one since this fixture requires 2 ground wires be connected to the fixture as well instead of the ground wire connecting to the mounting fixture. Once we got it installed, adding it to my existing Hue setup was a breeze. We started playing around with the different lighting scenes.
There's a variety of intensity and temperature settings from bright, cool light to a dim warm light. We settled on Concentration at 50% - and we realized how much more yellow all the other lights in our house were. So I'm not sure if my wife will let me keep that setting on. She's already asked me to program other scenes so that it'll update based on time of day.
I love this thing and I wouldn't mind replacing other flushmount / semi-flushmounts with ones like this... but I might have someone install them for me since I had enough fun with the first installation.

Good Running Watch - but that's it
on December 10, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
I've been struggling with the battery life of my smartwatch since I use it for workouts. Since I like to go for a 5k jog or walk at least 2 times a week, I thought that I should try out a watch dedicated for running.
I took the ProSense 17 with me on a few treks and honestly, the battery life didn't impress me compared to my other smartwatch. The information on the exercise was comparable, Epson said I actually went a little further than I did - but I learned it's because when I'd jog in place at an intersection, I was getting credit for steps.
An odd feature is the battery connector that Epson uses, it's a literal clip and you have to position the clip on the watch's face and underbelly perfectly, otherwise it won't charge. It's not as easy or intuitive as other charging setups I've seen.
The main problem I have with this watch is that I always found myself comparing it to my smartwatch in terms of what it could do and couldn't. Admittedly, that's not fair - but with wearables that can do so much more than track a run or play music, I think that this watch won't have a long shelf life.

JBL + Google Assistant FTW
on December 10, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
The market for smart speakers that control home automation or do other tricks is growing and becoming more saturated. While the Home is a competent device, I never warmed to it from a sound perspective. I loved the power of Google Assistant, but in the Home, it was hampered by a speaker setup that wasn't as good as competitors.
Enter the JBL LINK 300... this bad boy is designed more like the new Home Max. It supports Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity, but don't go thinking you can Aux in - the LINK 300 only supports Wifi for streaming / Assistant requests and Bluetooth for streaming / casting.
Compared to the Home, Echo, etc - this thing is a beast. It's big. There's other smaller speakers in the LINK family that I'm sure offer battery life - but the LINK 300 requires a plug in all the time, just like a Home or Echo.
I've found the responsiveness of the voice recognition to be very good. I've been at the other end of the room and simply saying, "OK Google" and this thing hears me.
Set up is handled just like other Google smart devices, using the Google Home App. It was pretty easy to add it to my existing Google device setup.
If you're an avid user of Google's products, then the JBL LINK 300 is a great speaker. If you're an iPhone user, be prepared to be using the Bluetooth functionality a lot. Compared to the other Google products, the reason I like the LINK 300 better is that it's JBL - a company that has been in the business of making speakers for years.
The reason for the 4-star rating is the lack of Aux input, battery option and the overall clunky setup of adding smart home devices to my Google setup - I know this is more of a ding on Google, but since JBL is partnering with Google, they take the hit too.

Expensive - but powerful
on December 5, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
I rely very heavily on my wife's opinion when it comes to what small kitchen appliances we have in our house. When she said she wanted a new Blendtec Blender, she did caution me about sticker shock. Thankfully I was prepared to see the $450 price point for this particular beast.
The design of the blender is simple, elegant and minimalistic. There's no console or blending station set up, just a base and the blender cup. One flaw in the design is how to clean it - the cup states it's dishwasher safe in the top rack, but I don't know of a dishwasher that has a top rack tall enough to accomodate this. Our Bosch dishwasher certainly doesn't.
My wife informed me about how Blendtecs are basically the powerhouses of the blender world and she was right. This thing took everything we threw at it!
Ice - it blended that fine. Cake batter - did that too. Smoothies - no problem!
That being said, this thing is $450 - that's an insane leap from the other blender that we were replacing. I'm happy to learn that Blendtec are rated as very reliable and have a reputation for lasting for a very long time. Since we wore out our old blender, I'm hoping that the cost-per-use on this will help me feel better over time.
The pictures we posted were of before we started blending, because my wife informed me that Blendtecs are strong enough to shred electronics. Sorry, wasn't going to let my new iPhone X near that thing while it's on!
This thing is loud too - but then again, what blender isn't? If you're a serious baker, cooker, etc - then you might want to look at the Blendtec. It's a beast. If you’re not into serious cooking though, you’d have to weigh the idea of paying nearly as much for a blender as you do for an iPad. If you’re a budget conscious shopper, then this isn’t the blender for you.

Acrobat on the Go - At a Cost
on December 3, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
I love the Adobe Acrobat products. I've used them for years to create training content, interactive forms, etc. I was a little hesitant to try out Acrobat DC though. In fact, the only reason I rated it 4 stars was due to Adobe's new subscription pricing model they've adopted with their apps. I guess I'm a dinosaur, but I like the idea of buying the software once - versus the idea of leasing it in order to have the most recent version.
But here's the thing - Acrobat Pro 2017 costs you $450 to buy outright. At it's best, Acrobat DC costs you $180 a year. That means that you have 2 and a half years before DC starts costing you more than buying a standalone license. But by then, we'll be on Acrobat 2020 or something. Keep in mind that Acrobat 2017 is intact DC but purchased for a one-time fee versus a subscription. This can be a bit misleading since Adobe’s site compares it to Acrobat Pro XI.
Here’s the current cancellation policy per Adobe’s site:

My gripes about pricing aside, I have to say that I love the features that DC provides! In my office, we've started to make the transition from laptops to iPads and other tablets. Acrobat DC has the handy bonus of working on my Mac and my iPad with virtually the same functionality.
DC also differentiates itself from previous versions by allowing integration with cloud services, such as OneDrive - which we use at work. This is nice because it allows for faster working with documents stored in the cloud versus having them on my desktop or other local folder.
I’ve got Acrobat running on my iPad and my iPhone and it’s very cool to use some of the newer features, like tracking of PDFs and e-Signing of documents. We are in the process of moving from our reliance on paper signatures to soft copies and Acrobat DC is a key component of that strategy.
DC also works as a comfortable companion to other Creative Cloud Apps - such as InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. You can take items you create in InDesign and effortlessly move them into PDF versions. As a Mac user, I also appreciate the added support for Office 2016. It’s nice to have access to quickly PDF a document from Word’s ribbon instead of going through the ‘Save As’ route.
If you are a small business owner who deals with documents on the go, then Acrobat DC is a must-have for you. If you can pay for it outright, then the Pro 2017 version might be a better choice, but keep in mind that DC will cost you less unless you use the software for more than 2 and a half years. Do some break even comparisons in your shopping before clicking buy now.

Worth the Upgrade
on November 19, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
I loved the features in Photoshop Elements 15 - it was a nice step between full-on Photoshop which is overkill for home use and Photos in macOS. But Adobe was still shipping Elements 15 even last year, so it was about time that we got an update. The update is well worth it for all the cool features they added in Elements 2018.
One thing that I appreciate about using Adobe products is that the general look and feel of the interface is consistent. If you know how to use one Adobe product, you can usually pick up a new one without too much of a learning curve. They really nailed that part of a user experience.
I was happy to see that Elements 2018 had a familiar interface to Elements 15. They really added some cool image adjustment features in the Guided mode. You can add an overlay effect, watercolor effect and double exposure to adjust the images. We found a really cool picture of my daughters that we used the watercolor effect on. They've also added the ability to replace a background in the Guided mode in Elements 2018 as well.
One of the oddest features that we actually tried to use and got a lot of laughs out of was the Closed Eye Fix. This wasn't something that was part of Elements 15. Needless to say, it's real only use is for fixing images taken in the same place and light where someone closed their eyes. We tried some random ones and the results were at turns freaky and comical.
If you haven't taken the plunge into the Elements line, you really should check out Elements 18. I liked Elements 15 and I was really happy with the upgrade in 2018.

Arlo Pro - Upgraded
on November 13, 2017
Posted by: cjviscito
from Little Elm, TX, USA
We're very satisfied Arlo Pro Gen 1 users. The 2 camera setup covers the majority of our single story house from front door to rear. The Arlo Pro G1 is a great camera, so when I read that G2 could also be used with the same setup and had some upgrades I thought this was the perfect way to upgrade our Arlo setup.
For starters, the cameras are about the same size of the Arlo Pro G1's. This setup also includes the base station. I couldn't tell any difference between the G1 and G2 base stations, but I was able to tell the difference between the cameras. For those that don't know, one of the biggest selling points for Arlo Pro's is that they're wireless - you can mount them wherever you need them to be.
The Arlo Pro G2 supports a full 1080p recording option which is an upgrade from the 720p in G1. Granted, it's not like I'm streaming video of my cats while I'm gone looking for the best HD quality, but in the vent of break-in or accident, clarity matters. The Pro G2's 1080p definition is evident from the video streams, but don't expect big screen HD quality.
The Also Pro G2 has several upgrades, aside from the recording resolution, from the G1 that make it really handy. First, the Arlo Pro G2 supports continuous recording if you plug the camera in to power instead of running on battery. This is especially helpful if you want to have one camera always on. Second, the Arlo Pro G2 supports activity zones while plugged in while the G1 doesn't.
Some of the cool features that the G2 shares with the G1 are:
* 7-day cloud recording history free
* Wireless camera option
* 130 degree field of vision
* Night vision mode
* Motion / Audio alerts
* Base station audio alarm option
* Alexa compatible (No Apple HomeKit support)
* 7-day cloud recording history free
* Wireless camera option
* 130 degree field of vision
* Night vision mode
* Motion / Audio alerts
* Base station audio alarm option
* Alexa compatible (No Apple HomeKit support)
If you're thinking about a great option for home security video that provides the flexibility to be wire-free or wired, 1080p HD recording and the ability to integrate with Arlo Pro G1 setup, then the Arlo Pro G2 is something that should be on your shopping list!

Shark AI Robot VACMOP combines powerful vacuum suction and hard floor wet mopping for a complete clean, all in one robot. Features include: Shark suction power, Sonic Mopping that delivers 100 scrubs per minute for stuck-on stains, and AI Laser Navigation for precision cleaning.
"We would like to let you know that this Robot also works to vacuum carpets." This is the response that I got when I asked "Does it work on carpet?" Sounds to me that it doesn't work on carpet but they want you to buy it anyway.
The beater bar on this doesn't look like it's meant to get into the fibers of the carpet. I don't have it vacuum mine, I have it only for the hard floors.

This Belkin CONNECT USB-C audio and charge adapter delivers up to 60W of pass-through power and supports fast charging for compatible devices.
I need to know : it works like sígnale splitter ?
No - it won't split a signal to 2 USB-C devices. One USB-C port is for charging only and the other is for audio output. The device has picture indicators on it identifying which port is for charging (lightning bolt) and for audio (headphones).

Expand connectivity on your Apple MacBook Pro or Air with this gray HyperDrive DUO seven-in-two USB Type-C hub. Two USB Type-C ports support Power Delivery for charging mobile devices rapidly, while the HDMI output lets you connect a UHD display. This HyperDrive DUO seven-in-two USB Type-C hub has USB Type-A ports and microSD and SD card slots for fast data transfer.
Will the adapter fit comfortably if the computer is in a protective hard case/skin?
It will - but I found it to feel a bit shaky. I was worried that I'd break the USB-C ports on the hub off inside the MacBook.

IS THIS EASY TO PAIR? IS IT NECESSARY TO PAIR EACH TIME THE TV AND HEADPHONES ARE TURNED ON, OR ONCE THE PAIR HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED CAN YOU FORGET ABOUT THE TRANSMITTER HANGING ON THE BACK OF THE TV? AND WHAT KIND OF RANGE DOES IT TRANSMIT?
I've never had an issue with mine losing / forgetting connection. I can't speak to range since I've only used it within a few feet at most, but I've had no issues.
