I’m a productivity guru. I love figuring out any hack I can to be even 10% more productive. I recently reviewed the Tri-Screen 2 by Xebec, and was excited to test out another Tri-Screen, this time by UPERFECT. Using a tri-screen is a great way to turn your laptop into a workstation powerhouse. Adding multiple screens to your computer allows you to open multiple windows simultaneously, which helps you get more done. Multi-screen workstations are fantastic but can be expensive and not very mobile. This is why I am excited about this review; a tri-screen gives you those capabilities with…

During my college years, I was dating a girl who would eventually become my wife. We lived a 26-hour drive apart, and during the summers, we understood the hardship of a long-distance relationship. We often wrote each other love notes; I have a box in my home full of those love notes from our college days. Fast forward to 2023, and we see how long-distance relationships, though still difficult, can be manageable. Technology has truly changed the game, and recently when I got my hands on the Lovebox, I thought of how it would have helped during my college days…

Our homes are safe havens. Places we run to when disaster strikes. So, having our home prepared for the unexpected is essential. We can have our homes ready for these untimely events in several ways: having plenty of food and water on hand, a source of heat, having a backup power source. Gas-powered generators are loud, smell and have to be outside. This is why I wanted a battery when I was looking for a backup power supply. Battery Power Stations are safe, quiet, and, best of all, portable. I recently got my hands on the VTOMAN Jump 1000 to…

I purchased my first PC when I was 15 years old. I bought the computer from RadioShack, a Compaq Presario Pentium 2 gaming computer with all the bells and whistles. I know – I’m old. Since that day, I have had a ton of different laptops and PCs. I have used both Mac and Windows systems and have enjoyed using each one of them. I have always leaned toward owning prebuilt machines because I felt building my own PC was intimidating. This may be your opinion as well. Maybe you feel like you could NEVER build your own computer.

Finding money on the ground

The other day, I was reading a story that got my attention. It’s the story of Dianne Gordons. Dianne didn’t own a car and would walk 2.8 miles to work every day. One day on her way to work, she noticed a package that contained almost $15,000 in cash. She could have easily taken the money and used it to purchase a car to see her grandkids more. But that’s not what Dianne Gordons did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIadhZiGOGE She called the police so that they could track down the owner of the money. The owners were newlyweds that lost the money on…

When it comes to a bespoke suit, choosing the correct material is just as important as choosing an excellent tailor. That’s because you are spoilt for choice when it comes to suit materials, and you’ll want one that suits your needs and your personal fashion sense. When choosing your suit fabrics, always think about when and where you’ll be wearing that outfit. Some materials are more comfortable in hot weather, while others will keep you warm when temperatures drop. Meanwhile, the suit fabrics for work in a business-type environment aren’t the same as those to impress at a formal event.…

So my wife saw this ad on Facebook for a special portable blender. She had to have it. She said that it would change her life and allow her to make smoothies on the go. I’ve heard that one before. Now, I didn’t buy into the hype and didn’t think it was a useful product – at first. She ended up paying the money, and within a couple of days, the blender was delivered. After using the blender for a few months, I realized that it had its benefits in the right circumstances and for the right people. Making a…

It’s a familiar situation every morning; I get ready, have some breakfast, and then spend 20 minutes looking for my keys.

Suits are expensive and extremely hard to manage. I should know because I wear a suit every day. Yep, I am one of those people. Don’t get me wrong, I really like a nice suit, but the upkeep is a nightmare. Suits wrinkle quickly, get damaged easily, have to be dry cleaned regularly, and, of course, are expensive to buy. They look great, but they are a dread to keep up. I own a total of four suits, several dress pants, and sports jackets, then, of course, shirts and accessories. I know a little about suits and how much time…
