For the mountain biking trip to Moab, I decided to try doing some videos with an action cam. What’s kept me from recording before is the shaky quality of most videos I see. Then I saw this wearable gimbal in a few places online; the results look really good; then I got the equipment. Not […]

Without a doubt, my favorite shoes are the Mata for daily use and the Motus for sport. So much so, I have spares in my closet, but Vivo just came out with a canvas version of the Mata and I could not resist picking up a pair. I really like the leather version of the Mata. When […]

This is not a full review. I did some searching online for what impressions others had with this Vivobarefoot shoe in real use. I found only 1 and I’m not sure how much they really used the shoe, so this will be my attempt at providing my real world impressions. These are just my initial impressions. […]

I’ve become very fond of the beautiful and very utilitarian . It was installed in mid summer last year. I’m not sure it’s saved me money. It probably has, but that was not the only reason why I purchased it. I like having control of the device from my phone or laptop. While other thermostats […]
