Raymond Stapleton

I have worked in and around many different types of computers. In the Navy, I used a magtape drive computer that was a step down from pen and paper. I later worked for a big computer company and after that, taught computer class’s nation wide. I had the privilege of teaching 14,000 students in a 2 years period of time. Afterwards, I owned a small computer training and repair shop for a few years. I have owned C-64’s, Pc’s of various types, Amiga’s, and even Mac’s. I now have included the android to my collection. At any time, I have close to 15-20 computers or combinations of computers and game systems in the house. I look forward to more.

FRiEQ 10 Foot USB Cable Review

by

FRiEQ provides many different kinds of products. One is an Android cable. Now, you might say, “So what”! To that I will say, “Why not” but I have been using my new FRiEQ 10 foot, yes, ten foot USB cable for a while now, and it is wonderful. You might ask why in the world would I need a 10 foot cable, and you would not be alone. I myself at one time said the same … Read more

1byone Multi-Function Jump Starter External Battery Review

by

According to the AAA Research Center, in December of 2012 alone, they responded to over 128,000 dead battery calls. That’s just one month of reported calls. Imagine all of the ones who did not call AAA. They also said that when the temperature reaches zero degrees F., a battery loses 60% of its charging strength. At 32 degrees, it loses 35%. With winter approaching, this makes the likelihood of your car not starting at some … Read more

Inateck Bluetooth Earbuds Review

by

I have said this more than you know, and that is that I love sound. What I mean is the rich true sound reproduced by quality audio reproduction devices. I have in my time here, reviewed many different Bluetooth devices, some better than others. I have even gotten to review a few varieties of headphones, mostly the over the ear kind. I do this type mostly because I do not like ear buds. Until now! … Read more

QICENT 6 Outlet Power Strip with USB Review

by

QICENT makes a power strip/surge protector that is in a word “wonderful”. I found it to function exactly as stated. And recommend it to anyone who needs a great power strip without paying a ton of money. This power strip is also a surge protected device. It has 6 120v plugs, and 5 USB ports. Each USB port is rated for up to 5v/ 2.4A. I like that, it means, I can use any port … Read more

ANNT LED Desk Lamp Review

by

I have never in my life owned an LED desk lamp. The closest to it would be a product I reviewed way back that used LED’s to add a splash of color around my desk, and perhaps a poorly made LED light I added to the lamp I have over my desk. But, I must say this one impressed me. The ANNT LED desk lamp is excellent. There are so many things it can do. … Read more

Choetech Flashlight and 3 in 1 Emergency Tool Review

by

I have never before thought of a flashlight as being anything more than just a light with batteries wrapped up in a plastic wrapper. Some desire to be more, and others don’t even make the mark. Choetech has a flashlight that not only shines brightly, but does a whole lot more or less. As a flash light, there are a few things to know. It does not use a traditional bulb, but instead uses a fairly … Read more

Showcasing Chronicles of Albian from Gametop

by

Chronicles of Albian is a beautiful game. The artwork is very detailed and stunning. It is a hidden object game that at times has things really hidden from view. I spent some time playing this game and must tell you, it is an adventure. Some people may not get the challenge. It does not have the same appeals as some action/ adventure games out there, but puzzle games do have a place in the lives … Read more

Wirelessky Universal Power Bank

by

Wirelessky sent me a small Android/iOS power bank to test out. It is small, and I at first did not think it would be enough to do anything of any help in charging my tablet, but I tried it anyways. I was wrong. It may be small, but it is packed with power. It takes next to no time to fully charge. And it took my 10 inch android tablet from 0% to 79% within … Read more

TomTom GPS Re-purposing into Media Player

by

One of the fun things about electronics is that sometimes they can be used in ways not thought of by the designer, like the old Commodore 64 which many years later was used as a server. Another would be using a VCR to record a computer program in a series of black and white flashes and using it in place of a dataset recorder. (Another C-64 thing). But who would have ever thought that that … Read more

Sumsonic Bluetooth Speaker

by

Bluetooth speakers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are tiny and barrel shaped, some long and thin, some are designed to fit in or on the ears, but seldom have I seen one shaped like a doughnut. Sumsonic has just that, the LLX-01. Watch the Unboxing Video! Not only does it have a unique shape, it can be bent and shaped into other shapes as well. While only a few will stand on their … Read more

Coocheer Desktop Charging Station Review

by

I opened my Coocheer Desktop Power Center and was pleased to see a beautiful product. I noticed the 5 charging ports on top right away, as well as the two additional extra power plugs for everyday use. Each of the USB ports say they are smart which should mean no matter what I plug into it, it should be able to charge it with no problems. So, I reviewed the manual. This is where things … Read more
