Review of LON Bluetooth Portable Speaker

 

lonbt6
Up for review today I have what’s aptly named the Little Speaker, it’s from a company called Lon who is based in Colorado. The speaker is tiny at only 2”x2” and it weighs in at a little under 3 ounces but don’t let the small size full you as it can get much louder then speakers that are 2-3 times its size. The speaker has clear sound and it’s very simple to use, so read on to learn more…

 

 

Review of Aennon Multi-Function LED Headlamp For Handsfree Lighting

Flashlights are great, I’ve got a few good ones that have come in very handy in many situations, but sometimes you need your hands free and that’s where a decent headlamp style light comes into play.

Today for review I’ve got the Aennon Multi-Function LED Headlamp For Handsfree Lighting and it costs about $15 on Amazon right now. I’ve had other headlamps and I’ve used them for many projects but they weren’t the best and even though this one is inexpensive, it’s much nicer than the others I’ve owned. This headlamp features three levels of brightness with eight LEDs for up to 30 lumens of power but it also has a red LED which can be used in various situations where white just isn’t the best.

Review of Fraser FS11 Digital Touchscreen Kitchen Scale

fraser9

So I’m going to be doing more reviews here, more home and family things as they don’t fit on my tech sites really, but I’m interested in them and I use them. My kids are also in scouting so I’m going to be doing outdoor related things too…

Up for review today I have a digital scale that features a touchscreen and is priced right now on Amazon for only $17 and I think it’s well worth it. I love to cook, I was a chef for many years so a scale come sin handy in the kitchen, but scales are just something that’s very useful to have around the house for other projects as well.

I mentioned scouting above, and they have the Pinewood Derby races where you have the make a race car out of a block of wood but there are weight limits and you just have to have an accurate scale for the weight or you could actually be disqualified from the races. So a scale is great to have for not only in the kitchen but around the house for various other things. Well that might need correcting, I should say ‘an accurate scale is great to have’, and the Fraser FS11 is very accurate from my testing of it.

Wrike Project Management App for Android Review

New review by me over on DSM..

Quote: “Work, work, work, that’s all we do. Not fun, but it’s something we have to do for sure. There are things out there that make work easier and even quite possibly a bit more fun in the process. Wrike has what they call a project management app for Android that you can use with your tablet or phone to make it easier for everyone on your team to collaborate on projects that you might be working on. I didn’t know who Wrike was so I visited their site and found out that many big companies rely on their services like Paypal, MTV, Adobe and HTC, just to name a few, so they’re not just a little company.

The app lets you be more mobile and it lets you keep track of the status of projects, and even your team, no matter where you are. It isn’t just for big companies, small companies can use it as well to make life easier and to help get things done to make their business thrive. I’m in process of creating and developing an ecommerce website and, including me, there are only four of us involved in the process, and I’m finding it’s hard to get people to respond to emails. I need things to get it done on my end, but when I don’t get responses in a timely manner I can’t get the work done. There’s a time zone difference, but there also seems to be other issues, like when emails just get lost in the shuffle of everything else. I’m finding that doing this via email might not be the best way to go about it and something like the Wrike project management software might be a better way as it helps keep everything in one place and I think it would help keep people more focused and on task.

So what follows is a quick review or overview really of the Wrike Android app. I should note I haven’t actually used it for a project but I think I’m going to try it out as I do think the app has some great potential… “
