Owning a webcam is something that I think should be required for people who do any type of office work, whether that is at home or in the office! Not only will it make you look better, but a separate webcam also gives more options for camera angle placement. Built-in cameras on most laptops just…
Working from home was initially a huge revelation for me, and a relief since my old job didn’t allow it. While my work has been fairly supportive with their flexibility, they unfortunately were not willing to pay money for extra office equipment. So I had to buy all new stuff, which I’ve been covering here….
One of my last posts was about USB fast chargers that I recommend, which have replaced most of my other chargers. Even the iPhone, which annoyingly hasn’t adopted USB-C natively, still has a lightning to USB-C cable making it so that I can still use the same charger brick as all of my other electronics….
Most of your electronic devices probably came with a charger, so why not just use the charger that came with it? In a lot of cases, they will charge your device way slower than what is possible. These stock chargers only have one port on them as well, meaning you need a separate charger if…
So you’ve got a desk, you’ve organized all of your cables, but what about your monitor? If you’ve been following along you know that I became hyper-fixated on my ergonomics during Covid, and having a monitor arm was one way I helped situate my monitor better for viewing and clean up my desk space. What’s…
No matter how hard I try to be minimalistic with my office desk setup, I always end up with something that looks like this: Now if you’re just using a laptop or an iMac you may not have this problem. But for my multitasking and ergonomic needs, having a larger monitor or two is essential…
I’ve been known to try some pretty weird experimentation with my diet in the past. A few years ago I went full on with Soylent, the liquid meal that replaces all solid food meals. Re-reading that last sentence and especially reading the “solid food meals” part out loud makes me feel like either a robot…
If you buy something through our posts, we may get a small share of the sale. Click here for more information. I covered what you might actually need an Apple Pencil for here, which to sum up is either art creation or note-taking on an iPad. If you’re on the fence, not sure if you will…
The Apple Pencil is an interesting little device. If you haven’t used a stylus since the days of Palm Pilots (I’m old) or a touch screen laptop that required a stylus, you’ll be surprised by how much better the Pencil works. Yes, I know Androids have been doing this for way longer, with the Samsung…
To go along with the post where I explained why I bought the best office chair possible at a low price, it only makes sense that I also explain my current standing desk. I did not go for a brand name with my desk, and two years after purchase I am quite happy with it!…
Truly one of the “don’t knock it till you try it” products: Birkenstocks. I used to really have a field day making fun of these and the people that wear them. I thought these were exclusively for people from Vermont or Colorado and only paired well with a tie-dye t-shirt. One day my best friend…
When I turned 25 I suddenly was struggling to see street signs while driving at night time, a canary in the coal mine of my eventual need for glasses. Over the last ten years plus I’ve tried a huge range of glasses: brand names from Lenscrafters, boutique optic shops, Warby Parker, and even glasses from…
Cycling is a sport that people get really into, which means that people are quite passionate about their bikes and have lots of opinions about them. This dynamic can make it difficult when shopping for a bike, especially if you’re not trying to get the absolute best and are trying to save money. I’m someone…
I’ve written about my favorite PS5 wireless headsets and gave my recommendations for those who prefer to have wireless functionality with their headset. The problem is that they are generally a bit expensive, and you probably wouldn’t use them for anything non gaming related. Sure, you maybe could use one on your PC for conference…
You will never read articles like this on a regular affiliate website (as of writing this we are not even an affiliate site yet). Why? Because I’m going to talk about buying something used, which doesn’t help me in any way. I love buying things used, especially premium items. While I also like dupes, I’m…
