Tesla, have you ever heard of him? Nikola Tesla, the inventor who brought us the alternating current (AC), wireless lighting and of course the Tesla coil. He also happens to be the namesake to a much more recent re-invention– Tesla electric cars. They’ve taken a century-old idea of the electric automobile and managed to turn […]
I had a bunch of pictures I wanted to print to one PDF file. I didn’t know if I would have to download any special software of the Internet, but it turns out, I did not. So, here’s what I did. You need a PDF printer installed. I use the Foxit reader that installed its […]
There is no doubting that technology over the past couple of decades has advanced in leaps and bounds. Here are three areas where I believe advancements in technology have made a significant impact: Inexpensive to run, but… the extension cord costs a small fortune! What a boon to mankind. Now people […]
I came across an old microphone and hooked it up to my computer to test it out. The first program that came to mind was to use the sound recorder, assuming Windows 10 still included it. In the search bar, I started typing sound recorder but then the Voice Recorder option popped up. I clicked […]

I Was Scammed! Back in September, I detailed the new PC Cooler RGB fans I’d fitted to my system in How Many Fans Do You Need In Your PC?, but on closer inspection, I discovered that they were used. This was easy to spot since there were tell-tale signs of dust on the fan […]
I’ve been networking since the Windows 98 days. At first, it was just a direct cable connection from a computer-to-computer using a crossover cable. Then I bought a hub, or so I thought. One day, I took a closer look at the name and the specs and I realized I had a GNET 5 port […]
Wearables. It’s a funny word. A word that somehow slipped into the conversation of mainstream tech. It sounds like a term I would have thought into existence as an eight-year-old. While a silly name accompanies this growing sector of the tech industry, the products and technologies are a bit more serious. What started as a […]
Imagine a time without cars. Just over a century ago, streets were meant for pedestrians just as much as they were for horses and carriages. There was no traffic, no parking lots. To get somewhere you’d walk, hop on a horse-drawn trolley, or take the train. It may seem like a romantic departure from our […]
The season of shopping is here and I have all the best tech gadgets that everyone will want this Christmas. I haven’t done an article in a while about the tech that everyone should own, so I decided it was time to do one for this shopping season. This list is to help you find […]
GoPro Copycat Or The Real Thing? Last year while on holiday in the UK I bought a couple of copycat action cameras (pictured above) in a local supermarket for £30 each, knowing that I’d probably bought a couple of pups. Indeed, when I mounted one on my bike and recorded a countryside ride in […]
