After moving to one of North America’s largest river islands late last year, I decided that I should check out more of my new home by water. I have long been a fan of the freedom that a small dinghy or bass boat offers, even on larger rivers like the …

I love step-through ebike frames, not just because it allows my much-shorter wife to borrow the bike when she’s wearing a skirt, but also because when a bike is this heavy (67 lbs), it makes it much easier to balance and hop on and off of. I never felt sketchy …

The MSI Titan is not for the faint of heart—it never has been. It’s an 18-inch behemoth, fitting into that “desktop replacement” class of gaming laptop. This one in particular is meant for PC gamers who don’t just want top performance, but also some bling. You’ll be hard-pressed to find …

The desk height ranges from 25.5 to 51.1 inches, and the dual motors glide effortlessly up and down, and they’re not too loud. You’ll want to be careful when lowering it—there’s collision detection, and it successfully stopped the desk from crushing a stool after I put it underneath, but it …

Everybody loves a good foot massage. As an avid runner with plantar fasciitis, I often need a good foot massage. So when I heard about the Nike x Hyperice collaboration to develop a shoe with compression and heating capabilities built in, I was eager to learn more. The Hyperboots feature …
