I've been chasing a cool pillow my entire life. Purple Harmony, Eight Sleep's Air Pillow (just a regular pillow), random Amazon finds that claim to stay cool. Nothing worked. I just have a really hot head. Flipping and rotating the pillow throughout the night has always
In 2022, I spent $2,000 on the Eight Sleep Pod 2 because I didn't trust the influencer hype and there wasn't a single genuine, unbiased review online. Four years later, I've bought every generation since (Pod 3 and Pod 4), and my conclusion
I test the new Apple Watch models every single year, and I come to the same conclusion: the SE is the best value for most people. Whether it was the original, the SE 2, or now the SE 3, it's the rational choice. Even last year, I recommended
I've had an Apple Watch on my wrist for more than 4,000 consecutive days and owned all eleven models. In the early days, the Apple Watch didn't have a clear purpose and it was unbearably slow. But now, it's one of my favorite
Reviewing smart buttons sounds so painfully boring that I almost didn't write this post. How does someone even review them? I can hear myself now, "Yeah, the button has great clickability." It’s literally just a single button, what else is there to say? But I
The only recent tech purchase I’ve truly enjoyed is the Rachio Smart Hose Timer. And funnily enough, it’s a product I had no intention of reviewing when I bought it. My new home came with an ancient underground sprinkler system that barely worked, then it got torn up

Today, I’m summarizing my experience with three Apple Home Key locks: the Yale Assure 2 Plus, Schlage Encode Plus, and Level Lock+. Apple’s Home Key is a must-have feature for families with iPhones and Apple Watches. But after using each of these locks in my home for at
I recently bought a new house and decided to upgrade my WiFi to the best Eero system available: the Eero Max 7. This was the perfect opportunity to start fresh and optimize the position of my nodes throughout the house, which is always a fun time for a nerd like
As a long-time user of August locks, I was pumped to test the latest addition to the lineup: the Yale Assure 2 Plus. And it proved to be a more refined version of the older Yale Assure SL with addition of the amazing Apple Home Key feature. After a few
I’ve reviewed more than 14 different smart locks over the last eight years. I just finished four months of testing the Eufy Smart Lock Touch (S230) that has two features that I’ve never seen in a smart lock that I’ve tested: a replaceable battery and a fingerprint
Last year, I spent two months trying Levels Health, a subscription service that lets you track how your body reacts to food using continuous glucose monitoring. It’s marketed as a tool to teach you which foods are best for your body. My experience? I’ve had a love-hate relationship
