Review

I’ve had quite a time with my grubby little mitts behind the (RC) wheel of some very impressive machines. Previously the big boys, E-Maxx and E-Revo got some love and as incredible as those behemoths are, they have themselves a cool kid brother, LaTrax Teton.  A boss little 4WD monster truck, with a lotta gumption for a little guy, LeTrax Teton takes the conventional RC vehicle and leaps over it dramatically, spraying it with dirt and gravel as it leaves it in its dust.

Wireless routers are the unsung heroes of the home Wi-Fi experience. We tend to buy them, set them up, then forget about them. Yet the performance of that network isn’t just a matter of the speed you get from your ISP, it has everything to do with that wireless router. If you haven’t updated yours in a few years or you’re lucky enough to have devices using the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi spec, it may be time for an upgrade. And the Linksys AC1900 Smart Wi-Fi wireless router would be a solid choice. After replacing my own wireless router with the Linksys for a week, I came away impressed with its performance and network management tools —and I don’t even have anything that takes advantage of its 802.11ac capabilities.

 Technology is changing everything, transforming even the mundane into something pretty cool. Take padlocks, for example. You know, those big metal things you use to secure your valuable stuff? Well, they’ve evolved quite a bit from the rusty old dinosaur that used to adorn your grandfather’s shed. Today, you don’t even need keys to unlock them, and you can manage a range of different locks with a tap on your mobile phone. Sound way-out and futuristic? Read on and I’ll give you my review of the Dog and Bone Keyless Bluetooth Padlocks.
