Wireless Gaming Headsets In the last years I always used a wired headset, because I didn't like the idea of having to recharge it and I am not moving away from my desk anyway. I am using a wired mouse and keyboard for the same reason. However there are two things that break on headsets. First, the faux leather disintegrates… ▶

The idea is the same, all during October, each day a prompt is given and artists are asked to draw, paint or otherwise create something inspired by the prompt and post it to social media. I'm not great at drawing but it sounded fun and I wanted to see how my new… ▶
Viwoods AI Paper Review I have been a user of the original Remarkable Tablet (RM1) for more than 8 years now. I use it nearly daily, to take notes during my day job as well as for private projects. So when Viwoods asked if I'd be interested in testing their approach on a E-Ink note taking device, I was very interested.… ▶
Horse Kaddi wanted to build something for her little niece again. Last time it was a unicorn, this time it was a horse. I helped a little with the woodworking parts, but again most of the design and work was done by her.
