Last week I finally ticked something off my tech bucket list. Well, actually two things. Fly a drone Buy a drone These two things went nice and hand in hand because of the new DJI Mavic Mini being very fairly priced. Wintery weather took a brief break last week and quick as a flash, I was out in Sandymount to...

I’m fairly sure half of Ireland now has an Amazon Echo Dot if not the full-on Echo itself. Which means most of the country is now looking at this odd little hockey puck device and wondering what the hell they need to do with it. Here’s how to setup your Echo Dot (and yes, it’s the exact same for...

That's it! 2018 is coming to a close and I think it's fair to say that it has been a bumper year for technology as a whole. From the re-invigoration of the smartphone industry to the increasing options of food service apps there has been a lot of good stuff going on. That's why we've decided to start our...

I’m going to let you in on a little writing secret of mine. When I write an article, I focus on three “whats”. First of all, is just “what”. What happened that triggered me to write. Is it a review or maybe a newsworthy event? Next up, “so what?”. Ok, so I’ve decided I’m going to write...

Finding the right one was no easy task and after three months comparing style, size, battery life and activity tracking I settled on a Nokia Steel HR. One year later I’m still extremely happy with my watch and here’s why. Style A big plus for the...

You'd think that being close to technology and playing with gadgets all the time would lead to it all becoming a little stagnant. Yet I'm still taken aback by how fast technology moves on a regular basis. Last year, just after testing the Sony WH-1000MX2, and being mighty impressed by them, I bought the Sony WF-1000X. Great sound quality, but...

Not too long ago, everyone had a stand alone sat nav. Then, of course, the smartphone entered the party and pretty much wiped out the general sale of sat nav hardware. Many are more than happy to use Apple or Google Maps, but I've found an app that beats the lot. TomTom Go Mobile First and foremost, it's a sat nav TomTom Go...

Before I get going on the Tag Heuer Smartwatch, I feel a bit of back story is needed. I personally am a huge watch fan, always have been always will be. In fact, this is a love that goes back to my childhood and my old grandfather's jewellery shop in Limerick City. I remember getting my first watch on my Communion...

I was a driven anti-AirPod guy. I was against everything they stood for. The death of the headphone jack, the commercial monster that is Apple and the style of them. Everything irked me. Then, I realised it was time to say goodbye to the headphone jack. Apple actually builds some pretty great products. And the design of...

We have all done it. Yelling at the mother, brothers or sister, girlfriends or the lads asking them if anyone has seen your phone. Of course, they never know where your phone is. It's a depressing feeling and funnily enough, it always seems to occur when you just had it a moment before. The tale of the vanishing smartphone is...
