Unboxing the FILA Men’s Memory Steelprint Shoes

February 7, 2018 Leave a Comment

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

As of 2/17/18, I’ve been using them for about a week. As the reviews stated, these are indeed narrow. That’s why I picked up a larger size than usual. I rarely buy wide shoes, and I have no problem getting in them. But if you buy wide shoes, that’s something to worry about or at least be prepared to return them or hand them off to friends and family.

These is a flat shoe, more akin to Vans sneakers than the typical FILA exercise shoes, so keep that in mind as well. I’m using them for walking, but one week is far too soon to tell how they will hold up.

Granted, considering the price, I’ll be happy if I get six months out of them ๐Ÿ™‚

November 21, 2017 Leave a Comment

Both my current Chromebook and Android tablet were prehistoric at best, so when I saw that the Samsung Chromebook Plus went down to $350 during the Black Friday festivities at amazon.com, it was a no-brainer, a two-for-one purchase without breaking the bank!

I am planning to have a LOT of posts about it here, starting with a text and pictures unboxing ๐Ÿ™‚ I promise, no annoying audio or video in this post! Not only that, but you will find some useful tidbits here! Money-back guarantee ๐Ÿ™‚

The Fossil Q Explorist FTW4004 Smartwatch does NOT have a flat tire!

October 14, 2017 Leave a Comment

This [the Fossil Q Explorist FTW4004] is my first smartwatch and only recently I discovered the whole kerfuffle with “flat tires” on smartwatches. Since this is an important aspect to a number of smartwatch fans, I wanted to post a quick update for anyone interested or curious or worried about it.

I’m happy to note that this smartwatch does not have a flat tire! I’ve been playing it for about 24 hours already, and have pictorial evidence for you right below.

August 4, 2017 Leave a Comment

Amazon’s Dash Buttons are a curiosity, and sometimes a temptation because they have money-maker type promotions. Are you Dash buttons curious? Not sure what to expect? In this post, we show you what you’ll get when you purchase a goofy Dash button.

The Dash button arrives in Amazon’s trademark cardboard boxes (they also use them for their Kindles and AmazonBasics products). Most of their cardboards are reusable and repurposable, so open it gently.
