TL;DR: Despite some initial updating hiccups, the Orbi Mesh Router from Netgear proved simple and reliable — though it didn’t quite defeat my 75 year old home. Our house is weird.

Should You Wait For The iPhone X Or Just Go 8 Plus?
TL;DR: I pre-ordered the iPhone 8 Plus. The iPhone X, even though my FOMO is raging hard, is too expensive and too risky. I have a real problem you guys: I love technology, but there’s nothing I love more than phones. There’s just something incredible about having a super computer in your pocket at all…
LG X Venture Is Rugged Enough For The Elements And Filthy Children
TL;DR: The LG X Venture is a hearty device that can withstand a beating, grimy hands, and tantrums — but one feature acts more like a flaw. Full disclosure: when LG asked if I wanted to review an LG X Venture, I had never heard of it, and took to Google to see if GoGoDadget…
Nomad’s USB Charging Hub Puts A Stop To Hunting For Outlets
TL;DR: The Nomad USB Charging Hub is beautifully designed, discreet, and solves the issue of finding outlets or power strips for all your gear.

Huawei Watch 2 Is An Extremely Worthy Successor
TL;DR: The Huawei Watch 2 shines when used with an Android device. At no fault of its own, the Huawei Watch 2 on iOS, however, is plagued by connectivity issues. My Pebble Time is dead. This has left a gaping hole in my heart, because I had been a huge fan of Pebble since I…

TL;DR: The Simple Snap Edge-to-Edge glass screen protector for the iPhone 7 is handsome, functional, easy to install, and doesn’t fix my dumb phone.

Kano’s Pixel Kit Is Somehow More Fun And More Portable Than Their Computer
TL;DR Despite one rather large hiccup during the build, both my daughter and I had a blast building one of Kano’s latest STEM training toys — and their branding and design remain as strong as ever.

There’s Just One Thing As Easy As The Simple Snap iPhone 7 Screen Protector
TL;DR: Simple Snap screen protectors and their lauded easy installation are the real deal — and worth the premium — despite my struggles. This was an interesting review for me.

QUICK REVIEW: Is The Nomad Leather Folio iPhone 7 Plus Case A Dream For Parents?
TL;DR: When it comes to minimizing the amount you have to bring with you as you leave the house with your kids, the Nomad Leather Folio iPhone 7 Plus case is a godsend — even if it is a little bulky. I’m going to do something unusual, here. I’m going to recommend a product even…
Build Computers With Your Daughter. (Kano Review)
TL;DR: Kano Computing has created a build-your-own computer kit that’s incredibly fun, empowering, and important for all ages. It’s priced right and worth every penny. I’m trying this new thing where I put a TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read) at the top of GoGoDadget reviews and posts because yeah, I get it — sometimes a…
