Posted on by

By Kyle Wilcox – Guest Writer As part of the Average Guy Tech Scholarship fund found at https://www.patreon.com/theaverageguy, I had three three baby monitors that I considered for the review: Angelcare AC1120 Video and Sound Monitor – http://amzn.to/1mQCQve Summer Infant Wide View Digital Color Video Baby Monitor – http://amzn.to/1mQCWCS Motorola MBP33S Wireless Video Baby Monitor with 2.8-Inch Color LCD, Zoom and Enhanced Two-Way Audio – http://amzn.to/1mQCZ1H All three models seemed fairly similar and as of January 2016, each was selling for around $110.

The iDevices iGrill Mini Hands On Review

Posted on by

One of the many reasons I love podcasting is that I learn so much from those I interview.  It’s been a consistent flow of new information now for the last 5 years!  I recently interviewed Ryan Parker (@TheRyankParker) of http://foodcraftsmen.com/ on Home Gadget Geeks 193 (http://theAverageGuy.tv/hgg193) and he recommend the IDevices IGrill Mini (click the link to find on Amazon) and ordered it right before Thanksgiving here in the US for $38.98.  On show 193, I talked Ryan thru my special BBQ Bacon Wrapped Turkey method (https://theaverageguy.tv/2011/11/27/bbq-turkey-and-bacon-two-great-tastes-that-taste-great-together/) and asked him how I could take it up a notch.  The iGrill

Your Movie Library on the Go – A First Look at the Seagate GoFlex Satellite Wireless Hard Drive Review

Posted on by

Part I – Seagate GoFlex Satellite First Impressions Over the years our digital libraries have grown quite large. The accumulation of audio, video and picture files prevents any one portable device from being able to store it all. In my case, I have over 350 GB of Music and Videos in my iTunes library and over 3 TB of Recorded TV and Movie backups on my Windows Home Sever 2011. When preparing for a trip with the kids, I would copy various movies and TV shows from my iTunes library to the different devices I have trying to spread out

A PC Running Android: Tronsmart MK908 Initial Review

Posted on by

Instead of having a built-in touch screen for operation, these devices plug into a standard HDMI port on a TV or computer monitor. The device itself came in very nice retail packaging and included the appropriate HDMI and USB cables. That was good because I was worried that cables were going to raise the total cost
