Vantrue Nexus 4 Pro

The VanTrue Nexus 4 Pro is a fantastic dash camera.  It checks all the boxes… except one.   The goddamn size, I had this issue with the Nexus 5 pro too.  Maybe it’s global warming, maybe it’s just shoddy adhesive by 3M (but I doubt it as they make a...

VioFo A229 Pro dashcam

The Viofo brand of dashcams has been one of my favourites over the past few years.  I’ve had no issues with their products and the quality of the video was always good for the price paid. The Viofo A229 Pro is substantially more expensive than their past models but...

Friday Night on YouTube

It’s Friday night and I find myself watching more YouTube than anything.   I’m moving away from conventional TV, even the streaming services bore me. My wife, Karen, and I binged an interesting student (Keng Tengg) who makes really interesting travel videos and he only has 123 subscribers.  Really great...

Stanley vs Yeti travel mugs

The best travel mug When it comes to travel mugs, Yeti seems to be dominating this marketplace.  I personally have 3 of them and love them.  So I was a bit surprised when Stanley reached out and asked me to look at a couple of their travel mugs. I...
