Reviews
I always have an opinion, and it seems with my autistic eye for details, many others find my opinions helpful as they select products, services, or software for their needs. I'm often consulted in making decisions like this, and I've decided to formalize my reviews of products.
After reviewing 600+ products over the years, I'm creating a catalog of them here on the website for you to peruse.
A hands-on review of the Lucimed Luminette 3 Light ($199.99) after six to nine months of daily use. Rated 5 out of 5 stars. A wearable alternative to desk light therapy panels that solves the core problem of panel-based SAD treatment: staying close enough to the light for long enough, without requiring you to sit still.
A hands-on review of the Anker 575 USB-C Docking Station (13-in-1, $199.99). Rated 5 out of 5 stars. Manages heat noticeably better than a basic USB-C dongle, avoiding the data throttling that comes with sustained large file transfers over Ethernet, though it lacks a dedicated cooling fan and has a limited port count for heavier peripheral setups.
A hands-on review of Arthaxi's Flexible Tanning Glasses ($9.99, sold as a two-pack). Rated 4 out of 5 stars. A flexible, no-hard-plastic design that lets in just enough light to stay usable during a tanning session, held back slightly by a cheap elastic string and loose adjustment piece.
A hands-on review of the BESTFIRE Single Propane Burner ($32.99, 120,000 BTU). Rated 3 out of 5 stars. Cheap and functional for calm, sheltered backyard cooking, but the thin stamped-metal frame, low-quality regulator, and total lack of a wind guard make it a poor fit for anything windy or for cooking that leans on a sturdy frame.

A hands-on review of Micro Ingredients Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract (50g powder, $17.99 USD). Rated 4 out of 5 stars for its pure, additive-free root formulation, light-tight vacuum packaging, and included 400mg measuring scoop. While effective as an up-regulating adaptogen, it is held back by a strong taste and a lack of publicly available third-party testing transparency.

A critical review of the Curad 6 Inch Universal Elastic Rib Belt ($10.15 USD), rated 2 out of 5 stars. Evaluated for diaphragmatic breathing biofeedback, it offers high adjustability and an economical price point, but suffers from uneven elastic tension, rapid Velcro pilling, skin discoloration, and overly stiff elastic that hinders breathing rather than assisting it.

A comprehensive review of Yupik Organic Raw Cacao Powder (2.2 lbs / 1 kg at $26.99 USD), rated 4 out of 5 stars. Highlighted for its exceptional value, organic certification, and non-Dutch processing, but held back by a mild flavor profile that requires larger serving sizes and a lack of publicly available heavy metal testing data.
Review Requests
From time to time, companies send me products to review. I'm open to communication about that. You can contact me on the contact page.
However, you should know that I will be absolutely, brutally honest. No amount of free product or administrative fees is going to prevent me from giving you a low review if I think your product isn't good.
