Why?
I’m a gadget nut. I’m also 57 years old. I recognize that some members of my generation have a hard time with the current and ever changing crop of electronic devices that proliferate our world today.
Since I have been playing with gadgets all my life, and since I am somewhat technical (this blog is evidence of that), and since I have a knack for explaining technical things, I decided to launch this website.
What are my qualifications?
Fair question. My entire working career (35 years) has been in the mechanical and electronic high technology field in the areas of installation, servicing, end user technical support, customer training, engineering, R&D, and marketing. My name is on five US & international patents and I have been deeply involved in some of the most successful products ever sold in the lock and security industry.
What can the reader expect?
My focus will be to seek out, review, and report on gadgets that are suitable for the over 50 crowd. Such gadgets need to be A); useful and perform a desired function, B); simple to use, and C); elegant in their design. I will review gadgets that come to my attention and rate them on a scale of 1-5 stars, 1 being poor and 5 being great. Get the idea? Geezer Approved Gadgets.
Let me know if there is a particular gadget you want reviewed.
Manufacturers; want the Geezer seal of approval? Send me your gadget for review.
Already own a gadget but find it hard to use? Let me know and I’ll try and break it down for you.
