For the first time in my life I won a prize: a digital radio receiver Denver DAB-18.
That happened thanks to the Met het oog op morgen (which roughly translates as “With a view to tomorrow”) podcast, which I’ve been listening to for about a decade now. It’s double useful because you learn the news and improve your Dutch at the same time.
This nightly podcast is being made by the NPO and published around midnight, so I’d usually listen to it the next day.
About a month ago we’ve bought a peculiar gadget, the pocket thermal printer PeriPage A6.
Quite a bit of thermal paper has been spent since so I think I can share my experiences about the device.
Enough of those router and pump reviews! Today’s review is the weirdest and the shortest one in this blog’s history!
We’ll unbox and study the professional, as the seller puts it, nail clipper by Xiaomi.
My mesh router Netgear Orbi Pro SRK60 (see my review of the router) has recently received the firmware version 2.5.0.108.
What’s new in this version:
I like Xiaomi gadgets a lot and I’ve reviewed quite a few of them.
I’ve bought a set of precision screwdrivers Xiaomi Wiha screwdriver kit a while ago so now I can share my experience.

It’s an unusual review today: I’m writing about my experiences with the fastest-growing online supermarket chain in the Netherlands—Picnic—which has finally opened its virtual doors before me.
I’ve signed up for it a little more than a year ago and landed at the place 200+ on the waiting list at the moment.
Later I checked on the app several times but my number never changed so I forgot about it a while later.
It’s time to fulfil my promise and publish a review of my “inflatable treasure”, which perhaps can better be described as the Xiaomi Mijia Electric Pump.
I’ve been using my Linksys E4200 router for about eight years and was quite happy with its very robust operation. However, any hardware is destined to get outdated over time.
Firstly, as soon as we’d moved from our former apartment into a three-storey house it became evident the Wi-Fi coverage was suboptimal. In some remote corner you’d sometimes hardly get any connection at all. Secondly, it didn’t support modern IEEE standards such as 802.11ac, which was also hurting the bandwidth.
Thus eventually I’ve decided to go for a mesh Wi-Fi system.
TGIF — time for wine (and a review)!
I’ve been using the electric corkscrew Xiaomi Mijia for more than a year now and I’m pretty happy with it.
It features a rechargeable battery, which means there’s one more gadget to charge. However, I dare say you won’t need to charge it frequently unless you drink wine a crate a day.
I like Xiaomi gadgets and own quite a bunch of them.
I’ve been using their thermo-hygrometer Xiaomi Mijia for about a year now. This neat gadget provides temperature and relative humidity readings.
