Chris Maxcer has been writing about business technology since the birth of the email newsletter. Along the way, he’s written thousands of articles on enterprise computing topics and covered major technology companies like IBM, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft and Apple with solutions and IT strategies used by companies as diverse as Lockheed Martin and Tasty Baking. His business tech content has appeared in TechNewsWorld, MacNewsWorld, E-Commerce Times, Linux Insider, 1to1 Magazine, POWER IT Pro, iPro Developer, System iNEWS magazine, SAP NetWeaver magazine, insiderPROFILES, COMMON, ASUG, and multiple TechTarget sites, including SearchCRM, SearchManufacturingERP, SearchFinancialApplications, SearchOracle and SearchSAP. He has also written consumer-oriented tech news about Apple, and while he is generally a big fan of smart technology, he believes there’s something to be said for turning it all off — or most of it — to go outside. For professional connections, try LinkedIn or take a firstnamelastname guess at gmail.com. Technical Writing Clips Much of the technical content I’ve written has been behind paywalls, not visible due to NDAs, or has likely been removed by publishers for ongoing site maintenance for SEO.

I used to think inflatable swim docks were more hassle then they were worth, but I was wrong: There is something awesome about having an inflatable platform right off your space on the beach. You have a great place for kids to play — and they will play for hours on and off a swim dock. Plus you have a great place to chill out, float and relax. So good. To discover the best floating docks for you, check out my in-depth inflatable swim dock guide at Man Makes...

While rain can certainly dampen the mood while camping, flying insects — like mosquitoes, yellow jackets, hornets, and flies — have the power to ruin a good camping trip. When conditions are perfectly wrong — when there are gobs of mosquitoes trying to suck your blood or yellow jackets crawling all over your food — a screened tent, a.k.a. screen house, keeps the bugs away and lets you enjoy the fresh outdoor air. Sure, some people can ignore bugs just fine, but some people are allergic and some freak out . . . a screen house gives you an oasis. Are they worth the investment? Definitely. To find the right screen house for you and your family, check out my guide to the best screen houses at Man Makes...

The Vvolt Sirius ebike is an everyday pedal-assisted ebike that’s capable on rough roads and moderate trails. If you’re looking for an ebike that doesn’t look and ride like a boardwalk beach bike, the Sirius is a great option. I like the classic mountain bike style — which is similar to today’s modern flat-bar gravel bikes. Overall, Vvolt has done a great job of integrating quality components to create a sleek and competitive ebike. The Enviolo fully-enclosed hub shifts well while the MPF mid-drive motor delivers above average torque for the ebike’s class. But is it fun? Definitely.
