David Condon Finds

There’s nothing worse than reading product recommendations from someone who clearly has no real interest in what they’re writing about or worse, when it’s obvious they’re only doing it because it’s part of their job. It always feels a bit disingenuous to me. So, I wanted to keep it real. In this post, I’m sharing a handful of products I bought with low expectations, things I didn’t think much of at the time, or just hoped would do the job. But every one of them has earned a permanent place in my daily life and now I find that I can't do without them.

 We all love a bit of tech that makes life smoother, smarter, or just more fun and Amazon is packed with gadgets that do exactly that. Whether you’re streamlining your workspace, upgrading your home setup, or just looking for something clever to make daily tasks easier, there’s no shortage of smart accessories and devices that deliver real value. In this post, I’ve rounded up some of the best Amazon tech and accessories I’ve personally tested or bookmarked for their usefulness, affordability, or sheer ingenuity.

Let’s be honest, if you’re visiting Tralee or anywhere in the Kingdom of Kerry or indeed Ireland, a bit of rain is all part of the charm and fairly guaranteed rather than happenstance. When the weather turns damp and your outdoor plans fall through, why not try something completely different, indoors and hands-on? That’s where my Woodturning Experiences and Woodturning Tuition come in.

 Over the years, I’ve come across some truly invaluable tools and gadgets on Amazon. Items that have saved me time, effort, and the occasional headache in my own workshop. Whether it’s a clever clamp, a compact measuring device, or a tool I didn’t know I needed until I had it, these finds have earned their place on my bench.  I’ve always believed that good tool ideas should be shared, so I’ve put together this list for fellow makers, tinkerers, and handy people who appreciate smart, reliable gear that actually makes a difference. This is not completed yet but I've made a good start so far.

Introduction, Band of Brothers and The Pacific on Kindle If you were gripped by Band of Brothers or The Pacific, you might be surprised to learn that both series were based on real-life memoirs and historical accounts written by the men who lived through those brutal campaigns. These gripping books, written by veterans of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 1st Marine Division offer raw, unforgettable perspectives that Hollywood only scratched the surface of. I recently tracked down several of these titles for Kindle and thought I’d share them with fellow history buffs, fans of military storytelling & military movies. This post focuses on the books; I hope to do a follow-up that will explore the war films that brought these powerful stories to screen.
