PupAlert helps your very good boy tell you when he has to go potty

NEWS – I miss having a dog, but I don’t miss the task of potty training and housebreaking them. There are as many ways to housebreak a dog as there are dog breeds, but did you know that there’s an app for that? Well, to be honest, it’s an app that works with a sensor and a tag that goes on your dog’s collar.

A sensor installs near your front door and the tag goes on the dog’s collar. When your dog goes to the door, your phone will receive a notification so you can quickly go to the door to let him out. It helps prevent you from missing that short window when your pup is at the door and ready to go before he wanders somewhere else in the house to do his business. PupAlert is priced at $99.99 and is available at pupalert.me

VAVA’s new 4K projector only needs 8.5 inches from a wall to project a 150 inch image

NEWS – Is it weird that as The Gadgeteer that I’ve not had a lot of experience with projectors? I’ve not had a lot of interest in them because until now they’ve needed space between the projector and the wall where you plan to project the image. At CES VAVA announced a 4K UHD Short Throw Laser Projector. What does that even mean? It means that this new projector only needs 8.5 inches of space between the projector and the wall to display a 150 inch (12.5 feet) high def image.

This projector uses ALDP 3.0 technology which the same as movie theater projectors and features Harman Kardon 30W speakers that support DTS and Dolby sound, Smart TV features that use the Android 7.0 which is built in, and Smart Eyes Protection which automatically turns down the brightness for eye safety when people get close to the screen.

The VAVA 4K UHD Short Throw Laser Projector will sell for $3,499 and will be available in late Q1 to early Q2. For more info visit VAVA.com

Botto storage containers expand and shrink as needed

NEWS – It’s about time that food storage containers evolved. Botto containers are the first adjustable storage containers that expand and shrink to hold a little or a lot. Made of food-safe materials that are BPA, and phthalate-free, Botto containers come in two styles. There’s the clear variety that you see pictured here and a UV-blocking version that is harder to see through.

Each Botto air-tight container is designed to hold a little or a lot. It starts out as 16 oz (470 ml) and can grow to hold as much as 32 oz (960 ml). A special airlock inside the container pushes the air out as you compress the size. I thought the idea was terrific until I saw the price. Each standard (clear) container is $14.95 and if you want the Pro version which is darker plastic, the price jumps up to $22.95 each. YIKES! If the price doesn’t scare you away, you can read more about Botto containers by visiting thebotto.com and The Grommet.
