WaterField’s new Pro Executive laptop backpack is designed by experts

When WaterField wanted to design a laptop for professionals, they went to the pros for input.  WaterField designed the Pro with input from a couple thousand of their customers who know what they want in a work bag.  The result is a backpack that’s at home in any business setting and loaded with every feature you could need.

The exterior is 1050 denier black ballistic nylon accented with a full-grain leather front panel and grab handle.  It measures 13.5″ wide x 16.5″ tall x 7.0″ deep, weighs 2.9 lbs, and has a volume of 25.5 liters.  Other features include:

  • Two main chambers: back chamber zips down to carry laptop or tablet, documents, and the optional Executive Folio. Front chamber is spacious enough to hold other items needed for a day at the office or travel.
  • Two zip pockets on the front panel to quickly access items when swinging the backpack from the shoulder.
  • Two large side pockets for water bottle and small items.
  • Top front pocket that’s deep enough to hold items securely.
  • Back slot for slipping onto suitcase handles.
  • Sleek, waterproof zippers throughout.
  • Comfortable shoulder straps and wicking panels on the back to prevent sweating.
  • Stands upright when it’s set down and doesn’t sag while you’re wearing it.

The optional Executive Folio fits in the back chamber and can serve as a laptop sleeve.  The Folio can be taken out for shot meetings, as it can hold a laptop, note pad, documents, and pens.  The leather panel is available in black, chocolate, gray, or crimson leather.  The Pro Executive laptop backpack is $349.00.  The Executive Folio is sized for a 13″ MacBook or a 15″ MacBook.  It’s $89.00, but it can be added to the Pro for an additional $49.00 at the time of original purchase.

You can order the Pro Executive laptop backpack today.  Shipping is expected to start June 15.  Learn more and order at WaterField’s website.

The Haven Lock Connect is the deadbolt that keeps you safe!

Over the past few months, I have written a few news stories about Bluetooth controlled door locks. Those locks either replace a part of an existing lock or install over an existing lock. In some cases, the installation can be a bit tricky and may require someone with a bit of experience to ensure that it is installed correctly. Since we live in a world where security should always be one of the priorities on our minds, I am always on the lookout for new and innovative security products.

The Haven Lock Connect is exactly such a device. It is installed on the floor at the base of your door, and according to the manufacturer, it is made of steel, nylon, and industrial strength polycarbonates, and is 10 times stronger than a deadbolt. It can be powered by either the included wall adapter or by batteries, and it can be controlled by the included key fob or a Smartphone app. Both the key fob and the app use Bluetooth to connect to the lock. Its features are similar to other Bluetooth locks, and it allows you to create temporary digital keys for visitors.

If you would like more information on the Haven Connect Lock, you can check it out on the Haven Lock website. You can also purchase one via their website for $349.

Make sure each pet eats only her own food with these bowls

My friend has three cats, and they exhibit the alpha/beta/omega pack rankings.  The omega cat often loses her meal to the other cats, who gobble their food and then take hers.  If Leah had the SureFeed Microchip feeder for cats and small dogs, she could make sure that Pixel got to eat her own food.

You program the SureFeed feeder to open only for your pet’s unique microchip.  If your pet doesn’t have a chip, you can use an RFID collar tag (which the cat must then always wear) to program the feeder.  When the cat with the correct chip approaches, the feeder opens.  If that cat gets pushed away, the bowl closes and the greedy cat can’t steal the food.  This system is also ideal for animals eating a prescription diet.

Because the feeder is sealed, the food will stay fresher longer, and it can be used for wet or dry food.  The SureFeed feeder is made of plastic, holds 13.5 ounces, and is battery powered.  Batteries aren’t included, but each feeder comes with one RFID collar tag.

The SureFeed Feeder is $139.99 (list price is $149.99).  Order today at the Chewy website.

The BoomBottle MM wireless speaker pops tunes and bottle caps

Wireless speakers come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The Scosche BoomBottle MM is no exception. The speaker has a unique bottle design, hence the name. However, that’s not the only thing that makes this wireless speaker unique. The speaker’s bottle design makes it perfect for placing into cup holders, water bottle cages, or even backpack water bottle compartments.

Features include 2 x 6W 45mm speakers, 2 x passive subwoofers, a built-in mic for hands-free calling and Dual Pairing for True Stereo Sound.

There’s also a rechargeable battery that will give you up to 12 hours of music playback on a single charge.

Its rugged design is IP67 rated for dust and water. And it’s fully submergible in up to 3 feet of water.

It does what?

But two things make the BoomBottle MM standout from other wireless speakers. You might be wondering what the MM in the name stands for, well, it stands for MagicMount. That’s because there are magnets built into both the top and bottom of the speaker. So you can magnetically mount your device to the BoomBottle MM while also magnetically mounting it to most metal surfaces. Perfect for mounting it onto a metal cooler or vehicle at the beach for example.

The other unique feature of this speaker is its built-in bottle opener. Yes, I said built-in bottle opener. Now you can pop the top off your favorite beverage while listening to your favorite tunes.

These unique features alone might make the BoomBottle MM the perfect summertime companion.

The Scosche BoomBottle MM wireless speaker sells for $129.99. Currently, its listed as out of stock on their website. But you can provide your email and get a notification when the speaker becomes available.

With the Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker, you get the perfect dish every time!


If your household is anything like mine, then you are used to the chaos of kids running around and us as parents trying to maintain control, while simultaneously attending to several other tasks. In one specific scenario, my wife, who loves to cook healthy and who created her own recipes, is constantly running out of the kitchen to deal with the kids, or something else, and running back into the kitchen when she smells something beginning to burn. Being so distracted, she forgets that the dish is still cooking. I have seen this happen so many times, that I could not help but be intrigued when I came across a device that promises to take all of the chaos out of the cooking process. I immediately thought about my wife and how it could help.

The Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker claims to allow anyone to cook an amazing meal every time, without the perils for over-cooking or burning the food because of distractions, or maybe even because of lack of experience. According to the manufacturer, the way it works is, you clamp it to the side of a medium-sized pot filled with water, drop in a sealed bag or jar with the food inside of it, and then use the controls on the device or the app on your Android or IOS phone to control and monitor the food. It precisely maintains the desired temperature evenly throughout the contents of the pot. As stated in the description, “Precision Cooking enables you to produce results that are impossible to achieve through any other cooking method”. “Continuous temperature control provides reliable and consistent results every time. Perfect for vegetables, meat, fruit, cheese and much more”.

The app that connects via both WiFi and Bluetooth allows you to set the desired temperature and other functions, and even alerts you when the dish is “good to go”.

If you are interested in purchasing the Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker, you can pick one up at Amazon for $128.96.
