Observe an eclipse every day in your own home with the Eclipse Fixed Sconce

NEWS – I like uniquely designed home furnishings as well as sciencey stuff. The Eclipse Fixed Sconce is both – a unique sconce that looks like an eclipse! This beautiful sconce by Philippe Malouin is made of brass, aluminum, and glass and comes in black chrome, chrome, and polished brass colors. It has a non-dimmable 3.5 watt integrated LED (200 lumens/2700 Kelvin color temperature) and measures 6 in./16 cm H x 6 in./16 cm W x 5 in./12 cm D. But before you get all excited and pull out your wallet to order, you’ll want to know that it costs… wait-for-it… $1000 from Roll & Hill. Did I hear you gasp? Yep, me too (and I did not mistakenly add an extra zero there). It is indeed one thousand dollars. I guess innovative designs come at a hefty price. Perhaps there’s a DIY project here for those who aren’t made of money…

Hunt22 tiny UV flashlight has the power to gross you out

CROWDFUNDING NEWS – There is a whole invisible world out there.  Some of it is cool, some of it is eewww.  If you’re inclined to want to see it all, the Hunt22 UV micro flashlight wants to help bring it all into view.

Billed as the world’s coolest UV flashlight, the Hunt22 is indeed tiny.

If you’re an every day carry (EDC) kind of person, at just over an inch long, this little light will have no problem fitting into even an already stuffed EDC kit. It is waterproof and made of essentially crushproof titanium.

The light should be bright enough to be of practical use.  Hunt22 suggests the following:

My thoughts fall back to all the articles about how disgusting hotel rooms are.  This little light could help you determine how quickly you want to call housekeeping on your next check-in and ask to have the bedspread, TV remote, cups, or other room accessories replaced with clean ones.

Hunt22 started as a Kickstarter and after funding, moved to Indiegogo for fulfillment. Pricing runs $32, $51, $66, $113, $184 for a 1, 2, 3, 6, 10 pack respectively.  Shipping is expected in August 2019. For more info, visit Hunt22’s Indiegogo site.

Use this ring knife to open boxes and kill zombies

NEWS – I’m just kidding, the blade on this ring knife isn’t long enough to kill a zombie. At least I don’t think so. Is this a useful knife? Highly doubtful. But this weaponized stainless steel ring will get a conversation started the first time you press the button on the side and the spring loaded blade flips open. And before you say something about TSA. Just don’t. Use common sense and don’t wear something like this to the airport. Duh. Want to learn more or buy one for $24.99 from Haddishop or way cheaper on from AliExpress.

Master & Dynamic goes colorful between new product introductions

NEWS – Over the past (very) few years, Master & Dynamic have managed to come from nowhere to become one of the leading headphone/earphone makers in the country. Their first headphone, the MH40 is a stunning piece of aural art right out of the box. No other headphone looks like them. It’s classic, yet still modern. In between the times when they release new headphone models, M&D continually updates color choices (called colorways) among their existing line and the MW07 true wireless earphone and MW65 active noise canceling (ANC) wireless headphone are no exception.

Like the MH40 headphone, nothing looks like the MW07 earphone. They are hand-made from acetate and are one of—if not the best sounding wireless earphones available. The original four color choices were: Grey terrazzo, tortoiseshell, steel blue, and matte black. Now you can choose from either the original colors or newer hues: White marble, pink coral or piano (gloss) black.

The new colors sound as excellent as the original since nothing has changed on the inside. Here is what I said in my original review of the MW07, “Master & Dynamic have hit it out of the park with their first entry into the wireless earphone arena. If you can afford the steep price of admission, you will be rewarded with a comfortable fit and stellar sound—two things not usually associated with totally wireless earphones. Highly recommended.” Still true. 

In addition, Master & Dynamic has added to the MW65 collection with the new Kevin Durant/Studio 35 Production edition. The MW65/Studio 35 headphone comes with ANC, built-in Google Assistant housed in grey leather and aluminum with orange speaker grills and contrasting red and blue buttons. Here’s what I said in my review of the MW65, “When you combine a comfortable-to-wear headphone with a sound that’s pleasing to just about anyone, it’s a winner. But when you then add superior build quality, Google Assistant and active noise canceling to the mix, you have more than a winner, you have a keeper.”

It’s only a matter of time before Master & Dynamic release a new model. Until then, they will continue to offer new colors and partner with strong personalities for limited editions of award-winning headphones and earphones. The MW07 true wireless earphone retails for $299 and the MW65 ANC Wireless headphone is $499. You can find more info on M&D’s website and order from Amazon.

Feeling Nostalgic? Commodore 64 will Be Released Again by End of Year

Advances in technology are always welcome and are quite exciting, but often this means that our older tech devices get lost in the dust. We dump them off readily for the next big thing. That’s what makes it fun sometimes to remember those old devices we had “back in the day.” You can do more than just remember your old Commodore 64, though, as there are plans to bring it back by the end of the year. Rebirth of Commodore 64 Are you suddenly remembering your first foray into computing and possibly gaming? Chances are… Read more
