Atari makes my childhood dream come true 40 yrs later

When I was a kid, I spent countless hours sitting on my bed gripping an Atari 2600 gaming controller while playing Centipede, Missile Command, Breakout, Pong and other games. I’d go to bed at night still seeing blocky game graphics animate behind my eyelids. The Atari 2600 was my first taste of video games and I was hooked. The only thing better than the Atari 2600 in those days would have been a version that I could have carried with me. Now I can relive those days the Atari Flashback Portable.

The Atari Flashback Portable is a version of the iconic Atari 2600 gaming console but in a pocket-friendly handheld form factor.

The Flashback Portable features a 3.2″ color display, a rechargeable battery, a built-in gaming controller, and 60 classic games built into the device. But wait, there’s more! The Flashback also has an SD card slot that allows you to load other game ROMs. And for those times when you want to enjoy the games on a larger screen, you can connect it to a TV.

The Atari Flashback Portable is priced at $49.99 and can be purchased through Amazon.

Renovo Hardwood Bicycles introduces the John Day

When you think about the construction of a bicycle, you probably think of high tech light weight metals and materials like carbon fiber. But wood is probably not a material that comes to mind when you k about bicycles. After you take a look at the new John Day bicycle from Renovo Hardwood Bicycles, that will change – forever.

The Renovo John Day is a mixed terrain road bike that can smoothly switch from paved roads to gravel roads due to its vibration damping features.

Made of Black Walnut, Spruce, the JD’s frame is hollow, allowing it to be lightweight, nimble and durable.

The hollow frame also allows for a more streamlined look. Notice anything missing from the images above? The cables… They are hidden inside the wooden frame.

The John Day Renovo Hardwood Bicycle is not your average Walmart or even Schwinn special. It will set you back a cool $6150 (or more) if you want a fully built bike. Or if you’re feeling frugal, you can opt for just the frame for $4250.

You can read more about the John Day and other gorgeous wooden bicycles at renovobikes.com

For in-flight convenience, Walter + Ray TAB bags fit in the seatback in front of you

I only fly once or twice a year, but when I do, it’s a hassle to get to my gear when my bag is either in an overhead bin or under the seat in front of me. These bags from Walter + Ray solve that problem by putting your gear in a much better location, the seatback pocket in front of you.

Walter + Ray offer a few styles of TAB Seatback Organizer bags.

The Slim Onboard Organizer and Travel Bag is shown in the two images above, features a narrow shape with a magnetic flap that hangs down over the seatback pocket to hold your phone and other small items. The bag offers RFID protection, and there’s even a hook for your headphones.

There are also versions of the TAB bag made in calfskin like the one shown above and below.

All of the Walter + Ray TAB bags have an organization panel and pockets that hold pens, a notebook, passport, cables, tablets and more.

I have no idea why you’d want to carry golf tees with you, but hey, golfers are crazy 😉

The TAB bags are priced starting at $49.95 and go up to $145.00 for the leather versions. For more info about the TAB bags, visit walterandray.com and you can order one from The Grommet and Amazon.
