The Dechoker is a plunger for humans

NEWS – Ok, I know that the title of this post is silly, but that’s what this product reminds me of. Seriously though, have you ever been in a situation where someone was choking or maybe you were choking on something and no one was around to help you.

Most people know that the standard way to help someone in a choking emergency is to apply the Heimlich maneuver which is an abdominal thrust that uses the air in the person’s lungs to expel whatever is lodged in their airway. But what if it doesn’t work or you are all alone and can’t do that maneuver to yourself?

The Dechoker was invented just for those reasons and features a face mask and a plunger that uses suction to dislodge the blockage from the person’s airway. The Dechoker is available in sizes for infants, children, and adults and is priced at $79.95. Visit dechoker.com and Amazon for more info.

Rock ‘N Bowl slows down your dogs eating and makes mealtime fun

NEWS – If your dog has a tendency like mine does to inhale their food at feeding time, slowing them down can be a challenge. The Rock ’N Bowl Dog Feeder was designed to not only slow them down but to make mealtime a playful, engaging challenge.

Rock ’N Bowl is part food bowl, part puzzle. The top of the feeder has holes that allow some of the food to fall through into a compartment underneath. In order for your dog to get to the remaining food, they must nudge and rock the bowl to get it to fall out of the holes in the bottom. This not only helps slow and extend eating time but, it also helps to stimulate your pup’s mind.

It takes an everyday activity like food time and makes it more fun and challenging.

The bowl comes apart for easy cleaning and is even top rack dishwasher safe.

The Rock ’N Bowl Dog Feeder comes in two colors blue and orange. It sells for $19.95 and is available from The Grommet.

Get your geek on with NatGeo’s new series Valley of the Boom

NEWS – National Geographic is back with another limited series in the same style as the Mars series I told you about last fall. This time the show isn’t about outer space, it’s about the internet in the 90s when regular people like you and I first started learning about the World Wide Web, @ symbols, and more. The show is called Valley of the Boom and it is a “mostly” true account of the days before there was a Google, Facebook, or YouTube and when a little web browser called Netscape that started the browser wars.

Just like MARS, Valley of the Boom mixes a scripted storyline with actors like Bradley Whitford, Steve Zahn, and Lamorne Morris, with short documentary segments with the actual people that these actors are portraying. The series shares behind the scenes stories that happened during the dot-com tech gold rush and for nerds like me, this series is an entertaining trip down memory lane not long before The Gadgeteer was just starting getting started.

Valley of the Boom is a six-episode series that started last Sunday. Two episodes are available to stream right now and two more will be released each Sunday for the next two weeks. Head over to nationalgeographic.com to watch now.
