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.

Make your MacBook stand out in a crowd

Toast is usually known for their beautiful wood cases and covers for laptops, phones, and tablets, but they are offering something different this time.  They have produced beautiful leather covers for 13″ MacBook Air, 13″ MacBook Pro (with or without the touch bar), and the 15″ MacBook Pro (with or without the touch bar).

They start with a beautiful piece of genuine leather, laser-cut it to precisely fit your laptop, then hand-finish the leather to enhance the texture and the color.  They even laser-cut a pattern of tiny perforations on the back side of the cover to prevent trapping air bubbles underneath during application.  You can request they cut out the Apple logo on the top cover, or you can have the cover customized with your artwork or text.  The covers apply with a long-lasting adhesive that removes easily without leaving behind a residue.

Choose from 10 saturated colors, including two metallic colors.  Each top cover is $99.00; add a bottom cover for $60.00  and a trackpad surround for $30.00.  Customize and order your MacBook cover from Toast.

Apple offers free month of larger iCloud storage plans

Apple offers free trials of larger iCloud accounts

Apple has begun promoting free 1-month trials of paid, higher storage iCloud subscriptions to customers currently on the standard free 5GB plan.

The promotion is limited to users who are on the entry-level (and rather paltry) 5GB storage plan. The 50GB, 200GB and 2TB tiers typically run $0.99, $2.99 and $9.99 per month, respectively.

Anyone who takes a lot of photos and/or has their iPhone set to back up to their iCloud storage will very quickly find themselves running out of storage, and those are exactly the kind of people that Apple hopes to snag with this free-for-a-month upgrade promotion.

As someone with multiple devices tied to my iCloud account, I was almost immediately forced to upgrade to the 50GB plan, which used to be only 20GB for the same price not so long ago. It’s an easy 99¢ to spend every month, and I’m sure there will be a lot of iPhone owners that would agree after trying out the larger storage options.
