Show your gamer girl she’s your Final Fantasy with this engagement ring

Even if she’s not much of a dedicated gamer girl, she’ll probably like this beautiful engagement ring from the MetalWendler shop on Etsy.  The Final Fantasy 7 engagement ring is customizable with your choice of metals.  The center stone is conflict-free Moissanite, so your conscience is clear with this purchase.

Metal choices are sterling silver, yellow or white gold, or palladium 950.  The band is 4mm at the widest point, then tapers down to 2.5mm at the back; it’s 5.75 mm at the stone bezel.  It’s available with either a polished or a brushed satin finish.  The center stone is a 5mm (0.45ct) round Forever One Moissanite stone, flanked with two 2mm round lab-created sapphire accent stones.  Meteor details on side of ring complete the design.

Pricing starts at $520 for sterling sliver and goes up to $1250.00.  Sizes available are 3.5 – 11 (US sizing).  It’s very important to get your size right, so the seller can send you a ring-sizing kit at a reasonable price before you finalize your ring details.  The ring is made for you, so allow 4-6 weeks from order to ship date.  Learn more about the Final Fantasy 7 engagement ring at the MetalWendler shop on Etsy.

Enhance your outdoor activities with new Zungle smart sunglasses

As a glasses wearer, I know that wearing any type of earphone with the glasses can be uncomfortable at best.  Zungle takes care of that problem by incorporating Bluetooth headphones into the frame of their sunglasses themselves.  And they added a dedicated A. I. Voice Assistant button that launches Siri or Google Assistant automatically.  Zungle has new, second versions of both their Viper (square-shaped lenses) and Lynx (rounded-shape lenses) sunglasses available for pre-order now.  Read on for more details about these new sunglasses.

Zungle sunglasses are powered by two 3.7V 120mAh lithium power batteries that charge in less than one hour by Pogo-pin charging.  The batteries provide 4 hours of play time and 100 hours of standby time.  With an IPX4 sweat-resistance rating, you’ll be safely able to wear these smart sunglasses even while you’re working out.

Zungle uses Bluetooth 5.0 (A2DP profile 1.3 / HFP profile 1.7 / HSP profile 1.2) to connect to any smartphone, tablet, or computer with Bluetooth functionality.  The wireless range is 30 feet.  Not only will you be able to listen to music, but you’ll also be able to make and take phone calls, too.

Since using earphones that block ambient sounds can be dangerous in outdoor environments, Zungle protects your awareness of your surroundings with an open-ear solution to allow you to ride a bike or run without sacrificing sound quality or safety.  They use new Vibra speakers with stronger dual-spring bone conduction speakers on each leg.  This new sound system was developed through Zungle’s partnership with a speaker manufacturer that also produces devices for major tech companies like Samsung and Sony.

The dedicated A. I. Voice Assistant button on one leg connects you with Siri or Google Assistant with a single click.

The frames measure 5.6 x 6.3 x 2 inches and weigh 1.8 ounces.  Zungle has designed the Viper (second image) and Lynx (first image) glasses with replaceable front frames.  They’ll be launching a front-frames subscription plan as they design new frames, so you can mix up the appearance of your glasses.

The lenses are UV400 / Polarized and FDA-certified.  Viper glasses are available with a matte black, matte gray, or matte white frame and eight lens colors to select from.  Lynx glasses have matte black or matte gray frames with two lens colors.  Additional replacement lenses can be purchased for $19.99 for either frame.

Right now, Zungle is offering pre-orders for these version 2.0 sunglasses.  The Viper glasses and two extra sets of lenses have a limited-time price of $109.99 for pre-orders, with the price increasing as the pre-order period expires.  Normal price is $189.99 for Viper with no extra lenses.  Lynx glasses start at $139.99 in the limited-time period, with the price increasing through the pre-order period.  Normal price is $189.99 for Lynx.  Zungle says these pre-orders will be among the earliest sent out when the shipments begin in July.  Learn more and pre-order your sunglasses now at the Zungle website.

The RIF6 CUBE Mobile Pico Projector lets you watch a movie or video anywhere and at anytime!


For the past two months, I have written a few news stories about projectors of various sizes and specifications. As summer approaches for us here in the USA, barbecues, and picnics, and movie nights become more frequent, with the idea of watching a movie popping up at various unplanned times, and sometimes at unplanned locations. These days, technology has allowed us the necessary portability to be ready to project a movie at any moment. In addition to being able to project the movie, most folks expect a decent level of quality.

The RIF6 CUBE Mobile Pico Projector is a mini portable HD 2-inch Video Projector that comes in a ready-to-go package that includes built In Speakers. It measures just 2 inches by 2 inches by 1.9 inches, and yet it offers LED DLP projection with 50 lumens with a lifespan of 20,000 hours. It can display a screen size of up to 120 inches, and has several inputs including USB, HDMI, and MHL. It allows you to mirror from your Smartphone, laptop, tablet, streaming device, etc, and it has flexible legs that allow you to adjust the position for the best viewing. The internal battery lasts for up to 90 minutes.

If you would like to take a closer look at The RIF6 CUBE Mobile Pico Projector, it is available on Amazon for $220.38.

Life is also too short for dumb coffee tables!

We recently told you about the Sobro smart nightstands Indiegogo project.  (My geek side won out over my design plan, and I’m waiting for my pledge for two of the nightstands to be fulfilled in October of this year.)  As it turns out, Sobro already has some experience with smart furniture, because they also used crowd-funding to launch their Sobro Coffee Table last year.  This smart coffee table is the ideal piece for your TV or game room.

The Coffee Table has a 22″ x 11″ x 7″ refrigerator drawer that can keep up to 32 drinks cold.  It also has two built-in Bluetooth speakers with enhanced sound and bass, and it has 2 USB charging ports and four 120V power outlets to keep your phones, remotes, and other devices charged.  Underneath is an LED fixture for mood lighting or for a nightlight.   A tempered glass top has built-in touch screen controls to control all the functions of the table without having to download an app to your phone or tablet.

And the table even has two storage drawers to hold your remotes, coasters, game controllers, cables – even your old-school TV Guide, if those things still exist in a paper format.

The Sobro Coffee Table measures 43.1″ x 22.8″ x 22.8″ and weighs 100 pounds.  It is available in all white (second photo), all black, or black with woodgrain (top photo).  You can purchase directly from Sobro for $1499.00 for any color or at Amazon for $1299.00 for the white and woodgrain or $1499.00 for the all black model.

The Fat Gecko Camera and Camcorder Mount will keep your weighty cameras safe


Another one of my passions is writing, filming and producing short films. I have only worked on one so far, but I have several more planned for the future. One of my scripts includes a scene in an SUV, where I need to mount sizeable and somewhat weighty video cameras at various positions on the external of the vehicle, including on the hood, and on the sides of the driver and passenger doors. Obviously, a major concern is the ability to do so and ensure that there is no damage to the quite expensive video and audio equipment that will be mounted.

My search for a very safe, budget-friendly solution led me to the Fat Gecko Camera and Camcorder Mount. These mounts come in various sizes for various applications, but the focus of this news story is safety and the “bang for the buck” for this specific model, primarily because it is designed for cameras and rigs that weigh up to 8 pounds. This capability makes it more eligible for professional productions, with the ability to mount a large variety of professional video cameras and DSLR cameras. As with these types of gear, it can be mounted to any flat surface, and with this model via the dual 3-inch diameter suction cups, which do a great job of creating a strong and secure bond that will hold even when the vehicle is moving. This mount is designed to reduce vibration, and with the 3 adjustment points and the ball head, it allows for great versatility.

The Fat Gecko Camera and Camcorder Mount is available for purchase at Amazon or B&H Photo Video for $65.
