Aerate wine twice with the Twist Decanter

Some wines benefit from extra aeration, more than you would get from just pouring a glass from the bottle.  Other wines benefit from decanting to remove sediment – and of course, decanting provides some extra aeration, too.  If you want to be sure your wine is good and aerated before serving, you need the Twist Decanter.

The decanter is made of borosilicate glass with a stainless base.  Its indented, swooping shape increases the aeration as you pour the wine from the bottle.  Those same features aerate again when you pour a glass.

The Twist Decanter is available in a 12.7 ounce size (8.75″ tall x 4″ diameter) to hold about half a bottle of wine for $29.99 or a 25 ounce size (11.4″ tall x 5.3″ diameter) to hold a full bottle of wine for $49.99.  Purchase the Twist Decanter at UncommonGoods.

The Poweradd ChargerCenter portable generator can power your essential gadgets thru the next storm


A few years ago when Hurricane Sandy tore through New York City, I was one of the folks who listened to the initial reports from officials, and based on previous hurricane forecasts, felt that the supplies I usually kept at home would be enough for the possible few hours of power outages I expected. Much to my surprise, and to the surprise of most New Yorkers, the devastation to the power grid was much worse, and the few hours of blackout turned into 14 days.

As a techie, I had a couple of small USB power packs fully charged and at the ready, but by the second day, they were fully depleted with no way of recharging them in the house. I then started charging my phones in my truck, but it was low on fuel, and I watched the fuel gauge drop lower as my phones got a relatively minimal amount of charge.

Determined to never be in that situation again, I have kept an eye out for better charging solutions. Just today, I was online and I looked at the Poweradd ChargerCenter, Compact 185Wh/50000mAh Portable Generator, Power Source (DC 5V/12V/19V) with AC Power Inverter (115V/100W). This power source is good for outdoor power when camping and hiking, etc, but I am more interested in it for my indoor needs during the next power outage or storm. With its 50000mAh battery and its 110 volt inverter, it can keep power going to all of my mobile devices, and even a small refrigerator (up to 100 watts). However, I figure that if I restrict it to charging and powering my mobile devices, I should get days of power from it. While I would obviously test this product before committing to it as my “go to” backup source, its specifications certainly look very promising.

If you would like to read more about the Poweradd ChargerCenter, Compact 185Wh/50000mAh Portable Generator, Power Source (DC 5V/12V/19V) with AC Power Inverter (115V/100W, or you would like to purchase one, head over to Amazon and check it out. It sells for $149.99.

Raven dash cam looks like the ultimate car gadget

Why buy multiple gadgets for your car that each only does one thing when you can buy one gadget that can do it all. The Raven connected car system looks like it might be just such a gadget. First of all, it’s a 1080p dash cam. But it’s not a typical dash cam because it has a front and a rear-facing camera.

The Raven also offers a distraction-free customizable line-of-sight display that provides trip info like your next turn, ETA, and more. This device also offers a WiFi hotspot, real-time remote viewing, vehicle location, trip reports, and more.

The Raven is priced at $299 for the camera and if you want the LTE features, the basic service plan which uses T-Mobile and starts at $8 per month and up to $32 a month for the pro plan that provides 720p live streaming. The camera comes with 3 months of free LTE service. Head over to raven.is for more info and you can order one from Amazon.

Cure your tension headache with a hook

If you get a lot of tension headaches (not migraines), the Relēver tool might become your new best friend. Made in the USA, the Relēver is a specially designed “hook” that you can use to relieve headaches by stretching your jaw muscles. Why does that help? Apparently many headaches actually begin in your jaw due to grinding your teeth, chewing gum, and day to day anxieties and stress. The Relēver tool hooks behind your teeth so you can pull down to give your jaw muscles a nice stretch to relieve tension without drugs. The Relēver headache relief tool comes in several colors and is priced at $15. You can get one on thegrommet.com

With the Nebula Capsule Smart Mini Projector, you can always take the show on the road


I must admit that as a self-confessed gadget nerd and techie, I am always looking for some sort of device to add a new level of technology, and sometimes a balance of ease versus complexity to my work processes, and to just about any and everything I do.

Today I was reading about a nice little but powerful gadget called the Nebula Capsule Smart Mini Projector. This is a soda can type design mini projector that is made by Anker, and it is touted as being a portable high-contrast pocket cinema device with built-in WiFi, and a 360 degree omnidirectional speaker. It is capable of projecting an image up to 100 inches, and its battery will last for up to 4 hours. Its operating system is Android 7.1, and there is an app that can be used to control all of its functions. The specifications state that the “DLP’s advanced IntelliBright algorithms deliver a remarkably bright (100 ANSI lumens), vivid picture”. It is very portable weighing in at only 15 ounces, and yet it still provides seamless connectivity utilizing its built-in HDMI port, or USB port, or via screen mirroring.

You can purchase the Nebula Capsule Smart Mini Projector by Anker on Amazon for $349.
