The Sand Drink Holder keeps sand where it belongs – on the beach

As I sit here looking out my window at another cool, rainy spring day here in the Midwest my thoughts start to wander to warmer summer days relaxing at the beach or lake. One essential for this kind of day is a cold beverage. But where do you place that cold beverage when sitting on a blanket or in your favorite lawn chair?

Spiker has the answer. Anchor it, with the Sand Drink Holder.

Instant cup holder

The Sand Drink Holder is a made in the USA beach cup holder. Its spiked base anchors into the sand and keeps the top elevated, so your beverages stay clean and dry. And it also keeps your COLD drink out of the HOT sand.

This cup holder isn’t just for drinks. Measuring ( 8″ x 4” in diameter) it’s large enough to hold things like your keys, sunscreen, sunglasses, phone and other essentials keeping them off the ground and at hand. And because it’s dishwasher safe keeping it clean is easy too.

The Sand Drink Holder from Spiker is sold individually for $9.95 or you can get a set of four for $24.95. FYI, the individual holder is only available in gray so if you want to add some color the four-pack is the way to go.

You can purchase both at thegrommet.com.

The iLi Translator has all the right answers


Whenever I am in my photography “zone” and I am brainstorming about future shoots and locations, I get very excited about the photo opportunities that I have seen via television shows, or from pictures taken by other photographers. I also understand that to get to some of those locations, there will be much travel through unknown terrain, and I get really fearful when I think about the challenges of possibly trying to navigate while in places with people who do not speak my language. While traveling with expensive gear and not being really sure of where I am going, I would really like to know what I am being told, especially if I have to depend on a native guide.

Researching my options, I came up with the iLi Translator. This little gem is a one-way translator. While it only supports translation for three languages; Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese, it would work for me because those languages are native to several of the countries that I would love to travel to for photography. The iLi Translator has a small footprint, and translates from English to any one of the three languages. It works completely offline, with no Wi-Fi required. It has a fast response time of 0.2 seconds to translate a word, and it is basically optimized for travel. While it is obvious that this device will not work for everyone, especially because of its language limitations, I may still give it a try for my relevant trips. One major negative for me might be the one-way aspect that makes me have to construct all of my questions to get yes or no responses. Something that can translate responses back to me in English may work better for me.

If the iLi Translator is a fit for you, head over to the Iamili website where you can learn more about it and purchase one for $199.

Your search for the perfect chin-supporting travel pillow is over

When you’re a passenger in a plane, train, or automobile, you may find yourself dozing off.  And then when you wake after sleeping slumped forward, you probably suffer from a stressed neck and shoulders from sleeping with your neck unsupported.  BCOZZY says their travel pillow is the one you need – the one that will fit, will support your head and prevent pain, and that will help you sleep restfully.

The BCOZZY Chin Supporting Travel Pillow is more supportive than those bead-filled  cushions.  Its flat back doesn’t push your head forward, the adjustable chin support function stops your head from falling forward, and booster side cushions help keep your head in a comfortable position.  BCOZZY even makes carrying it easier, because the cushion has a snap strap on the back so you can clip it to your carryon.

And FYI, you can use the pillow at home for more comfortable naps there, too.  Also, BCOZZY says:

“We are proud and thrilled to hear that the BCOZZY pillow is helping not just travelers but also people with disabilities like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer or with other neck and back problems that are forcing them to sit and sleep in a chair, elderly people that find it hard to hold their head and those who use it daily for lounging and relaxing their neck and shoulders after a long day at work.“

BCOZZY is available in sizes for adults or children in black, red, navy, gray, purple, or pink.  Normal price is $49.97, but the travel pillows are available now for $29.97.  Get your pillows at the BCOZZY website.

The Imuto 10-in-1 USB-C hub gives you all of the connectivity that you need


In my home studio, I currently have 4 USB hubs connected to my main computer, for a total of 18 data transfer and 3 charging ports, not including the 8 USB ports that are built-in to the computer. Despite that reasonable number of ports, I still find myself saying that I need another USB hub because I have more devices I need to connect. For me, convenience is very important, and being able to grab photos or videos off of a client’s USB hub very quickly is a must, and I must be able to do so without plugging something out to accommodate it.

My USB port needs also extend to my laptops and when I am mobile. In this case, I need the hub to be a multifunction hub, so that I can carry fewer devices and still have great capability and connectivity.

The Imuto 10-in-1 USB-C hub is exactly such a device. This multifunctional hub has 1 USB-C PD 2.0 port, 1 wireless charging pad, 1 USB Type-C to HDMI 2.0 4K output port, and 7 high speed USB 3.0 ports for data transfer and charging. All of the ports can function simultaneously, with the 7 USB ports capable of data transfers up to 5 Gbps, and the 4K HDMI providing a constant and stable resolution of up to 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz. Imuto also stands behind their product by including an 18-month warranty.

You can purchase the Imuto 10-in-1 USB-C Hub at Amazon for $59.99.
