Even giant bags need a clip to keep them closed

NEWS – What do you do after you open a bag of chips? If you don’t eat all of them, you find a clip to keep the bag closed and the chips fresh. But for larger bags of things like charcoal, potting soil, bird seed, dog food, etc, it’s hard to find a clip that’s large enough to hold those types of bags closed. That’s where the Handy Camel Clip comes into play.

These US made giant clips from Handy Camel are made of sturdy polypropylene plastic and specially designed keep oversized bags closed and that’s not all. They are so heavy duty that they provide a handle that will let you carry and pour from the heavy bags.

The clips are available in 2 sizes – Regular (16.5 inches wide) and Mini (10 inches wide). The regular size is rated for up to 50 lbs and the smaller clip is rated for 10 lbs. They are priced around $19.99 for two of the regular size clip or a pack of 4 of the mini clips. You can buy them from Handy Camel or Amazon.

The Piper Command Center is a gaming controller your child can build and program

NEWS – Earlier this week, Piper launched a new DIY game controller kit called the Piper Command Center. The Piper Command Center is a build-it-yourself video game controller kit for kids ages 13 and up that teaches them how to build their own game controller.

The kit comes with everything you need for assembly and is powered by an Arduino micro which is compatible with Raspberry Pi just like the Piper Computer Kit. Once it’s assembled, kids can use the game controller with their favorite desktop games on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

The Piper Command Center kit teaches important STEM skills and allows kids to apply their understanding of electronic components into the realm of gaming and other real-life applications.

The kit is priced at $49.99 and is available now from Piper.

Playdate is a game system with a b&w screen and a crank. Shut up and take my money!

NEWS – Do I consider myself a gamer? Heck no! The most exciting gaming that I’ve done lately has been a rousing game of Words With Friends on my phone. #Sad. That doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate when something new and interesting comes along and the Playdate certainly looks interesting.

Playdate is a handheld gaming system from Panic, a company who has been making macOS and iOS software for 20 years. The device features a hi-resolution 400 x 270 pixel 2.7-inch black and white display, a traditional D-pad controller, and a crank. Yes, a crank! The crank is an analog controller that looks wonky as heck but that’s what makes the Playdate interesting. How the heck will it work and what will the games be like?

It looks cool as heck and I want one right now! But unfortunately, Playdate isn’t available yet. We won’t be able to get our hands on one until 2020. ARGH! But when it is available, it will set you back $149 and you’ll receive a new game for it at no extra charge each week for 12 weeks. Want to know more? Head over to the play.date site and sign up to be notified when the device is available
