Want a pet but are always on the go? Sony reintroduces the AIBO

I remember back in 1989 when Sony introduced the first AIBO (Artificial Intelligence Robot) to the world, I thought wow I wish I could get one of those. Sadly after about six years and several iterations of the AIBO Sony discontinued the manufacturing of the AIBO. If you missed your chance to get an AIBO during the 90s and 2000s, Sony has announced the reintroduction of the AIBO. The new AIBO has a refined look from the older model but still functions on the same premise of learning through interaction with its owners. The new AIBO model ERS-1000 has a 64bit Quad-Core CPU, OLED eyes, 4 microphones and 2 cameras, it is also cute. The new AIBO is scheduled to be released January 11, 2018, for a price of approximately $1745.85 (¥198000) and you will need a basic 3-year service plan (this is used to update and grow the AIBO) that will cost approximately $793.57 (¥90000). If you want to check out this new AIBO hop on over to the AIBO Sony website.

Dress your new iPhone X in blue jeans with this unique case

Here’s something you don’t see every day. An iPhone case made out of blue jeans. Yes, you read that right I said blue jeans. The ‘Solid Denim’ iPhone case designed by the small UK company Mosevic, is made out of layers of denim that is infused with a carefully selected resin resulting in a composite material that is durable, shock absorbing and flexible, perfect for building high quality, striking and tactile iPhone cases. Another unique thing about this case is that it’s made using denim from recycled jeans. Mosevic takes discarded and damaged jeans and reclaims the denim fabric. Each handmade case is built from layers of different denim, making every single case unique. Add some soft plastic buttons to control power and volume and you have a pretty cool and definitely unique iPhone case. You can pre-order the case right now on Mosevic’s website for $52.50. It will be available for the iPhone X, 8, 8 Plus, 7 and 7 Plus models and will start shipping the week of November 27th. Just in time for the Holidays.

Protect your laptop in a fast machine!

This laptop sleeve is from Velomacchi, a company whose name is based loosely on two Italian words, Velocità Macchina, which roughly translates to “fast machine”.  The Speedway 13″-15″ Impact Laptop Sleeve  helps “keep your laptop protected from high-speed slides and clean from debris.”  The sleeve is made with a 1680D ballistic nylon exterior, a high-impact foam core, hard-shell panels for reinforcement on primary surfaces and corners, and lined with a low-static microfiber material.  It’s all held closed with a Hypalon/Velcro tab with a TPU-laminated handle.  The quilted exterior makes this 16.5” X 11.5” sleeve a very handsome case for a 13″ to 15″ laptop.  The Speedway 13″-15″ Impact Laptop Sleeve is $49.00 from Velomacchi.

Be the center of the solar system with this necklace

Inspired by Julie’s post about the solar system marbles, I have been searching for similar items.  I found a vendor on Etsy that uses sterling silver wire and stone beads to create solar system jewelry, like this necklace.  The necklace has a selectable length of 15.75″ to 19.7″.  The planets are natural stone beads made of:  smokey quartz, coral, azurite, red agate, labradorite, lace agate, sand jasper, dark blue turquoise, and light blue turquoise.  Naturally, the stones are not sized to scale; the artist has chosen sizes that show differences between the planets but still remain wearable.  You can choose a necklace representing only the eight planets for $96.00, or you can add Pluto ($99.00) or all of the dwarf planets ($111.00).  Buy the Solar System Necklace, or check out all of MirielDesign‘s offerings on Etsy.

Samsung’s Chef Collection proves that the future of kitchens is customizeable

Samsung has been making a name for themselves lately by taking kitchen appliances and transforming them into essentially gigantic gadgets – for example, their Family Hub 2.0 smart fridge has a large touchscreen display at the center of it which helps transform the fridge into the center of the kitchen. Their new Chef Collection however turns down the flashiness a bit by offering a more sophisticated set of appliances which can be customized to fit into your home’s design aesthetic. To that effect, the Chef Collection’s fridge foregoes a large display and instead it can be installed a built-in. The Chef’s Collection dishwasher and refrigerator can also be customized with panels to match the look and feel of your kitchen. 

Samsung’s Chef Collection fridge has 3 View Inside cameras which you can access from anywhere

That’s not to say that the appliances in their new Chef Collection aren’t high tech – because they are. All of the appliances are Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled and be can controlled with an app. The new Samsung Chef Collection 4-Door Flex Built-in Refrigerator packs in three View Inside cameras which let you see what’s in your fridge – even while you’re shopping at the supermarket. Can’t remember if you need milk? Not a problem! The 4-Door Flex also has a Flex Zone compartment which is able to convert from being a fridge to a freezer, and vice versa, all with the touch of a button.

You can control your oven from your phone

The induction cooktop in the Chef Collection uses Virtual Flame technology which provides chefs with the visual look and feel of a real fire. The knobs on the cooktop also removable. Leave them on if you prefer an analog look, or remove them to go completely digital. Last but not least, the Flex Duo Oven has a smart divider that lets you essentially transform a single oven into two separate independent convection ovens that cook multiple dishes at different temperatures at the same time. The oven’s temperature can be controlled and monitored with an app.

All of the models in the Chef Collection are available now in a choice of stainless steel or matte black stainless steel.
