Pyropets are a Valentine’s Day gift for your goth sweetheart

NEWS – If your Valentine is a little more unique than the typical girl or boy next door, then here’s a Valentine’s Day gift idea that might be a hit. Pyropets are animal shaped wax candles with a hidden surprise inside. Shaped like a cat, unicorn, stag, bird, rabbit, and more, these colorful geometric candles look ordinary until you light them and let them burn for a while. They will slowly transform from a cute animal into a creepy metal skeleton with flames shooting out of their eyes. What could be more romantic than that?

There are 12 unique animal Pyropet candles to choose from with prices that range from $19.99 up to $40.00. Head over to us.54celsius.com and Amazon for more info and to order. You might want to bookmark the page so you can go back for Halloween.

New gadgets to your door monthly with Tech2u.club

NEWS – Jonesing for some new gadgets and gizmos, but don’t have time to find the newest tech? Kickstarter campaign Tech2U.club plans to solve that problem for you. Tech2U offers a curated, monthly consumer electronics subscription club.  Think Watch Gang for tech nerds.

They promise to bring their members, “new, unique and practical tech”  with three membership options:

  • $70 for one month
  • $180 for three months ($60/mo)
  • $300 for six months ($50/mo)

Their focus is on new, fun and practical tech that their members will be able to put into use in their everyday lives.  Sounds a little like what us Gadgeteers look for every day! The first month’s box promises to contain practical items like a security camera, phone holder, aux cable as well as a fun 3D drawing pen with a total claimed value of over $159.

The Kickstarter campaign is still in its infancy with only four backers and $921 of a $30,000 goal raised as of this writing. Their main listed risk is getting too few (under 100) members to be able to provide access to the tech they want to provide to members. The funding period is scheduled to end on March 22, 2019 with subscription deliveries starting in April 2019. Does this sound interesting to you?  You can learn more about the campaign on Kickstarter.

Krossblade’s SkyProwler2 gives you a lot of drone to play with

NEWS – Quadcopters are popular these days not in small part because they are easy to fly.  If you’re looking for a step up in complexity and capability, take a look at Krossblade’s recently announced SkyProwler2.  It’s a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drone, which means that four arms with horizontal propellers, just like a quadcopter, come out for a vertical takeoff or landing, and then the arms then retract, allowing it fly fixed-wing like a plane.  And it can fly, reaching speeds up to 80 mph.

The SkyProwler has a range of 55 miles and a max ceiling of 16,500 ft.  It can fly for about an hour while carrying a 1.1 pound payload, and its radio controller works up to 10 miles away.  The drone can be upgraded with a nose-mounted, stabilized camera for taking 4K video at 30 fps or 16 MP stills.

If the SkyProwler is a step up in complexity, it’s also a step up in price.  When you submit an order on Krossblade’s website, it will arrive in 4 weeks and set you back three grand; yep, the retail price of this gadget is $2,999.  This price does, however, give you a lot of bang for your buck, as it includes the radio controller, two Android tablets (one with ground control software and another for the video feed), a briefcase-like carrying case, two batteries, and a charger, and various spare parts.  The camera upgrade is another $999. You can put in your order at Krossblade’s online store.
