Get a cool foldable Bluetooth keyboard as a stocking stuffer

Do you need ideas for stocking stuffers or perhaps a gift for the office Christmas party? The BATTOP Upgrade Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard with Kickstand may be the ticket. It’s not your typical foldable keyboard. This one folds lengthwise. What a great idea! It works with iOS, Android, and Windows devices. You’ll have to use a key combination to select operating systems: FN+Q for Android devices, FN+E for iOS devices, and FN+W for Windows devices. In addition, you’ll get about 40 hours of use before you have to charge it using the provided USB cable. The keyboard will also go into power savings mode if it is idle for more than 12 minutes and pressing any key will wake the keyboard. When unfolded it measures 9.25″ x 6.29″ x 0.19″, and when folded it measures 9.25″ x 2.16″ x 0.72″. The BATTOP Upgrade Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard with Kickstand normally costs $26.99 but if you use the code VXXFCUVF, it will only cost you $15.92 on Amazon.

Make your own plea to Obi Wan with Litiholo

NEWS – While R2-D2 may make producing a hologram look easy enough, in reality, it is a technically challenging procedure. A laser and a recording plate must be set up so that the interference pattern that occurs when light returning from a laser-light illuminated object is captured. The laser and object being recorded must not be moved more than a micrometer. Normally a laser lab is required in order to provide the power to the laser, the precise optical arrangement and the motion isolating apparatus. A few years ago, Janet Cloninger reported that a DIY Litiholo kit was available on the Litiholo website. Now, this home laser holography kit is available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. 

Not to be confused with a mirascope which uses parabolic mirrors to create a holographic illusion or a 3D hologram pyramid for your smartphone, the Litiholo is a real laser hologram. The Hologram Kit is an invention of Paul Christie, an MIT Media Lab grad. Christie says “Our research lab was doing amazing things with holograms…but the equipment would take up an entire basement, and you had to be an MIT student to understand it!” Christie created the Hologram Kit because he wanted a way for individuals to make their own holograms without all the complexity and cost of a lab.

The Hologram Kit creates real 3D laser holograms and is a fun and educational experience for both kids and adults. Each kit can make up to 20 holograms and provides a step-by-step guide through the process as well as additional background on the science of holography. The Hologram Kit is being carried in 330 Barnes & Noble stores across the US and retails for $129.99. The same kit is also being sold on Amazon for $110.00 while supplies last.

Go modular with Black Ember WPRT backpacks

NEWS – Even if I’m not hunting for new backpacks, they have a way of finding me. Black Ember’s newest release is called WPRT and is available in both a minimal and a modular version. I’m a sucker for modularity and really dig the way they’ve approached it here making it compatible with their earlier Citadel collection. From the clean lines and sturdy waterproof construction with rolltop to the fit adjustability and all the ways you can customize accessories this one is on my radar.

It’s on Kickstarter now and already fully funded. Campaign and early bird pricing will close on Dec. 29th if you’re interested. Should you pick one up, let me know what you think.

Let the GeekHeat personal ceramic heater keep you toasty this winter

NEWS – Back in the summer, I wrote about the GeekAire rechargeable portable fan now, meet its toasty sibling – GeekHeat. GeekHeat is a personal ceramic heater that delivers on-the-spot heating where ever and whenever you’re feeling a little chilly.

This quiet, compact 500W heater-for-one is a perfect size ( 4.96″ x 4.15″ x 6.4” ) for a desktop or bedside. And it’s quick, warming up in about 3-seconds.

No more turning up the heat or piling on heavy blankets.

If things get to hot, GeekHeat can be used as a fan to cool things down.

LED indicator lights let you know which setting is being used. Red for heat and blue for the fan.

A convenient cool-touch carry handle makes it easy to move the unit from place to place.

The heater also has built-in safety features. If the heater gets to hot, or tips over an indicator light will flash, and the fan will automatically switch on. 

The GeekHeat Personal Ceramic Heater sells for $26.95 and is available from The Grommet.
