Join Duracell’s SnapBattery – Gets You All Charged Up!
It’s gotten to a point where I need to marvel at just how attached to our phones we have become. I am old enough to remember a time when not only did we not have cell phones… our phones were attached to a cord, and most homes only had one. Now I live with a kind of low level anxiety about how much battery life I have left on my phone, and have collected several gadgets to guard against ever being phone-less, due to a dead battery.

Sony PS4 revealed at E3 2013
It looks like the world of next generation gaming is about to take off pretty soon – at the end of this year actually, where the two behemoths of Sony and Microsoft have showed their respective hands at the recently concluded E3 2013 in Los Angeles, California. Microsoft has their Xbox One, while Sony’s latest release is a logical progression from where the PS3 left off, where the upcoming console would obviously continue with the PlayStation line, and they have dubbed it the PS4. The Sony PS4 would also be known as the CUH-1000A series, where it will initially arrive in a jet black color, and will be out later this holiday season. Folks living in the USA will be able to get one for $399, while those in Canada, Europe and the UK will have to pay the equivalent numerical figure, except in their local currencies.

Floating Boombox
Do not shun boomboxes, o ye youth of the current generation! You do not know of the influencing power of such a device, back in the days when your parents were wee lads and discovering their identity in the world. Having said that, is there a place for the classic boombox in the 21st century? The correct answer would be “No”, but this does not mean that the idea on a boombox cannot be resurrected to take on the more modern devices out there. The $149.99 Floating Boombox is one such updated retro gig, where it will definitely add some volume in your next trip to a body of water, regardless of whether it is a natural lake, by the beach, or at the pool.
The Floating Boombox would play nice with devices such as the iPhone, iPod, Android gadgets or other compatible ones, even in the water. The Floating Boombox will be fully waterproof and submersible, and thanks to a waterproof compartment that houses your device, you need not feel as though you are drowning while on land, with the air choked out of you as you realize your newest purchase has been dunked underwater. No sir, no worries of that at all – unless the waterproof compartment has somehow been compromised by an unseen needle or your cat’s claws, of course. It is said that the Floating Boombox would be able to pump out tunes for up to 25 hours using battery power alone, or you can plug it directly into an AC outlet – not a good idea if you’re going to dunk it in the pool when doing so, of course.
Comfort Lift Power Seat
When you get out more often and move around in circles where folks are less fortunate than you, whether in terms of financial capability or physical well being, then you would be a whole lot more thankful with who you are and what you have. For instance, folks who have suffered from a stroke and are not properly treated tend to suffer from a lack of movement or control over some muscles, and performing a simple task that we take for granted such as lifting ourselves from our seat could prove to be an insurmountable obstacle. Good thing there is the $249 Comfort Lift Power Seat which is said to be able to transform most chairs into a lift chair.
The Comfort Lift Power Seat would boast of patented lifting technology, where it will be able to safely and gently lift you out of your chair, all the way to a near standing position on a level plane. Even more impressive is the fact that it achieves this without having to go through any kind of quick moves, sans abrupt ejections or a shifting base. The lift will offer 100% electric lift for those who weight up to 300 lbs, and the presence of a flexible, adjustable hand control and an easy-to-use toggle switch ensures that you remain in control at all times. There is also a pair of easily accessible handles which will allow you to move the power seat from chair to chair around your home.
Manfrotto ML120 Hotshoe LED Panel + KLYP Case For iPhone
If there is one particular smartphone that has more of its fair share of accessories compared to the rest, I would like to think that the iPhone is the surefire winner among the rest of the Android-powered and Windows Phone 8 candidates. Having said that, here is yet another accessory for your precious iPhone that would help you snap better photos during your impromptu photoshoot moments, never mind the fact that a DSLR would yield far better results, but you can’t be lugging a DSLR everywhere with you now, right?
The $69.99 Manfrotto ML120 Hotshoe LED Panel + KLYP Case For iPhone pretty much says it all, where it will literally light up your life with a tiny LED panel that casts soft, even light. The light can be swiveled around to face forward or backward, where all twelve LEDs on it are guaranteed to send your iPhone’s flash scurrying away, as it buries its face in a flood of tears for letting you down all this while under low light conditions. It has been specially designed for the iPhone 4/4S, and is powered by a single AAA battery.

Ever been to Venice, the city that is full of canals? If you haven’t and reside in the US, having found it too difficult to save up enough cash to make that flight across the pond to Europe, how about indulging in a little domestic tourism and go local by dropping by into the Sin City, that is, Las Vegas? those who have been there would definitely have visited the fanciful hotels such as the Venetian, where there are gondolas plying the fake waterways all over the place.
Well, even after this particular suggestion you do not have the financial resources to make it to Vegas even on the cheapest flights and staying in the most affordable hotels or inns, how about settling for the most affordable option of all – with the $49.99 Serenading Pool Gondolier? This is one gondolier who happens to sing a trio of classic Italian melodies all the while he meanders around a pool. Standing at just 6″ tall, this tenor will be able to transport listeners to Venice’s magical canals while he renders near perfect performances of La dona è mobile, ‘O sole mio, and Funiculì, funicular.
