My CBS 46 Atlanta Plugged In, 12/18/17 - Last Minute Holiday Tech

I always get asked about last minute holiday gifts that people will actually like.

Here I am on CBS Atlanta and Peachtree TV with Atlanta Plugged In and host Kinberley Kennedy.

I brought on the Airfree Tulip Air Purifier, The UGA Hover Helmet, the Sphero R2-D2 (and watch how durable it is), the popularity of subscription box services, BBO Board Shorts and Antigua Wear.

Here is the link to the segment!

myCharge Adventure Ultra

A real wall outlet you can take with you for $129
www.mycharge.com

A portable phone charger is a no-miss holiday gift for anyone on your list, even yourself. But, don’t be fooled by the cheap options at the convenience store. Not all battery chargers are created equal, and many can be incompatible with your devices, contain batteries that haven’t met safety standards or that will only function for a few charging cycles. myCharge enhances its battery chargers with unique features like built-in charging cables, wall prongs and wall outlets on some of its devices. Their batteries also have twelve layers of safety protection. For Black Friday, myCharge products will be 50% off at Best Buy November 19 – November 26. Make sure you check out my new favorite charger, the AdventureUltra, which is basically a portable wall outlet.

AquaCraft Mini Alligator Tours Airboat RTR

www.towerhobbies.com
My favorite RC item on the market. If you have never taken a real Air Boat tour, you can now nomp through smaller swamps with the Mini Alligator Tours EP RTR! It’s details and livery are amazing and you can be on the water, learning to do skid turns almost immediately. It’s the simple little RTR that anyone can enjoy. With a 3-channel Tactic TTX300 SLT radio system, twin air rudders and an adjustable single link between steering servo and rudders, pilots get fast, powerful response.

My CBS 46 Atlanta Plugged In, 10/23/17 - Halloween Gadgets

Once again, I join Kimberley Kennedy on CBS Atlanta Plugged In to talk Tech. This time Halloween Gadgets.

CBS46 News

Recap:

AtmosFX - Digital Decorations
www.atmosfx.com
AtmosFX's Digital Decorating Kit has been updated for 2017, significantly improving an already simple and cost-effective way to digitally decorate. As the highest-quality standard-definition (SD) projector kit on the market, it packs everything you need to create stunningly original displays for Halloween, Christmas, and celebrations year round. It's easier to use, you get better definition and there are new scenes....
With a projector, some downloads and AtmosFX Window Projection Material, it's ready, set, go for Halloween 2017. It's all easy to set up and put into action.


Twist and Seal "Safety" Pack  - Keeps Cords Safe

www.twistandseal.com
If you are putting up Halloween decorations or making your own "Haunted House."
Twist and Seal have a new "Pool Safety Pack", but it's also relevant for Halloween in that keeps water away from electrical cord connections and comes with three safety products - Cord Dome for power strips, Maxx for large cords, and Cord Protect for regular cords. This pack helps keeps the whole family safe by sealing off outside cords. About $40.

3. Pyro Pets
A candle that when the wax melts, a spooky skeleton appears...  about $30
A sinister silhouette starts to emerge. Just a hint. A flickering shadow looming beneath the surface. Then, as the wax begins to melt, a menacing flame-scorched creature rears its demonic head, with sharpened teeth and fire blazing in its eyes.
Slowly but surely the cute geometric kitten exterior is eroded away and all that remains is a haunting metallic skeleton stood ominously in a pool of wax. So why not sit this malevolent moggie up on your mantelpiece and bring a little evil ambiance into your home.

 
4. ICEMULE

www.icemulecoolers.com
A complete cooler that you can carry around on your back as you walk the streets trick or treating. Or for bringing food or drink to your Halloween Party.


5. Battery-operated Light Up Jack-o-Lanterns

Availabe for under $10 at discount and department stores
Safe and affordable  no candles inside your pumpkin
