November 9, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
When it comes to gadgets, for me, sometimes Barenaked Ladies’ songs come to mind. Not, necessarily, If I Had $1,000,000, but rather the words of former band member Steven Page, It’s All Been Done (Before). But much to my delight with the scores of trade fair vendors at LDTECH 2017 – London Drugs Retail Tech Group Annual Conference, I did not walk away disappointed – in fact, it was the opposite!

Is Dad already an old pro on the barbecue? Do you think he might like to try something new in the kitchen? If so, then how about getting him his own pasta maker? The Philips Compact Pasta and Noodle Maker is a funky little gadget that doesn’t take up much room on the countertop and allows Dad to easily create his own homemade pasta or noodles in as much time as it takes for him to watch a TED talk.
And it’s easier to make pasta or noodles than he might think, especially since the maker is easy to use and comes with a recipe book that will give him tips and tricks to make great pasta. Even better it also includes ideas for creating different pastas, some maybe he’s never heard of, like ones that contain beet juice, carrot juice or even spinach. Read more…at Canoe Tech Blog.

When it comes to finding Dad the right gadget for Father’s Day, there are so many choices; so here are three gift ideas for a Dad who likes to spend time outside, whether on the field, on the road or otherwise.
Ultimate Mini DashCam
You know Dad loves car gadgets but you also know he wouldn’t want to be gifted with some big clunky camera that would clutter up his dashboard. If that sounds like your Dad, then he might be surprised at what big features can be found in the compact Magellan MiVue 420 DashCam.
At only 3.5”x1.9”x1.5” the MiVue 420 is packed full of features. The camera is equipped with a wide-angle lens camera (140° horizontal field of view) that captures Super HD (1296p) video both during the day and at night. It will also timestamp on the video GPS coordinates, date, time and speed, etc. These are also locked-in should Dad need proof of an event or if the unit senses the car’s been hit or moved erratically.

Gamers are pretty serious about their gear, all the way down to even the mouse pad that they use. So what does it say about you if your eyes light up at the thought of playing your games on a QcK Prism, by SteelSeries, the world’s first dual surface RGB illuminated mouse pad?
The new QcK Prism allows you to use both of its surfaces.

Some men live their whole adult lives wearing a beard; others grow one or try to grow one at this time of the year as a tribute to Hockey, Canada’s Winter Sport. Regardless as to why, there might come a time when you either need to shave it off or give it a trim. Unless you’re somewhat of a barber, stylist or artist, keeping the exact same look can be a challenge, unless you have something like the Philips Beardtrimmer Series 5000 Stubble Trimmer.

Review: Dyson UV Cleansing Humidifier
May 17, 2017 by · Leave a Comment
Depending on where you live, you know how dry it can get indoors, particularly during the cold weather where besides dry skin, many people may exhibit chapped lips, sinus issues and a nightmare for some allergy sufferers. It also generates static, which can wreak havoc on your electronics. That’s when it’s a good time to ensure you have a decent humidifier to help you breathe easier and keep the “nasties” away.
I had given up on furnace mount humidifiers a long time ago, after going through a few of them; they either seized up due to calcification or unevenly humidified rooms. Some rooms were poorly humidified while others had condensation buildup on the windows. I resorted to using a run-of-the-mill portable ultrasonic humidifier in the sleeping area and living room that I felt more or less did the job until I took the Dyson AM10 Humidifier for a test drive for a month.
