techBUZZ: Altec Lansing Mini H2O Bluetooth speaker
TOP FEATURE: SUPER PORTABLE - The small size makes it highly portable. It's so small, you can easily tuck it into your bag or even a pocket! There is a even sturdy place to attach a lanyard too.
cleanBUZZ: BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® Upright Vacuum | 1650A
TOP FEATURE: REMOVES PET HAIR - The brush head on the vacuum cleaner removed lots of cat hair out of the carpet. When used on the bare floor, it vacuumed up all the cat litter that the cats had flung out of their box. TOP FEATURE: LIGHTED CREVICE TOOL - The crevice tool has an LED light on the end so you can see what you're vacuuming, a great feature when vacuuming in dim areas. The crevice tool easily vacuumed hair out of the cat tower corners, kitty litter along the baseboards and food crumbs under the kitchen cabinets. I think the bare floor setting on the vacuum was just average. It throws a bit of dirt around when using that setting, so you can tell it doesn't vacuum up everything in its path. Still, this is a fantastic vacuum cleaner for pet owners. It really cuts down on the effort involved in cleaning up pet hair and pet messes around the home.
techBUZZ: Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB Portable External Hard Drive for Mac USB 3.0
TOP FEATURE: EASY BACKUPS - It truly is plug-and-play as a backup drive on your Mac computer. Just plug in, choose the disk as the backup drive in the Time Machine prefs, and it starts the backup. NO further set up is required. Instructions are also included for Windows compatibility. TOP FEATURE: GREAT LOOKS - The drive has an attractive aluminum top and a black plastic bottom, and measures only 12.1mm in width! The connection cable (which is compatible with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0) is included.
securityBUZZ: SABRE HS-GA2 Wireless Window Glass Break & Vibration Detector Alarm with Security Warning DecalTOP FEATURE: LOW COST - For a small, inexpensive security device, these SABRE HS-GA2 Wireless Window Glass Break & Vibration Detector Alarm with Security Warning Decal are hard to beat. TOP FEATURE: SMALL SIZE - The devices are not large, so they don't take up a lot of window real estate. They can be turned off and turned on easily using the small slider switch in the side. I placed one in the window of the back door and only turn it on at night. It easily picks up the motion of the door opening. The alarm is high pitched and annoying, but not incredibly loud. And the alarms themselves are fairly sensitive in the "high" setting. The alarms also have a "low" setting. All around, these are a good addition to other security systems or a great start if you're just beginning to make your home more secure.
techBUZZ: Gigastone Flash Drive
TOP FEATURE: PROTECTED CONNECTOR - And, thanks to the hinged protective caps for both the lighting connector and the USB, you don't have to worry about damage or debris.
techBuzz: ExoLens Case for iPhone
TOP FEATURE: PROTECTIVE POUCH - The case offers fairly good protection for your phone, and the lens set comes with a handy carrying case with a zip-up closure and foam inserts to keep them safe and secure when they're not being used. If you take a lot of photos, then you'll defines want to try this lens lot for yourself.
techBUZZ: LIR MR160 Imaging Moisture MeterTOP FEATURE: FIND HIDDEN LEAKS EASILY - This FLIR meter is very handy to have if you're looking to find a hidden leak. The thermal camera picks up cool spots (which would be evidence of evaporation where there was water) and shows them in blue. If you've been looking for a hidden leak, but don't want to tear out chunks of your wall to find it, this would be the tool for you. TOP FEATURE: FIND COLD AIR LEAKS EASILY - I also successfully used it to find spots where cold air was leaking into the house near windows during a recent cold snap. The cold air showed up clearly on the meter. TOP FEATURE: THERMAL IMAGING PHOTO - The meter also takes photos of the thermal images, which can be very useful in providing data for comparison between one day and the next (for instance, the meter makes it easy to take snapshots of your basement on a dry day, and then, after a rain, these photos can be used to compare to current readings, pointing out rain-related leaks.) It is also possible to take moisture readings right directly from an area. TOP FEATURE: LASER POINTER - The laser pointer makes it easy to pinpoint exactly where on the wall the thermal camera is picking up readings, too. And the included software allows you to keep data for later comparison, making this an ideal tool for anyone who may have more than one property that they manage.
gardenBUZZ:AeroGarden HarvestTOP FEATURE: EASY - I love this AeroGarden! All you need to do to grow beautiful plants from seed is plug in the AeroGarden, pop in the pre-seeded pods, fill the reservoir with water, set the settings and forget about it (if you can, but this might just be the most difficult part, because it is hard not to keep peeking, waiting for the seeds to sprout). The Aerogarden does the rest. TOP FEATURE: FRESH HERBS - Grow herbs, vegetables, even flowers, anywhere in your home within reach of an electric receptacle. No more worrying about light levels high enough to grow the plants you would like to grow. And there really is no fussing with the device. Just set the settings and check the machine every once in a while to make sure the water level is right. The lights can be set to turn on and off on a schedule (tailored to the type of plant you're growing) and the nutrient reminder will let you know when to add more nutrients. As the plants grow, you also may need to do a little pruning and adjust the height of the lights. TOP FEATURE: HANDY PODS - The pods are labeled with the name of the plant and the growth height, so you know exactly where to place them in the AeroGarden. The pods also state how long the seeds will take to sprout. My first pod kit contained herbs, but I can't wait to try the tomato pods or the salad pods. I'm looking forward to growing salad through the winter months. I plan to invest in a few more AeroGardens: one for starting seeds for my summer garden and another one to grow fresh flowers anywhere in the house (no window required!!)

bookBUZZ - The Stem of Time![]() Jillian is a scientist, determined to cure cancer, and she has the brains to do it, she just doesn't have the time. In order to make more time, she invents a time stem, enabling her to slow time and allow her to do the work of five people. But, she never expected the consequences this could have: she draws the unwanted attention of the Council, has an assassin sent after her, a bounty placed on her head and gains a new husband, whom she's never met. And all she wanted to do was to cure cancer. For an inexpensive read, I think you'll like it. This book for Kindle is only $0.99 at Amazon. Available as an ebook for Kindle only.
