    Perfect For All Those Gadgets You'll Need To Charge For School!

    It's the INIU Portable Charger. It has a lot of features including 22.5W 20000mAh USB C in & out, Fast Charging, PD 3.0 + QC 4.0, an LED display for battery power and of course, an LED flashlight. It's said to be able to charge your phone up to 58% in 30 minutes via the upgraded 22.5W output plus the latest PD3.0 & Quick Charge 4.0 fast-charge technologies. Or charge your iPad Pro up to 34% in 30 Minutes according to Iniu. This is the 1st battery charger I've bouight that offers USB C Input & Output. While most chargers featuring a USB C input only, this one lets you use USB-C out for new iPhones, iPad and other upcoming USB-C devices. With one USB-C port and two USB ports built-in, it can charge up to 3 devices simultaneously. It ships with a 12” USB-A to USB C cable and a travel pouch. The company also offers a 30-day money back, and industry-leading 3-year warranty, plus lifetime technical support. And the price? The latest price as of 8/6/22 was $31.99, but there was a 10% off box to check.

    Bugha LED monitor riser w/usb hub $10.00

    I'm a big fan of monitor risers.

    I use several monitor risers. One holds my monitor at a much more comfortable eye level for a computer monitor. I have my Chromebook on another one. That also put the Chromebook at a better eye level, but it also gives me room underneath for other things like a external keyboard and mouse. The  Bugha LED monitor riser not only has color change LED lights, but it adds four USB ports! 2 standard USB ports, plus 2 USB type-c ports. The monitor riser comes with a USB power cable and instruction manual. And amazingly, it's just $10 from Five Below!  -- Yes, Five Below has gadgets priced above $5. Those are called Five Beyond. But the prices are still amazingly low compared to similar gadgets!

    Here's a direct link to the monitor riser: https://www.fivebelow.com/products/bugha-exclusive-led-gaming-monitor-riser-w-usb-hub

    It should also be available at Five Below stores.

    Meet The Pilot Frixion, the erasable ballpoint pen! 

    I never knew there was an 'erasable ballpoint pen'! But there were a lot of Pilot Frixion Erasable Pens at the New Products Show. I tried and was impressed with the way they work. Some more info from the company: FriXion is the first erasable fine point marker pen. Its unique thermo-sensitive ink formula lets you erase and rewrite repeatedly with ease without ruining the page. The FriXion gel ink pen writes smooth & erases clean. (I was amazed at how it erases and there are no shavings to dust away.) Frixion is the 1st and only pen authenticated by the nation’s leading STEM accreditation and education organization. Over at Amazon you'll find a huge assortment of styles in the FriXion line. The 5 pack I showed on the air was $11.99 as of 8/8/22)

    Will Ganss & I Have A Ton of Fun With Some Outdoor Gadgets

    (If you missed the spot on air, I'll post a link after it airs.)

    I'm A Fan Of This Fan – It's Folds To Fit In Your Pocket!

    This is a very versatile fan, with a sort of strange Amazon name: JISULIFE . It’s folds small enough to fit into a pocket and it has a 4800 mAh battery that can double as an emergency phone charger. And a flashlight that can double as a task light as you’ll see on today’s show. After a full charge which takes 3-4 hours the company says it can get up to 46 fan hours at speed 1 (low), 35 hours at speed 2 (med.), and 13 hours at speed 3 (high). Maximum RPM’s is 3400 rpm which is enough for personal use to keep you cool. The Power Bank Function is 5V/1A which is slow, but probably enough in an emergency. The flashlight feature works when fan is not spinning since they both use the same button. The flashlight is quite bright the task lights works great too. With the included lanyard you can hang it on your wrist or travel backpack. Safety wise, if you touch the blades, the fan instantly stops! With feature plus surge and short circuit protection, this sounds like a handy, safe gadget. It was on sale for about $16.00 on 6/21/22, but you can check the latest price at the link below.
