Chunky Funk Hat Review

Sandy made a hat for me and she can probably craft a hat for you too. Her Facebook page is called Chunky Funk and The Insatiable Hook. She has been making hats and scarves for people, and has made a couple mittens as well. This hat originally had a pom-pom on top, and I couldn’t buy it like that because I wear plain clothing for my philosophy/religion. She was kind enough to customize it by removing the pom-pom.

This is a link to her page if you want to check out the designs:

Roth T Shirt Review

In this video I review a Roth T-shirt bought in Michigan, and seriously consider buying a military-style cap to replace my old blue baseball cap that I have had forever. If anyone wants get me a Christmas gift there is a big hint in this video.

Pringles Can Speaker

The Pringles Speaker was an idea that interested me enough to buy some extra chips and mail in the receipts to get a free speaker. It took about 3.5 weeks, but it finally arrived and now you get to watch as I open the package and see what they sent me.

Does the speaker use the cardboard tube as a resonating chamber to amplify the sound? It is wireless? How practical is this thing? Does it work with the iPod Touch? Watch this unboxing video to find out!

Further experiments with the speaker can:
In the video I tried playing streaming music from the Pandora App, and it works well. I also tried playing music from the iPod’s built-in Music App, and a “Voice Control” screen kept interrupting the music. I think the iPod was confused about whether the device was a microphone or a speaker.

The cord is about 36 inches long. The speaker works when plugged into the headphone jack of my laptop computer.

In the video I said it sounded “tinny”. I meant to say it’s like a treble speaker alone, and when attached to a Pringles can it seems to add some bass. Depending on the song sometimes it sounds hollow, like voices in a tunnel.

Laptop Stand Review

This video tells the story of my quest for a laptop stand that is both safe for the computer and comfortable to use on my antique desk. Long-term usage of a desktop-replacement laptop computer can be ergonomically uncomfortable, or even unhealthy. Leaning over to type on a laptop keyboard for hours at a time may lead to a kink in your neck or low back pain. Learn what I discovered about four different options for mounting a mobile computer on a raised desktop stand.
