First up, an inexpensive video light for Zoom, Skype, etc.
It looks like Zoom meetings and business Skype phone calls are going to be around for a long time. Besides a great mic, something you really need when using your computer to communicate is some decent lighting! And amazingly, you can get a nice unit for under $20. Here’s one I found on Amazon and based on the specs, bought one for the Giz Wiz Show. The brand is Selfila and it features 360 degrees of light. With the inline remote you adjust the 3200k-6500k light temperature and brightness adjustments of the 48 LED 4.6” ring. Power is via USB so it can plug directly into a port on your laptop or desktop computer. The padded clip has a maximum opening of 1.35”. This it great for improving the lighting for remote working, Zoom calls, YouTube, Skype, etc. The six illuminations are listed as Warm warm, Warm white, Natural white, Daylight, and Cold white. Within each of those are 5 levels of brightness. It’s fairly small, easy enough to meet your light needs anytime, anywhere. I have been using it powered by an external battery pack to light some videos we’ve shot. It also got decent reviews on Amazon and is under $24.00.

This is new from Chefman, The InstaCoffee Max+. I bought their original Insta Coffee, and just purchased this one to see the difference. A small difference is that this single serve Kcup maker brewed a cup of coffee in 96 seconds, just a tad faster than my original model. It started brewing in under 30 seconds. But, a big difference is the size of the basket included to make coffee fast using your own fresh ground coffee. With the original one I made about 7 to 8 ounces of coffee with the small included basket. Chefman says this new one brews up to 14 ounces of coffee from your own ground coffee. Also different is a water gauge and a cup lift is included on the new model. It was priced the same as the original one, ranging from about $40 to $50. When I bought mine I paid $39.99 and it was still that price on 12/18/21, but Amazon prices can change at any time.
