(Note: The Tech Guy Radio Show ended its run December 18, 2022. But all the gadgets and gizmos Dick showed over the years are archived below gadgets I showed or talked about on Ask The Tech Guys.)
Below are the gadgets we’ve talked about on the show.
A Couple of Fun Summer Time Gadgets!
Not Foam, This Time It’s Bubbles! LOTS Of Them!
The Mega 132 Hole Bubble Machine.
Amazon says this Calabash Brothers Bubble Machine gun has 132 bubble holes, which can blow out 9500+ colored bubbles per minute. The bubble gun is equipped with color lights, bringing colorful and dreamy bubbles, no matter day or night.
The 
Giz Wiz says: It has a single green LED cleverly placed so you see a light on top of the bubble maker and it lights the entire back of the bubble maker. As far as 9500+ colored bubbles mentioned, as you’ll see in the video, it could be that many! And they are colorful!! The rechargeable battery comes with a USB charger. Although the gun is big, it’s easy to hold and simple to use. Just pull the trigger and it blows out countless colorful bubbles. You do have to dip the bubble maker in the bubble soap pan each time you want to fire off a volley of bubbles. The pan is included, and there’s a pouring spout molded in which makes it easy to return unused bubble soap to the jar. The set I bought included 14 jars of Bubble water. I paid $29.99 for mine, but prices on Amazon can change at any time! You’ll see a ton of similar bubble guns on Amazon, but some cheaper ones look the same, but have 72 holes or less, not 132 holes, and some include 2 bottles of bubble soap, not 14 which is what I got.

Hot Summer Weather?
Here’s a way to keep cool!
Going to beach, going camping, or to a picnic? Check out FRIZCOL Clip on Fan with Misting. It’s a portable fan with a 6000mAh rechargeable battery. It has a strong, large spring clamp on the bottom to hold onto a tree branch, picnic table, tent pole, etc. It can also stand by itself, or hang upside down using the folding hook on the bottom. The company recommends not using the misting function in the upside down position. With the fan on low the rechargeable battery can last up to 40 hours w/o mist. Misting (holds 75ml water) should last about 2 hours on Intermittent misting, or 1 hour on continuous misting. The water is easy refilled via a rubber stop at the top of the fan. For nighttime activities, or overnight camping, the fan has 9 white LED lights with 3 adjustable brightness levels. It was only about $20 on 6/24/23

ZVOX comes up with a way to hear smartphone conversations louder & clearer.
I’m a big fan of ZVOX, voice clarifying soundbars. At Pepcom they introduced two new models, including their first portable AV70 Bluetooth AccuVoice Speaker. Powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, the AV70 is great for people on the go. But there’s a back story. Video conferencing exploded during the first year of the COVID crisis. But many people had trouble understanding what was being said,” commented ZVOX founder Tom Hannaher. “On important business conference meetings, and on millions of family video calls, folks kept asking ‘what did they say?’ The little AccuVoice conference speaker fixes that.” The AV70 connects wirelessly to any phone, tablet, or computer – using Bluetooth, but a wired connection is also available. It’s designed to let listeners hear every word on every call! MSRP: $99.99.00
IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM ZVOX: Hi Dick, For the month of June your viewers/listeners can buy the AV70 for $59.99 when they use the coupon code AV70 during checkout on the ZVOX.com site. Does not work on Amazon. That deal starts June 1st.
Right now you can buy the AV70 and get a pair of ZVOX headphones or earbuds, both for $99.99. That offer will probably end when the new June offer starts.

There were lots of high-end ‘smart’ mattresses at Pepcom, so I picked the one that starts at about $6300.00
Meet The Bryte Balance Smart Bed Mattress.
According to Bryte 70% of Americans simply do not get a solid night’s rest. Available both for the home and for hotels and resorts, the Bryte Balance uses purposeful, connected technology to actively help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and is customizable for one’s own comfort level.

Rebalancing technology, which automatically removes pressure imbalances so you stay asleep. And Dual Comfort Tailoring, allows customization on both sides of the mattress, to provide comfort based on each partners’ individual attributes and sleeping preferences.

A Dual Wireless Mic System At A Very Decent Price.
Meet the AnkerWork M650 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System.
Great for podcasters who broadcast in the field, or folks who do interviews at press events, or just for travel videos, this new mic system from AnkerWorks should be a good fit. I found that the dual wireless mics with VoiceShield noise cancellation technology really cuts down on background noise. You see that as I walk in Riverside Park, NYC moving far away from the camera. You can set the mics to record with natural, low, or NR high settings and if you like, even add a windproof furry cover (
