Make More Space Under Your Monitor or Laptop!
I’m a big fan of monitor risers.
I use several of them. 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 lever, but it gives me room underneath for other things like a wireless keyboard and wireless 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. It 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 one and was impressed with the way they work. Here’s some more info from the company, including how they work: 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 Play With Some Great Outdoor Gadgets!
(I’ll post a link once the spot airs on World News Now.)
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 6/22/22, but you can check the latest price at the link below.

Another Great Cooling Gadget For the Hot Weather —
Spray Misty For Me!
It’s the Honhey Misting Pocket Fan, which can be used a handheld fan, a desk fan & a misting fan. It has 3 adjustable speeds provides 20 hours at low speed, 13 hours at medium speed and 6 hours for high speed according to Honhey. A long press of the power switch turns on the misting function. Then turn the fan on at the same time and the mister it will spray intermittently to extend the misting time. With a build-in 15ml water tank, it can be used for 1-1.5 hours when filled with water. You can connect the provided micro USB-cable to a power bank, computer, laptop, etc. for continuous operation. The company says it takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the 1500 mAh battery. Fan blades are made of a special soft material, so if you accidentally touch them, they will automatically stop. This will be great carry device for the on-coming hot weather. The kit includes the Portable Handheld fan, Micro-Charging cable, Water bottle(15ml), Lanyard and User manual. On Amazon it was about $16.00 on 6/19/22, but you can check the latests price below.
