From Sci-Fi to Reality, German Bionic Apogee ULTRA Redefines Exoskeleton Technology with AI-Powered Strength and Mobility

Iron Man 1 came out in 2008, and we still don’t have the ability to fly like Iron Man. It’s terribly sad, but the good news is that we’re getting closer and closer to exoskeletons that make someone almost as strong as a superhero. German Bionic is rolling out their new Apogee ULTRA, which uses adaptive, AI-driven features to make it the most powerful exoskeleton ever.

Isaac by PreEvnt Wants to Make Diabetes Management As Easy As Breathing!

There are 830 million people in the world with some form of diabetes. Unfortunately, that means it’s almost guaranteed that someone you know needs to deal with the hassle of tracking blood sugar. Usually, this is done by testing their blood periodically throughout the day, which means lots of poking of fingertips. Isaac by PreEvnt has a better, less messy plan by harnessing the power of your breath!

HOZO Design is making waves again with the launch of its M-Cube 02 Anti-Gravity Laser Level, now live on Kickstarter.

Feather River Smart Glass Doors Full Lite Model

Feather River Smart Glass Doors Offer 4 Stylish, Energy-Efficient Upgrade Options with Hubspace Integration

At my former home in San Angelo, we had a lovely, glass-paned front door that made everything light and airy during daylight but lacked privacy after dark. We’d begun to avoid the front living room at night, so I added a privacy shade, but operating it was such a pain that we usually left it down. The Home Depot’s new Feather River Smart Glass Doors offer a better, more modern alternative. Pressing a button or giving a voice command to Alexa or Google Assistant switches the door’s glass from clear to opaque for the perfect balance of light and privacy.

BODEGA JC-85A Wine Cooler Review: Stylish, Compact, and Reliable Wine Storage

We weren’t always wine drinkers (much less collectors), but the hobby kind of snuck up on us. It started with a local vineyard membership and me bringing home random bottles of red from work trips. Eventually, Kev transitioned from homebrewing to making his own wine. We stored our growing collection in racks and cabinets, but the lack of proper temperature control was less than ideal. We knew it was time to step up our game and store our growing collection as it deserved, so when the opportunity came to review the BODEGA JC-85A Wine Cooler, I was happy to oblige.
