Wyze Cam launches the Pan, a $30 full-motion security camera with tons of features via 9to5Toys

I tried out one of the earlier models of these security cams and I was amazed at how well it worked, especially considering its low price. I would really like a weatherproof version of them, although there are some 3rd party enclosures that might allow you to do that. — Douglas

18 BOOM 2 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker and others

Douglas E. Welch Holiday Gift Guide 2017

See more Gift Guide Items

I have a smaller bluetooth speaker that I specifically was gifted for kitchen use. I love listening to podcasts and music while I cook and the little speaker did a perfectly good job. That said, due to the noise of running water, food processors and others, it would be nice to have a speaker with a bit more oomph. The BOOM 2 series of speakers is just one such speaker, but it was included in many other gift guides on the internet and will likely be my, more powerful, replacement for the kitchen and garden.
