I am definitely a big fan of corn on the cob. It tastes way better than corn from a can, especially when you slather the corn on the cob with lots of butter and Cajun seasoning then grill it.

4K is pretty much the most desired recording standard at the moment. That’s what the new Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 offers and a whole lot more. This little action camera allows users to record in 4K at 30 fps, putting it on par with the GoPro Hero  4 Black.

Some of us still don’t use smartphones as alarm clocks, and for those people, Lexon’s In-Out clock is seems like a clever way to make sure your alarm is set before you go to sleep. You’ll never forget to set it again.

Canister vacuums are known for constantly tipping over as they roll across your floors, so Dyson has created a canister vacuum that can always right itself like those old Weebles toys.
