Just to keep it simple, this is a fun movie with great action. If you have a 4K player, I'd get it for that reason alone

I already had an Xbox One, but upgraded to the One S so I could enjoy my 4K TV and I was left impressed. The picture quality is astounding (assuming you have 4K TV). For me, that was enough to justify the cost, since it was cheaper than standalone 4K players. An added plus is that the power brick is FINALLY gone.

I think you either like Star Trek or you don't. This film wasn't received well critically, but I found it entertaining and loved the continued story of the characters from previous two "reboot" films

This item will protect the headset and the headset only. There is no room for the extension cable from headset to processing unit (you can jam it in there, but I personally wouldn't). I don't see it as a travel bag, although it can be one, since it doesn't carry all necessary VR accessories, but I consider it essential protection for when you aren't using it.

The premise of this switch is fascinating, control your lights remotely and in some circumstances, with your voice. I recommend you get, or either own, Amazon Echo or Google Home for the full experience. Other than having the ability to turn lights off remotely (say when you're on vacation) the real magic is being able to turn on/off the lights with your voice.
The set up is pretty straightforward. The installation is easy if you have any do-it-yourself know how. You just need to turn off the power to the switch and unscrew some screws. The one big caveat is the white wire (when you get the packaging you'll know) but you are required to have a white wire (neutral) in your switch box for this to work. It's my understanding if your house is less than 20 years old, you should have one. Mine were unused and wrapped tightly in the back of the switch box.
Once it's installed, it's pretty easy to setup., You download the app and run through it's pretty straightforward set up. The app is clean and easy to understand and for the most part, the set up was painfree. Although I did get hung up on connecting it to Wi-Fi, but that was before I realized the importance of the "white" wire.
Once set up, I linked it to both my Amazon Alexa app and Google Home app and voila. Voice activated lights. All I say is "Hey Google, turn the lights on in the kitchen" or something close to that, and Google turns the lights on.
Of all smart home tech, I put lights at the top of the list of must-haves, right below thermostat.

If you've had a Ninja blender before, you are in for a treat. This model outshines the performance of any previous versions (I know because I've previously owned two Ninja blenders). The blending jar is huge 88 oz, I haven't made anything large enough to fill it up, but it is nice to know I can make margaritas for a large crowd. I love the timer on the blender, not necessary, but nice to see how long it's been on. The buttons on the machine itself all have a purpose. That is to say it's not overly complex.
The one complaint and it's a big one, both literally and figuratively, is that the base is large. The width and footprint doesn't bother me as much as the height. Combine the height of the base with the height of an 88 oz pitcher and you have a large blender taking up your counter space. If you have cabinets above your counter top where you'd place the blender make sure they're high enough!! I didn't and can't keep the pitcher attached to the base but in a separate cabinet.
I do like the separate "titan cups" which are similar to a Nutribullet. The powerful base and blade combo whips up frozen fruit and makes smooth as silk smoothies to take on the go in no time. I would recommend this device based on the titan travel cups alone.

For the money, this is a tremendous speaker with great sound and decent battery life. Bass isn't huge, but this is a small package and it's more than adequate. My one big complaint, which is present in nearly every single Bluetooth speaker, is no playback controls. I like to have forward button on the speaker itself for the times I don't want to pull out my phone (or I'm closer to the speaker) when I want to change songs.

I have both Google Home and Amazon Echo Dot. I also have a Harmony Hub and several smart home devices. I love the smart home integration and once you activate lights and your entertainment center with your voice, good luck going back. For now, the Echo has better integration with my smart home, but once Google Home catches up, I will be switching to Google for the sole reason I subscribe to Google Play Music.
But to be honest all of these devices have limited uses and the "fun" or "cool" appeal wears off soon. It's fun to ask Alexa questions or ask her to tell you a joke, but that gets old quick. It's also cool to order something from Amazon, but I rarely do so because I like to look at what I'm ordering.
You will definitely need a secondary speaker to connect this to. Which brings me to the one big problem and that's having a secondary speaker on at all times (and sometimes on the correct input). For example, I connected my Echo Dot to my receiver to play sound through it, but I also use the receiver to watch TV, etc., so I change the inputs. So when I ask Alexa to answer a quick question, I have to make sure it's on the right input. I know that I an ask Alexa to tell Harmony to change the input but I often forget to do so. I wish I could have a dedicated sound system that awoke whenever Alexa was triggered.
At the end of the day, it's a fun device to have that provides some useful "skills" (ordering Dominos is cool, but I've only done it once) and games (I like Jeopardy) but it's true usefulness is its ability to be the voice hub for your smart home, if you're interested in having one...

GoPro - Karma Quadcopter with HERO5 Black - Black/White
Take aerial shots with this GoPro Karma drone. Its Karma Stabilizer lets the included HERO5 Black action camera capture shake-free videos, while the Karma Grip provides reliable stabilization for handheld and mounted filming. The game-style controller with an integrated touch display makes Karma easy and fun to fly.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Just curious what the flight time experience has been like. Says 20 minutes with no payload; however, is the camera considered "payload"? Is it 20 minutes WITH the camera? Also, how close to 20 minutes is the "actual" flight time?
Given that the camera is required to fly I wouldn't think that the camera is considered payload. I've never tried to fly with any payload mostly because I haven't needed to and it doesn't seem equipped to hold anything (you would have to use some ingenuity to attach something to it). I can speak as to how long it flies without any payload but obviously with the camera. And in my use, it's been between 18-19 minutes of flight time. The very first time I flew it, it landed itself due to low battery around the 18 minutes mark, even though on the handheld controller, the screen said there was 2 minutes of flight time left. I haven't flown it enough while taking video/stills to determine how much that drains the battery. Hope that helps.

Experience body-responsive gaming with the two PlayStation Move motion controllers. The built-in camera lets you take clear photos, and the stereo headphones provide rich sound. Challenge your gaming ability with the VR Worlds game included with this Sony PlayStation VR bundle.
Is the camera of this bundle the latest one? The ps4 camera? Or the ps3 camera?
Yes, the bundle comes with the newest model camera. The packaging and promotions for the PSVR actually show the older model (which as I understand, will still work). This camera is completely different than the PS3 version.

Google - Pixel 4G LTE with 32GB Memory Cell Phone (Verizon)
Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
It is an unlocked phone, so I assume it is compatible with SIM card from other countries - is that correct?
I can't confirrm that it will work sims from other countries (depends on bandwidths) but I can absolutely confirm that putting a T-Mobile sim into this phone will work. Sorry couldn't give you a better answer!

GoPro - Dual Battery Charger - Black
Charge 2 GoPro lithium-ion batteries simultaneously with this GoPro AHBBP-301 charger that reliably draws power from select USB chargers, USB-enabled computers or GoPro wall or vehicle chargers (not included), so you can keep your camera ready for use.
Does this have the cable to connect charger to computer? Is there a cord that connects camera directly to computer or wall charger for charging? I think we lost ours.
It comes with a mini-USB cable which you can plug into your computer (I wouldn't recommend because of slow charging) and a wall charger. The same mini-USB cable plugs directly into the camera itself
