Here is a really neat little product. The Plume Wi-Fi System does away with this paradigm of distributing your Wi-Fi completely, using a series of tiny Pods scattered throughout your house to ensure coverage, and shifting the routing duties to the cloud. As a result, it's able to respond to varies demands and conditions, optimizing the network in real-time to deliver maximum performance. They don't look too shabby either, in champagne, silver, or black, so unlike that old router, you don't need to hide these behind your desk. They are currently only available for pre-orders for 6 minimum pods for $39 each, so about $234 for all 6 plumes which work great for 2 to 3 bedroom homes.
There seems to never be enough chairs or table space at gatherings. I think having a few Briefcase Picnic Tables would do the job. This outdoor picnic table can be folded and transformed into a briefcase for easy storage and transportation. It's made with lightweight and durable aluminum frame. You can get one on Amazon for about $68.
Folds compactly for easy storage or transport
Constructed of high impact wood top, it has an aluminum alloy frame for durability
Lightweight yet heavy duty
Combination of aluminum and steel parts for lighter weight and stronger construction

I'm sure this will be in my home. The convenience of always-on voice controls meets the power of the world's biggest search engine in Google Home. Like Amazon's Alexa, the Google Assistant lets you ask questions, set times, and control internet devices using your natural language. It also supports Google Cast, meaning you can play songs on any Cast-enabled speaker (including the Home itself), link them together for whole-home audio, and even pick out and start watching TV shows using nothing but your voice. Interchangeable bases let you match the device to your decor, and since developers are getting a look at it months before its official debut, you can count on it having a few surprise features when it launches later this year.
Hermanns company has started the wooden surfboard collection and they're looking for backers on Kickstarter. They want to revive the original Surf-Spirit and to search for an alternative to environmentally harmful material. Why? Because conventional surfboards and how they were constructed are hazardous wastes which can never decompose - not even in a thousand years. So check out these beautiful boards and check out more about the company here.
Now this is a interesting turntable and here is why. In many ways, playing a record is the antithesis of streaming. The Trntbl Turntable ($350 pre-order $450 retail) promises to bring the two experiences together in an interesting ways. It can automatically identify what you're spinning, letting you share via social media, or show your Spotify friends what's playing, with a "Tune In" feature that lets them listen along in real-time. It can also stream audio wirelessly to Sonos, AirPlay, and Bluetooth speakers. As for the turntable itself, it comes in matte black or soft creme, with a minimal design that uses high-quality components, including gold-finished buttons, tonearm, and counterweight and a frosted acrylic platter.

BMW has unveiled a tribute to the BMW M family’s compact high-performance sports car: the BMW Cruise M Bike Limited Edition. A core stylistic element of the bike is its Long Beach Blue metallic paint finish, which matches the official color of the BMW M2 Coupe.
Like the M2 Coupe, the BMW Cruise M Bike Limited Edition – which will be produced in a limited run of 1,500 units – boasts exceptional dynamics and agility.The bike cuts a powerful figure thanks to the hydro-formed aluminium frame’s distinctive “bullneck” – reminiscent of the tank position on a motorcycle – and its clear transitions in form.
The bike’s striking design concept is complemented by high-quality technical components, which generate a special feeling on the road. The carbon seat post and spacer ensure the BMW Cruise M Bike Limited Edition is a light yet also a strong device. With larger wheels (now 28 inches), a 30-gear system and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, it has all the tools to deliver the last word in riding pleasure – on straight roads and twisty or hilly routes alike.
Every example of the limited-run special edition also has its own specially made plaque. The BMW Cruise M Bike Limited Edition is available at selected BMW retail partners for about $1,585.
Time to take control of all your music across your entire home with the Nativ Music System (MSRP $1599). At the heart of the system is the Nativ Vita, a standalone music player that can access songs from built-in storage, Apple Music, Spotify, and most other streaming services, or from your local network, and let you browse them easily with its 11.6-inch touchscreen. It even has the capacity to hold a 4TB hard drive or two 2TB hard drives. It delivers bit-perfect audio to connected equipment, supports playback of DSD, DXD, and PCM audio files, lets you stream music videos to your TV over HDMI or Google Cast, and has a dedicated output stage to remove noise and jitters from the signal. It's made by hand from high-grade aluminum, Asahi glass, and solid American Oak or Walnut, and performs even better with the company's matching Wave DAC and Pulse power supply.
