So traditional toys come in handy in such situations.  Playing with toys has a tremendous impact on many elements of a child's life, in addition to exposing them to social interactions.

 Today's review is the Linkimals toy set by Fisher Price, these are a series of electronics toys that all have a bluetooth connection with each other and can sing, dance and do educational games with your kids. There are a bunch of different animals to choose from and they come in two basic sizes.  The Small ones are a Moose and a Beaver The larger ones include a hedgehog, sloth, panda, otter, penguin, lama, turtle, and a koala Each of the toys are completely independent and you only need to have one to play with. However the real joy is collecting a few of them and getting them all to sync up. They then sing a variety of songs and dances that are easy for kids to sing along too. My daughters favorite song is when each of them sing about being friend and they all go around and introduce themselves. As you can hear not all of them are on the shelf and it looks like Panda and Otter are not on. The team has dozens of song and it seems the more of the set you have the more songs t...

 Well it is finally here. I have been looking for a place to store and back up my family pictures as well as important documents such as tax returns and other financial and personal documents so I have been looking into getting my own personal cloud. After a good bit or research I decided to go with the Western Digital EX2. I happened to get the 8TB size but you can chose from a wide array of sizes including getting a bare box and adding your own dives to it.

 Hi everyone! So I recently have been looking for a way to get my prints off the printer in a cleaner way. I have been traying the typical hair spray / glue stick on the glass bed and that has done me well so far but I was really looking for something a bit easier to use. I recently came across a flexible bed made by Fulament. Now I have seen these flexible beds before but they always seemed to be cheap thin little parts that I was worried would never stay flat. This bed is however is great, for just $50 (a bit more if you want the textured version) is very thick. On top of that the magnet comes with a very sticky adhesive 3M backing and stuck solid to the aluminum platform. Installation process was simple 1. Take off the glass 2. Clean the surface with the supplied alcohol pads 3. Attached the magnet and snap on the plate. 4. re-level the print bed That's it! Print performance has been great, I have done a dozen prints or so and they come of clean and I don't have to wash off ...
