Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet

Here’s a very cool piece of tech that’s great for anyone with an artistic side or anyone who is exploring their creative talent. The Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet is a small device, about 8″ X 6″ and as thin as a cell phone that connects by Bluetooth (certain models) or USB-C adaptor to a PC, Mac or Chromebook or Android device, allowing the user to see on their device what they are sketching on the Intuos with the included digital pen. So all kinds of art can be created, from clothing designs to funny comics to trippy op art; what can be made on the Wacom Intuos is limited only by the user’s imagination (we like to doodle silly little cartoon animals on ours!) And there are lots of software applications that can be installed to enhance what can be done on the creative pen tablet, including software that lets the user edit PDFs or photos and sign or otherwise make notes on documents. Some software offers are included at no charge with the initial purchase. Wacom Intuos comes with a digital pen (which has different heads depending on what you’re doing), charging cord and of course instructions which show how to change the pen heads. So whether you’re working from home or creating your animated masterpiece on an airplane, Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet is an amazing, easy to use and amazingly fun tool. Available in black, pistachio or berry. Order Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet and find out more about what you can do with it here.

iMemories

Here’s something that folks with physical photographic archives will love; iMemories is a service that converts photos, slides, movies and VHS tapes to digital files so that these precious memories of travel and family events can be preserved for future generations. Here’s how it works. Purchase the iMemories SafeShip Kit; you’ll use it to send your photos, etc. to iMemories. You can also use your own box if you like but the SafeShip Kit is convenient to the extent that it includes packing material and a pre-paid label to ship by FedEx. Once iMemories receives your package they’ll get to work on converting your material to digital files so that you can then stream them on devices like your smart TV, phone and tablet. Of course you will get your physical material back too. Fees charged are by the photo, slide, video tape or, for movies on reel, per 50 feet of film. iMemories also offers, at an additional fee, AI enhancement that will clean up a lot of flaws that your media may have; this will give your files up to three times more clarity than your original photo or video as it removes imperfections and improves color accuracy. iMemories really is a godsend for those who want to make sure that kids and grandchildren can see visuals that might otherwise be ephemeral. Order the iMemories SafeShip Kit here.

Daily Shade Kids Sunscreen

Whether on a family outing to the beach or just playing in the yard, kids are very susceptible to overexposure to the sun. That concerning fact is more important than might be initially thought as science has proven that the greatest lifetime risk for skin cancer happens during childhood. Parents can improve the odds (right now about 1 in 5 Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer each year) by applying Daily Shade sunscreen to their kids before they go out in the sun. Formulated especially for children, Daily Shade is a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen that is water resistant for up to 40 minutes. It is pediatrician approved, hypo-allergenic, reef friendly and is not tested on animals. It has no dyes, artificial fragrances or parabens, is vegan and uses only nano zinc oxide. While younger kids will likely not understand all of that, here’s something they’ll relate to and appreciate: Daily Shade goes on invisible and is “ghost face” free. In other words they won’t be out having fun with a whitish cast over their face. The makers of Daily Shade chose their name for a reason; kids should be wearing this sunscreen every day that they’re out in the sun. To lower kid’s sunburn and skin cancer risks order a good supply of Daily Shade here.
