In the midst of all that’s going on in the world, it may be surprising (or not) to hear that, yes, brands are still rolling out new products. One such of those is Casio Edifice, who actually released these models prior to the global pandemic truly setting in.

Hearing what you’ve missed with a Vizio Soundbar
When it comes to your home theater setup, I think a great many of us fall into the category of being happy enough with what comes out of the stock speakers on the TV. Sure, a full-blown 5.1 or 7.1 setup would be awesome, but it’s not like you could crank it it up when the kids are in bed. Well, that’s where something like this 20″ Vizio Soundbar comes into play, and I was quite pleasantly surprised once I had it setup and we started using it.

KN Recommends: work-from-home setup options
In case you haven’t heard, we’ve got a bit of a pandemic going on right now. Global, even. That means that quite a large percentage of the workforce has shifted to remote working to keep the lights on. While that means network infrastructure has been tested, you might also be testing your home work setup. To that end, we here at KN have some recommendations for you to consider to bolster your productivity. (image credit: Malte Mueller/Getty Images/fStop)

During the CoronaVirus shutdown, Ergatta wants to help you stay healthy
I’m guessing that most of us, at this point, have been long-missing from the gym. For some of us, that’s a conscious choice. For others, like myself, it’s a decision that was made for us (albeit a good one in the midst of this pandemic). If you’ve got some extra coin to spend, and want to get your row on in the comfort of your home, the Ergatta Rower is calling your name.

Dragons and dice and dungeons! It’s Wyrmling Dice!
See, I told you yesterday that it’s a great time for dice collectors of all stripes. Yesterday we talked about a cool resin dice set. What if you want something that’s heavier? That’s metal! And if you want a more-compact metal set, then this campaign for the Wrymling Dice is what you need to look at.

Here, fishy fishy! Oh, those are dice?
Back when I first started into the world of tabletop roleplaying games, it felt like my dice choices were limited. I had some handed down from my cousin, and eventually it was picking up some basic colors from the local shop. Well, now, there is an amazing array of makers out there creating lovely custom stuff. One of ones that caught my eye recently is the Keyfish Crit by Green Leaf Geek.

Even in the midst of the pandemic, you can still think about Trekking the World
Perhaps not in the way you may think, but what if you could travel the world – all from the comfort of your own dining room table? That’s what the Kickstarter for Trekking the World is all about.

The Coalatree Switchback is ready to adventure travels
I’ve written a fair amount about Coalatree (seen here), and I’ve even spent some time with a pair of their comfortable and travel-ready Trailhead pants. They took their know-how from the coffee-derived hoodie and have a short-sleeved shirt ready for the warm weather, in the form of the Coalatree Switchback.

Put your marbles on the run with the Makeway
And now, as Monty Python used to say, it’s time for something completely different. At some point in your life, you’ve probably played with a marble run. Perhaps it was the Nintendo game, or those simple wooden blocks. Or maybe even some plastic tower contraption (which is what my kids have in the basement). Well, something that you can stick onto a metal surface elevates things – and that’s what the MakeWay is offering.

Are you not entertained? If not, then perhaps Gladius is what you need
The crew here at KN, we like ourselves some games. Be it video games, TTRPGs, or classic tabletop games, we like to play games. I can’t speak for everyone else, but for me that takes the form of playing with my family, and playing over lunch with co-workers. It’s that latter group that seems well-suited to Gladius.
