Autobot Ukulele: Musicbots in disguise

Remember that tribute band you were going to form in college all dressed up as Transformers? Sure you don’t, but while we will forgive your selective memory, we couldn’t help bring to your attention the amazingly awesome and awesomely geeky Transformer themed Ukulele.

The Autobot Ukulele is handcrafted by Ashevill, NC’s Celentano Woodworks and is comprised of Ipe and Maple hardwoods. The wonderfully nerdy instrument costs $550, is custom made, and can be made to fit any size or shape. Music lovers and Transformers fanatics will surely love to hold one of these unique ukes in their hands and strum away, melting the face of any Decepticon foolish enough to get in range of its dulcet tones.

If you’re looking to snag one this holiday season, think again, unfortunately they are on back order, but you can still head over to Etsy and put your name on the waiting list.

When it comes to security camera deals, Blink is one of the most trusted names. That's why offers involving the brand almost always sell out quickly, which is what we expect to happen with Amazon's limited-time discount for a three-camera system of the Blink Outdoor 4. From the bundle's original price of $260, it's down to only $156 for huge savings of $104. You need to be fast with your purchase, as tomorrow may already be too late to get the package at 40% off.

Why you should buy the Blink Outdoor 4 security camera
The Blink Outdoor 4 is a fantastic outdoor security camera that's easy to set up around your home -- just place the three weather-resistant cameras in the locations that you want to monitor, plug in the included Sync Module where their recorded footage will be stored, and finish the installation through the Blink app. You'll be able to look through the lens of the cameras at any time through the app, and you don't have to worry about replacing their batteries often as two AA batteries will last up to two years. It's also highly recommended to sign up for a Blink plan to gain access to features such as cloud storage, person detection, and video sharing.

Anker Solix just opened preorders for the upcoming EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler, and it looks like a rugged (and powerful) companion for your next outdoor adventure. Available in three sizes and designed to withstand the usual dings and dents of travel, it’s a premium device that’ll keep your food and drinks cold for up to 52 hours on a single charge.

If you’ll be out in the wild for an extended length of time, this can be doubled to 104 hours with an optional second battery pack. That’s a mindblowing number, and it makes the EverFrost 2 the longest-lastest battery-powered cooler money can buy. By comparison, the old EverFrost could run for up to 42 hours.
