Spread the love to your kids this Valentine's Day with well spent quality time, great food, fun toys, board games or movie night.

Today we hit the turf with the new Gyrocopters 8FINITI All-Terrain Hoverboard. I tested this out for myself (and you), and now I present the results.

When thinking of a drone, the image of a quadcopter probably comes to mind, and that’s what makes the Parrot Disco so unique. It’s a fixed-wing drone, with entirely different design and flight mechanics than just about anything else in the consumer drone category. Taking this for a few sessions feels like wielding power in the air.

 Today I review a cool new handheld camera from called the DJI OSMO Zenmuse X3 Handheld 4K Camera with Gimbal System. If you’re into photography and shooting your own videos and would like something for ground based shots that’s as good as you’d get with the highest end drones, click on through and read all about it!

For the most part, many of the iOS based toys nowadays have potential, but are very limited to what they can do. The Parrot Mini-Drones for example were fun, but not that expansive in ability. They both also cost more than the Sphero Ollie, a brand new challenger into the fold. Ollie comes from the same science and physics loving minds behind the Sphero and promises to continue branching fun and physics at an affordable price. You know what? It’s great fun too.  Come check out the Sphero Ollie.

On your mark, get set, GO! Summer is here and the kids are ready to have fun. Time to prepare the applications, accessories and projects that will make your computer a key part of their holiday fun!
