Last week, Overwatch celebrated its one-year anniversary by dropping scores of new event-themed character skins and extras to the game. But it also added three new maps for the game’s small-team and 1v1 Arena modes. It seems the title’s team wasn’t d…
The news about ex-Squad members leaving for Valve was ultimately overblown, but there’s still plenty of drama in the indie developer’s life: Take-Two Interactive has bought the rights to Kerbal Space Program. The move will turn the spaceship buildin…
To hear Samsung’s Galaxy S8 ad campaign tell it, the company’s Bixby digital assistant was already fully featured and ready to go at the handset’s launch. The reality is quite a bit different, however. Bixby Voice, the would-be competitor to Siri and…
But it’s weird not because it wasn’t designed in-house, and instead was handled by partner TCL; it’s weird because it’s strangely successful at pulling off an odd balancing act of combining modern functionality with the same kind of retro appeal Fujifilm has managed to infuse throughout their mirrorless camera lineup, with nostalgia for the earliest days of the… Read More
When you have a dog, it’s like raising a human who is perpetually 6 years old. They’re smart, but they are constantly trying to test their boundaries with what they can get away with. More importantly to dogs, how much trouble can they get into and still get treats in the same day. They try to eat things they shouldn’t, go to the bathroom in places they know they’re not supposed to, and rub their butts across the carpet, but when they make that cute face at you with the big round eyes full of love, it makes it all worth it (…usually).
If your little fur-child seems to enjoy romping out in the mud or coming home smelling less than pleasant, you probably want to give them a bath. Instead of having to live through those comedic movie scenes of a dog covered in bubbles running all over the house, you could instead get this Multi-Functional Dog Shower. This will attach to your home shower or garden hose, letting you choose how much cleanup after bath time you want to risk.
This comes with an adapter for indoor or outdoor use, it’s ergonomically designed to easily fit your hand, and will feel more like a massage to your dog than a bath. If anything, they’ll think they did something right with all the dedicated attention they’ll get. This is going to cost you $19.99, and will hopefully only need to be used once a month. For your sake.
Available for purchase on Amazon

This week the folks at Wacom have two new stylus releases in store for their “Bamboo” line. These devices look similar but act very different – in how they interact with their chosen devices, that is. The Bamboo Ink smart stylus works with Windows Ink, while the Bamboo Sketch smart stylus works with iOS devices of several sorts – not … Continue reading
Microsoft is betting big on Windows Mixed Reality, and it turns out PC makers are rising to the challenge with a variety of designs shown off this week at Computex 2017. The software giant’s decision not to make its own headset, following the Surface strategy, but throw the responsibility over to OEMs had led to some concern that we’d see … Continue reading
How do you make the Ford Focus RS better? Ford decided the easiest way to do that was to ask its most vocal fans what they wanted to see, and the result is this, the 2018 Limited-Edition Focus RS. Set to be produced in vanishingly small numbers, it’s the culmination of a driver wishlist we can totally get behind. On … Continue reading
Today Wacom revealed two new stylus devices, one of which works on the iPhone (and the iPad).

Patti LaBelle will add another honor to her already award-heavy career at the kick-off event for Black Music Month.
On June 1 in Nashville, the Grammy Award winner will be among this year’s distinguished group of music icons ― alongside gospel musician Kirk Franklin, singer Teddy Riley, and producer-composer David Porter ― to be honored during a “My Music Matters: A Celebration of Legends Luncheon.”
Launched in 2014 to recognize black music icons, the celebratory luncheon is an extension of the National Museum of African American Music’s (NMAAM) “My Music Matters” program, which explores the global impact of African- American music.
Despite her otherwise illustrious career, LaBelle told HuffPost that the museum’s recognition is among her most distinctive honors.
“We usually don’t get honored from other folks so we have to get our black honors, and it’s a great time to get it so the people can see how important we are,” she said. “Teddy Riley and all the work he’s done…It’s a great lift and it’s in your face saying, ‘Ok, we don’t forget our black talent or our black politicians’ or whatever it is. It’s a great honor to be in. Especially this time.”
Once completed in 2019, the 32-story museum ― which began construction in Nashville in April ― will serve as the leading museum “dedicated to all dimensions of African-American music” by celebrating and preserving the vast accomplishments of black music, according to NMAAM website.
Though Detroit and Philadelphia have often been credited as meccas for black music thanks to the cultural contributions of Motown Records and Philadelphia International Records, NMAAM President-CEO H. Beecher Hicks III told HuffPost that the museum’s Nashville location is actually a product of the Great Migration.
“When you look back historically at American music, one of the things that we say in Tennessee is that ‘Tennessee is the crossroads of American music,’” Hicks said. “Certainly, LA, Atlanta, Detroit, Philly and New Orleans are places around the country where American music is prominent, but historically speaking the Great Migration is what sent music in America primarily from out of the South up through Tennessee most of the time and to those northern and western cities. That’s why it’s such a rich tradition of all forms of American music in Tennessee, including Memphis and Nashville.”
Proceeds from the “My Music Matters: A Celebration of Legends Luncheon” will benefit the National Museum of African American Music. For more info head to the museum’s site.
