Some folks really love thunder and lightning outside their window. They appreciate the booming sounds while reading a good book or watching TV. Stormy weather just makes you so grateful you are inside cozy and dry. It’s creates the most perfect atmosphere for loving your home more than ever. 

That’s why designer Richard Clarkson invented an interactive light and speaker that makes you feel like you have a mini thunderstorm in your living room. 

Watch the video to see just how real the storm cloud light makes you feel. 

The lamp plays sounds and flashes a Philips LED light to simulate a real thunderstorm. The unit features  a Bluetooth speaker so you can sync the thunder flashes to the beat of the music. Scary but fun.

Get ready to part with some bucks if you are interested in buying the lamp. Retails at $3,360.

I saw it for myself. Miami is destined to become a technology center. We attended eMerge Americas, a two-day technology event.  

EMerge said, “The first day was filled with excitement as 13,000 attendees converged at the Miami Beach Convention Center for eMERGE 2016. Manny Medina, founder of eMERGE Americas, kicked off the event sharing his vision with the world of making Miami the next big information and tech hub with such an amazing event.”

The numbers:
+400 Companies Represented
110 Startups in the showcase

This is all good news for me. I hope to be involved in the growth of tech in Miami.

A male friend of mine, age 78, recently confided that his wife is cheating on him. It was difficult at first for me to believe this because they have been married for over 50 years, are close with their children and grandchildren, have several homes, and travel extensively together. 

The problem is that they moved into a fancy golf club community in Palm Beach, FL last year and things haven’t been the same since. As crazy as this seems, my friend feels his wife is cheating on him with one of the golf instructors.  

That’s only the beginning. He wants to install a surveillance system in his home or hire a private investigator. I’ve been thinking about him for days. I don’t know if he is just losing his mind or this is a real situation. I certainly can’t ask his wife.

I feel so sorry for him. He is so depressed. I did learn about a new gizmo that could prevent anyone else from sleeping in his bed. I haven’t told him about it yet and may never get around to it. However, I will share it with you. 

There is a mattress company in Madrid called Durmet that has a companion Smarttress app that tells you if there is motion on your mattress. The app sends a warning if there is repeated impact and the duration. So if my pal is out of his house for a few hours, he doesn’t have to worry about someone replacing him right in his own bed. He will get an alert that tells him everything he needs to know.
