Is this smart bulb bundle a good deal?

A connected home is really cool, but can also be really expensive. This bundle from Merkury Innovations includes two 11-watt, 1,050 lumens bulbs (equivalent to a 75-watt incandescent bulb). The A21 shape and E26 base make these smart bulbs versatile; you can use them anywhere in your home, from the best smart lamps on your tables and counters to ceiling lights. With their in-built Wi-Fi, they connect directly to any 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network, no hub required.

The bulbs can be controlled individually or as a group using the free Geeni app on your smartphone, which is available for iOS and Android devices. You can also control them with your voice using Google Assistant, if you prefer a hands-free option. These bulbs cycle through millions of colors – you’ll be able to choose from a huge array of colors to suit your mood any time of day.

Smart light bulbs can help you save money, too, something we’re all trying to do right now. The estimated energy cost for these bulbs is just $1.20 per year, based on average usage of around three hours a day. Of course, this cost will vary depending on the rates in your area and your usage, but every little helps, right?

This two-bulb bundle saves you a lot of money compared to shopping for smart bulbs individually, and these LED bulbs have a long lifespan so you won’t need to replace them for ages.

Once you’ve bought that, why not check out some of the best Walmart Prime Day deals — who knows what else you might find?

Who does James Bond work for? And is MI6 real?

James Bond Specter double breasted

We have some news on the movement of the next James Bond. According to reports, we are looking at the final four (we know of three). Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Callum Turner (Eternity, One Night Only), and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, Challengers) are all in the final running to portray the next 007. We also, allegedly, have a fourth, unannounced actor in the running. But of course we do. And since we have news and movement on the James Bond front, I started thinking about what the next movie will be about. That took me down a rabbit hole, and I landed on a question. What is MI6? James Bond’s employer is a shadowy government agency, like Jason Bourne’s Treadstone or Ethan Hunt’s Impossible Mission Force (IMF). But there is one major difference between them and the organization that signs 007’s paychecks.

His is real.

A toast to excellence: Don’t overthink lighting a cigar…but don’t underthink it either

Face, Head, Person

When I first decided I was ready to try cigars for the first time, I was ready to jump right in and sit back to enjoy the experience. Then, something crazy happened. I couldn’t light it. It seemed so simple. Flame, meet cigar. It really couldn’t be that complicated. But I ran into a slew of problems. The wrong kind of flame, canoeing, an uneven burn, and the damn thing kept going out, causing me to restart the embarrassing process. So I reached out to my friends over at La Aurora to find out what I was doing wrong.

That is when I found out from their own John Gaglio that these issues are very common and there is no reason to be embarrassed. Instead, don’t overthink lighting your cigar. And don’t underthink it. Instead, try to use the following tips and enjoy the experience without shame.

Topgolf brings back John Daly to continue to “disrupt” the game

To the uninitiated, golf can feel like a stuffy game. There is a dress code, there is an etiquette, and you even have to be quiet. At a sporting event. For those of us who love golf (don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan but believe it is called golf because the other four-letter words are taken), we recognize golf isn’t stuffy as much as it is steeped in tradition. But there has always been one man who shirked the shackles of the tradition and disrupted the game of golf with one of the most immaculate vibes in the sport, John Daly. With his drinking, smoking, wild pants, wilder mouth, and general who-gives-a-sh*t nature, he was everything golf wanted to keep out. Now, the game embraces him and his vibe, and Topgolf brought him in to continue the disruption.

I love the vibe at Topgolf. It’s a place where you can smash a golf ball, listen to music, have a drink, and enjoy yourself with friends and family. That’s my kind of golf. – John Daly
