Slow Dance's light effect slows down time to allow you to enjoy nature

Are you tired of plain pictures on your wall? Looking for something a little more dynamic? Slow Dance offers a unique visual display that is sure to wow everyone.

Slow Dance takes everyday objects like flowers and feathers and uses light technology to make them appear to move. A combination of strobe lights and rapid vibration gives this movement a slow-motion effect. Strobe lights are most commonly found in clubs on the dance floor and can give movement a stop-motion appearance — Slow Dance uses strobes at a speed of 80 blinks per minute so the light looks continuous. This functions similarly to a television, which flashes still images so rapidly they appear to be moving.

There are different modes you can choose from to make your object move in different ways. Slow Dance is the basic slow motion movement. Double Trouble makes the object look as though it split into two objects as it moves. Pop and Lock mode makes the object look like it’s dancing through space.

The frame is constructed of pine with recessed LED lighting and two springs that hold the feathers that come with the piece in place. These feathers can easily be removed and replaced with flowers, leaves, or branches. They even have a limited-edition version made of walnut. Only 10 of these special frames were constructed and they are all numbered and signed.

The project has been in the works for two years. The first version was created as a wedding gift, and from there the creators started a Kickstarter campaign for mass production. The project has raised over $190,000, well above its $70,000 goal.

Blink Video Doorbell vs. Ring Battery Doorbell: which is best for your front door?
Blink Video Doorbell installed

The Blink Video Doorbell just hit the market, and at just $60, it’s a frugal option for shoppers interested in bringing smarts to their front door. Featuring a two-year battery life, person detection, and an improved field-of-view, it’s a well-rounded device given its low price tag. However, the Ring Battery Doorbell is a perennial favorite — it’s not quite as new, but it’s loaded with premium features that have made it a common sight on porches across the planet. But is it the best option for your home? Here’s a look at the Blink Video Doorbell and the Ring Battery Doorbell to help you decide which to purchase.
Design

The Ring Battery Doorbell is built with its iconic black and silver design. The top portion of the rectangular device is black, and it houses the camera unit. The larger lower half is silver, and it’s where you’ll find the doorbell button with its cool blue glow. It’s a great-looking device, and it looks remarkably similar to all the other video doorbells in the Ring lineup. Alternatively, you can pick up a Venetian Bronze model that’s a bit darker.

This fragrance diffuser is one of my favorite smart home gadgets of 2025
The Aera Smart Diffuser on a table

We’re about halfway through 2025, and it’s a year that’s been filled with cool smart home products. From a robot vacuum with a robotic arm to a portable misting fan that’s perfect for the impending summer heat, I’ve had the pleasure of testing out dozens of truly unique products. Yet somehow, my favorite smart home gadget of 2025 (so far) is the Aera Smart Fragrance Diffuser -- a tiny little device that sits in the corner of my home and works tirelessly to fill my home with invigorating scents.

Living in a small space has its drawbacks. Scents from the kitchen, bathroom, and my makeshift home gym all comingle to create an environment that can sometimes be… uninviting. I’ve used candles and found them to do a good job of refreshing my home, but they need to be constantly monitored and aren’t the best way to keep a home smelling clean every hour of the day.
