Well, better late than never but I suddenly recalled a conversation with my Keoni over dinner time more than two weeks ago. It was close to Valentines’ day and my sweetie pie of a son asked me, “Mom, what gadget do you want for Valentine’s Day?” It suddenly dawned on me. He didn’t just ask what I wanted, he said what GADGET do you want!! Wow!

Valentines’ is now but a faint memory and I actually got some chocolates and flowers but what really caught my fancy was my son’s willingness to find out what gadget his techie mommy wanted. Well here are some items I woulda wanted to receive, but instead I got the best luvin’ this side of heaven from my wonderful guys… Joey and Keoni! But what the heck! I’m still sharin’ my wish list…

Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop

The Lightscoop has probably been the most useful photography accessory one may purchase this year. A gal pal of mine has this and she said that for months she was avoiding taking pictures indoors or in low-light because she hated how the pictures would turn out using the pop up flash. The Lightscoop improved her pictures and allowed her to stalk the kids with camera in hand from morning to night.
