Deal: Amazon Echo Dot for $29

By

The little Amazon Echo Dots are incredibly handy and are available for just $29 (reg. $49) this weekend as part of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. I’ve got a couple of the Echo Dots (and just ordered another), along with the larger Amazon Echo, which has great, full sound. I continue to be surprised at how much we enjoy using Alexa for music and general voice apps. Our kids love playing 20 Questions and other games and stories.

The Echo isn’t really photography-related but it’s a great electronic accessory at an incredible value. You can find great deals on the Amazon Echo devices, Fire TV, tablets and other Amazon devices here on Amazon.com.

Weather Channel’s Video of Georgia Dome Implosion is Hilariously Interrupted

By

After 40 minutes of live streaming the wait up to the Georgia Dome’s implosion, a surprise photobomber ruins the big moment.

There are only about 5 seconds of total action as a demolition crew implodes the Georgia Dome and the Weather Channel camera crew have the perfect spot to capture the moment. Unfortunately, no one thought about a Marta bus pulling in front of the camera at the climax.

In the background, you can hear the camera man quietly pleading for the bus to get out of the way – mixed in with a few bleeped-out expletives.

It’s not a total loss though. This fail moment has given the video a bit a traction as it has garnered nearly a million views over the past few days.
