Oh, Angry Birds. The addicting mobile game has been infiltrating our lives one bird at a time until we are so hooked that reaching the next level becomes an obsession. Whether you play it on occasion or are compulsively hurling birds each and every day, we suspect these annoying little feathered creatures have wormed their way into your hearts in one twisted fashion or another. Why not bring the game into real life with these plush Angry Birds toys? It’s a slippery slope, we know. The Angry Birds Plushies ($10 each) are officially licensed by Rovio and come in a variety of different characters from the game, including those grumbly green pigs. The toys are palm-sized, which means they are perfect for aiming at people or random household objects. Not only do they throw well, but tap the forehead of your bird before you launch it and it will scream “Wheeeeeeeeee” all the way to your target. If you really want to bring the game to life, collect all the plush toys, set up the pigs, and have at it. Unfortunately the green pigs will not disappear into thin air when you hit them, sorry about that.

Beyond the Boundary Wire: How Yardcare and the New N1600PRO are Leading the Robotic Mower Revolution
With automated routes and advanced mapping, Yardcare N1600 PRO robot lawn mower is made to meet modern lifestyle with smart precision.
Grass, Lawn, Plant

The weekend morning dread is a real situation, and homeowners know it pretty well. I've often woken up with the realization that the next few hours will be spent toiling with the hum of a petrol engine machine and hours of pushing a heavy mower around the yard. We’ve all been there, sweating under the sun, in our quest to achieve a green carpet that looks fine at best, but rarely ever achieves the work done by an expert. A fully automated solution should address all those problems, but finding a reliable one isn't a cakewalk.

The hassles of setting up boundary wire, mastering the navigation, and requiring constant manual supervision don't really sound like an autonomous dream. But tech is finally catching up, and one of its best specimens is Yardcare’s N1600PRO. The latest from Yardcare ensures that lawn care no longer means non-stop manual effort, but relaxed efficiency. If you're a homeowner who is increasingly leaning toward automation to take care of your yard space, Yardcare is here to help you make that smart shift with the N1600PRO.
