FAVI Kids Projector - Black (Refurb) Review

I use a projector daily at work. It's a high end one. We watch class movies, and I show PowerPoints, and Keynote presentations through them.

I always wanted a projector for home use. I think playing video games, and watching movies and shows through one sounds like a lot of fun. I even thought it would be a blast to have kids over on different nights to watch Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Ghost Busters, and Back to the Future. Anything that's a classic, and is a series.

I got FAVI Kids Projector - Black (Refurb) to review. It's fun having a projector at home. I'm kind of wishing that I never used a high end one. Now I know what I'm missing.

Pros:

• You can watch movies, or play games from a computer, or TV. You can even hook up home movies from a recorder to watch. 

• It has both USB and HDMI hook up ports.

• You can hook it up to your stereo system. It comes with cables to assist with that.

• It comes in: Black, Teal, Pink, and White.

• It has a remote that assists in the modes.

• It comes with a manual. 

Other Colors:

Teal

Pink

White

Cons:

• The blower is noisy.

• The sound from device to the projector is quiet. 

• While it comes in fun colors, I could only find the black one being sold.

• I had to go buy a cable to get it to work from my computer, or camera to the projector. 

• The remote needed 2 AAA batteries. This is common, but I thought I'd bring it up because I have gotten products that had the batteries included. 

• It's a small projector, so the image quality is just ok.

Here's the projector with the lens cap. I like that it has a lens cap. It will help protect it when in storage.

The lens cap fit well, but comes off easily to.

These are the cords it comes with:

The remote that needs 2 AAA batteries. I did find it odd that the remote is white, when the projector I got is black and grey. The remote does have a lot of options on it.

The manual is pretty easy to understand.

This is what the projector looks like on.

Do you have a home projector?

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

I started four weeks ago doing what I call Sing, Sing a Song Saturday.  I'm going to post one song on Saturdays that the boys or I like. I'll see how long I can keep it up.

The song may be part of a movie, a kid's video or just a song we like. It may or may not include words. I'll try and include why we like it and/or the history of the song/singer.

This video is made out of a lot of jelly beans. 288,000 is the magic number for Kina Grannis' "In Your Arms," which is made entirely of Jelly Belly jelly beans. A few more numbers: the project took 22 months, 1,357 hours, 30 people, two ladders and one still camera.

In the making-of video, Grannis spends a lot of time lying down on top of glass, under which lies the jellybean scenery backdrop. Some frames would take five minutes to shoot, others three hours. But their patience paid off!

Watch how the video was made:

Such a Smart Little Girl!

This is a great video! Please watch it:

Back to the Start

Both these video's are pretty cool. The first is a commercial and sang by Willie Nelson. The message is amazing. The second one is sang by Coldplay. It's the original. They will make you sad though. I love how one song can be interpreted differently. Both mean so much!

The original video is just as impacting. It's an accident backwards. Do you ever wish you could go backwards with something? Something so traumatic happens that you wish you could go back in time?
