Chrissy Teigen has already kicked off 2019 with a viral moment, but it must have hurt a bit.

Most umbrella purchases you’ve made haven’t been particularly well thought out. Most days, you find yourself sopping wet and scrambling into the nearest bodega or drugstore for a new one after misjudging the day’s forecast.
You can go on blaming your local weatherperson, or you can just invest in a legit umbrella. Here are two solid options:
Blunt Metro Umbrella
Featuring an innovative Radial Tensioning System that makes it easy to open with just one hand (see above), the Blunt Metro is a collapsible umbrella that fits easily into your backpack, briefcase, or purse. It is crafted with rip-resistant polyester — meaning it’s durable enough to hold up to wind speeds as strong as 55 miles per hour — and also comes GPS-ready with Tile integration support. (Say what now?)

A drone that follows you around with a sun-blocking umbrella is only a prototype, but it has a major flaw: it’s annoyingly loud.
Sure it’s a convenient way to stay out of the sun and keep your hands free, but the Japanese company Asahi Power Service’s “Free Parasol” concept still needs reworking.
Demos of the device have been around for the past few years and even in the latest video (at the top of this post) that annoying hum and buzz renders the entire concept useless.
Listen for just a few seconds and imagine walking around with that incessant buzzing for an hour — that’s how long the company wants to have the head-detecting drone last. The drone is expected to come to market in 2019, according to Tokyo-based SoraNews24. It’s intended for golfers on sunny greenways. Read more…
