Join Help Lost Stuff Find Its Way Home
Have you heard about RuMe? Great concept. It is a Denver based company that created a line of reusable (hence ReUseMe…RuMe) bags, travel accessory bags, even a cuff with a pocket. Yet theirs don’t look like your typical ‘go green’ type bags. These have a sense of style. Recycled aluminum iPhone cases crept into the product offering too. In the interest of safety – both for property and people – RuMe has another product category that could come in handy for our luggage, pets or anything you don’t want to lose.

Hear Your Wallet Talk Back
We all enjoy opening our wallets don’t we? OK, sometimes. But often nothing exciting happens. Usually we pay money out. Theoretically we receive something in return. Parents, some days feel like that is all you do. Some smart folks decided to add a diversion to the simple process of opening your wallet which could make it a little less painful…or at least less serious.

Show Your Creativity With a 3D Pen
Say you had a goal. Not only did you meet your goal you reached it to the tune of 6241%. Probably a good indication you succeeded, eh? Meet 3Doodler, a 3D pen. Their creators began a Kickstarter campaign earlier this year to raise $30,000. With 26 days to go they have $1.8m pledged. I think 3Doodler has a future, how about you? In a world of partially funded projects it is nice to see someone hit it out of the proverbial ballpark.

Better Rest While Traveling
Ahhhh the joys of travel. Vacation trips are certainly worth the hassle of getting there and back. Work trips – not so much. Any experienced traveler knows that keeping yourself comfortable and relaxed during the transit process is key. Comfortable clothes help. Maybe you enjoy having your tunes or movies pumping into your ears. If you intend to sleep, prevent the “35,000 foot head bob” as I like to call it, that boomerang type action that you subconsciously undertake when letting your head relax to one side or another. It is amazing more travelers don’t end up with whiplash when attempting to correct the head bob. Maybe you have a travel pillow – you know, those C shaped things – which helps, but the weight of your head still cranes your neck in directions that really can’t be good for us.

A Ring to Help You Think
Do you fidget when you think? Maybe you have a nervous habit or action that you subconsciously do when the wheels in your head start churning. Twirling hair (well, for long haired folks), messing with fingernails, the perpetually bouncing “nervous knee”, flipping your pen, you name it. We are creatures of unintentional habits some of which seem to be directly connected to thinking. It’s almost like we have to stoke the fire in our mind with these interesting actions. Playing with jewelry is no exception to these habits.

Handheld LCD Magnifier
Aging sucks, but it is a rite of passage that we all must go through. In fact, I am starting to feel the effects of plunging headlong into my 30s, and somehow, the energy that I used to possess just a couple of years ago is no longer there. Parts of the body are guaranteed to fail in due time, or at least, have its performance deteriorate over the course of time. Apart from one’s hearing, sight too, is a sense that will start to blur due to the scourge of time. Well, good thing we live in this day and age where there is technology to help us out, and the $329 Handheld LCD Magnifier is one nifty device which delivers up to 13.6x magnification, all in the palm of your hand.
This ultra-portable video magnifier is extremely lightweight and a snap to use, where only three buttons are available for you to use, and it sports a wide 3.5″ screen with anti-blur technology. The images that appear will come in color, black and white, or reverse, and you can also opt for freeze frame too. All you need to do is run the magnifier across your paper, and your eyes need not squint nor work that hard to read all those fine print. It is ideal for travel and for folks who have aging eyes or impaired vision, where the assistance of a strong LED light and a rechargeable Li-lon battery will offer around 2.5 hours of “playback time”, so to speak.
Nokia Asha 310 does the dual SIM dance
When it comes to smartphones, you can more or less say that Nokia has already lost the race a long time ago across the globe, no thanks to full touchscreen devices from the iOS and Android camps. Well, the Finnish phone manufacturing company has come up with their Windows Phone 8 collection of handsets recently, but this does not mean that they have forgotten to cater to other developing countries whose population do not have the kind of purchasing power to change their smartphone every single year to a new flagship model. Featurephones, then, still have a place in this world, and the Nokia Asha 310 is the latest featurephone to arrive from Nokia, sporting dual SIM capability not to mention Wi-Fi connectivity for the first time in a device of its class.

Pedometer Walking Stick
Now, the $99.95 Pedometer Walking Stick is something that folks should have thought up of in the first place, but somehow or rather, no one came up with it until the folks at Hammacher did. As the name implies, this walking stick boats of a built-in pedometer which is more than capable of tracking steps, distance, time, and calories. It is constructed from lightweight yet sturdy aluminum, where the stick itself will assemble from two halves, twisting and locking into place without taking up too much of your time. Right below the handle on the shaft itself lies the pedometer that will activate automatically whenever its rubber tip strikes the ground.
