Now, I know what you’re thinking – why in the world do we need a crowdfunding campaign for measuring spoons, of all things? Well, the clever folks over at Welcome Industries has a great idea, and that’s why the campaign for Visual Measuring Spoons exists.

Now Funding: Bird Buddy
If you want them, you can have cameras all over your house – inside and outside. Stand-alone cameras, cameras embedded in doorbells, floodlights with cameras built in. In other words, all sorts of options for home security. What if, instead, you wanted to keep an eye on your feather friends? That’s what the crew behind Bird Buddy thought they’d create.

Now Funding: MuteMe
A great number of us – and likely you, if you’re reading this site – have found themselves on a LOT more remote conference calls this year than we ever thought we would be. And, at least once a day, there’s someone who’s not aware of being muted (or unmuted) when they should be. Enter MuteMe.

Now Funding: Monument 2 Photo Storage
There’s no arguing that the ubiquity of digital cameras – and now rather quite-good cameras on our phones – that we are quickly getting overrun by our digital photos. If you stay on top of organizing things (say, after a trip or event) you’re good. But if you just click away and take a look every now and again, it’ll be hard to find what you want. That’s what the Monument 2 is looking to solve.

Now Funding: Cap-Extractor
I know – we’ve been on a bit of a tear this week with covering interesting crowd-funding campaigns. While the ones earlier in the week are ones I’d certainly support, today’s is one that’s, well, a bit of a head-scratcher. Meet Cap-Extractor.

Now Funding: Trekka Element Jacket
Whenever I’m considering what gear – and specifically, what clothing – to bring on a camping trip, one big consideration is “will this melt if it gets an ember on it?” That’s the issue with synthetic materials – while they can be breathable and waterproof, they’ll not stand up to heat. That is, until this Trekka Element Jacket hit Kickstarter.

BrillLock, a door lock with fingerprint reader. Great idea, bad execution
You know how much people love to unlock phones with their fingerprint, right? It’s fast, it works while wearing a face mask, and is generally regarded as being one of the great things about phones since its debut in Apple’s iPhone 5s. What if you could unlock a door the same way?

Now Funding and in review: The GIGA Pump 2
Today, we’ve got an interesting little gadget that you may think is more of a gimmick than anything – but my experience has shown that the GIGA Pump 2 is actually a pretty useful little pump.

Now Funding: The Leitners Ad Maiora Hybrid Smartwatch
When you hear the term “hybrid smartwatch”, what is it you think of? Most likely, you’re picturing a watch that has an analog display (for reading the time) along with a (usually) smaller LCD for giving you some notifications. Well, that’s sort of what we have here with the Leitners Ad Maiora – but not exactly.
