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: 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.
(more…)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.

Then, if you get serious about it, you realize that there’s a lot more that can go into shoe selection (it’s why stores will precisely measure your foot and check your stride to recommend things). What if you’ve embraced the “barefoot style” and want to run? There are a few brand that comes to mind (Xero and Vivo) but those tend to eschew the cushiony feel of running shoes. Enter NimbleToes.

The iPad pro is definitely one of the more powerful tablets out there. With it?s pen support, larger screen, and additional capabilities that come with that hardware, there could certainly be a temptation to use it as an ultra-lightweight laptop replacement. If you?re planning to do any sort of writing (text, code, whatever) I?m guessing the pen input is not what you want. For that, you want a keyboard. Well, how about a keyboard that makes the iPad Pro look almost like a MacBook, complete with trackpad? That?s what the Libra keyboard is offering up.
