| Ideas come and go. The Post-It Extreme goes nowhere! Posted: 22 Mar 2018 12:16 PM PDT There’s always one guy in the office who has no regard for refrigerator or microwave ethics. You need to make sure you write your name on your food or it disappears… or you’re left with a funky microwave because someone heated leftover seafood in it. Next time, you can just leave a post-it note around and know that rules will be followed. Post-It Extreme was made for this express purpose. Meant more for leaving notes that stick longer than for your impromptu brainstorming sessions, the Extreme 3″ x 3″ sticky notes are water resistant and durable. Sporting the same repositionable glue like its predecessor, the Extreme notes won’t crumple or peel off due to moisture, making them perfect for use not only on the outside but even inside the fridge, or in the shower to remind bae to clean up the residual hair after a bath. Avoid confrontation… leave a friendly, durable reminder! Designer: The 3M Company. |
| From Nutella to Steaks, the Morsel Lets You Eat All! Posted: 22 Mar 2018 11:01 AM PDT Designed not only for utilitarian reasons but to also allow you to be an absolute foodie wherever you go, the Morsel was named for its ability to let you eat every last morsel of food kept in front of you. Designed in the spork format, the Morsel is made out of BPA free plastic, but what’s really unique is its rubber edge around the specially designed spoon that lets you virtually get every molecule of food off your plate, bowl, or from inside a jar. The Morsel’s design is conducive to use both indoors and outdoors. Its unconventional, edgy shape looks playful and the colors stand out both in the kitchen as well as the rustics. Its unique shape allows it to work as a spoon, a spreading knife and even a spatula, getting into the hard-to-reach corners of cups, jars, and bags. The Morsel comes in two sizes, with the larger one giving you a substantial handle to hold onto as you eat, or even cook. The Morsel can take its fair share of temperature, allowing you to do everything from toss salads bacon strips on the griddle. Use the spoon for spreading and scooping, the fork for piercing, or the fork’s rugged edge for cutting through food. When you’re done, literally wipe your plate clean with the spoon’s spatula edge! Designers: Alex Thomsen & Zac Rubenson
Scrape every last bit of food, every single time. More food in your stomach, less cleaning, and less waste. |
| A Speaker and Headphones in Harmony Posted: 22 Mar 2018 11:00 AM PDT As designer Deepanjan Sinha puts it, Plus (earphones) and Nest (speaker) “bridge the gap between public and private listening.” The two products are not only aesthetically connected but functionally fused! Nest serves as both a sound hub and a wireless charger for the headphones. Let’s say you’re on a run listening to music on the Plus phones. Once you get home, you can remove the headphones, place them on the Nest and your music will automatically switch to the speaker so you never miss a beat. Of course, if you want to use your headphones while someone else uses the speaker, simply adjust the settings on the minimal user interface. Designer: Deepanjan Sinha |

| Posted: 22 Mar 2018 01:32 AM PDT There are two problems with peripheral power banks: they’re either cumbersome because it becomes an entirely separate device you’re married to OR it’s integrated into your case transforming your otherwise slim phone into a massive brick. The Cling charger finds the sweet spot between these two types of power banks. This wireless charging design utilizes rare-earth magnets to cling on to your device so it can be removed quickly and easily as needed. Better yet, the magnet system if double-sided so you can attach it to any metal surface for selfies or group photos! When it is attached, however, it won’t block your camera and is shaped ergonomically so your phone rests comfortably in your hand. The modular design can also be used in any vertical outlet and your phone will stay put! Designer: Jay Kim Four powerful rare-earth magnets to securely cling on to your device. Charging system without blocking the camera. Interchangeable modular system. Module #1: Wall Adapter – True cordless charging Module #2: Wired Adapter – Charge on your bedside table Module #3: LED Flashlight – Better photos and selfies Thanks to the rare-earth magnet it can be attached to any metal structure. |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2018 04:00 PM PDT Not many people have the luxury of gaming on a massive screen, but Logitech’s G560 Lightsync actually gives you a surround screen effect with a surround sound effect. The 2.1 speaker system comes with two mid-range speakers and a subwoofer, but what’s interesting is that on the speaker’s back are light panels that cast light on the wall behind you. When paired with a game or movie, the speakers can appropriately cast the correct colors, matching the ones on the screen, to make your viewed image seem bigger or more immersive. Since your eye really focuses on one part of the screen, blurring out the rest, the colored wall helps your movie or game seem much larger than life… and with Logitech’s incredible sound, you’ll absolutely be immersed in whatever you’re watching!

| Making sliding doors more user-friendly! Posted: 21 Mar 2018 02:00 PM PDT I know we’ve got a long way to go before we can end world hunger and save the environment, but baby steps will get us there. For now, we’ve successfully ended the need to use only your hands to open sliding doors. The Smart Slider allows you to, in the event your hands are unavailable, use your feet to open or close sliding doors! Excellent for literally anywhere you’d use a sliding door, the Smart Slider works great for the disabled, or if your hands are occupied. Sliding is something that can’t really be done without a level of dexterity which only comes from hands, but the Smart Slider sits at the base of the door, giving your foot the ability to push the door open sideways. Yes, it’s literally that simple. I’m stunned we’ve been living without this all this while. Designer: Smart Slider |
