Sexy bag. Reclaimed materials. Super-fancy (and expensive) clasps.
Boom.

Clever! Thinking about snagging one of these for the designs I post on I Have No Shirt.

A very clever alternative to a pencil-case or just letting your writing/drawing/creating materials roll around at the bottom of your day bag.
Uses reclaimed materials, too!

(via Looxcie Camcorder: Capture Unexpected Moments)
Along the same lines as the ZionEyez, Looxcie is a cool concept: a bluetooth-headset-looking device that records everything that goes on around you.
The killer app (in my mind) with the Looxcie, however, is the software. It records continuously, everything that’s happened for the past 10 hours. You can click a button, however, and it will save segments of time (going backward…so if something interesting JUST happened, you can click the button and it will save that interesting thing, even though you didn’t know it would happen ahead of time). This gives the wearer a lot of flexibility in how they use it, but also makes sure that the cool stuff gets picked up, while the boring stuff filters right out after a given amount of time.

(via ZionEyez | A Social Media Company)
I’m always on the lookout for interesting, low-key ways to record experiences, and these specs by ZionEyez are an interesting take on video acquisition.
I have two main concerns: 1) the style is a little ‘sci-fi’ for normal wear, so they wouldn’t be terribly useful ‘always available’ sunglasses unless you’re a cyborg or race car driver, and 2) the video quality is apparently a bit shoddy, especially in low-light (which wouldn’t be horrible, since I would probably use them as sunglasses, but still).
Otherwise, I’m looking forward to seeing this product come to market. Hopefully it does well, so they can keep expanding their line, and maybe such recording devices in clothing and accessories will become standard.

Curious to try out this new product by Jawbone. I’m not a health nazi, but I do like having random data to use when implementing new lifestyle experiments, and the vibrate-alarm would be worth it, even without the other features.
It compares favorably with the Fit Bit when it comes to portability, too, it would seem.

(via Slim Slimmy Ultra Thin and Compact Wallet Alternative)
Even though I’ve recently switched over to the Mojito for my minimalist wallet needs, the Slim Slimmy still has a special place in my heart as the wallet that kept my money safe (in my front pocket) across 4 continents and almost 30 countries. A great option if you’re looking for something uber-simple and want to make the move from cash to plastic (because really, it won’t carry much cash).

(via JOBY GorillaPod Original - The Original Flexible Tripod)
I’ve been traveling full time for 2 years now, and since the beginning of my wandering I’ve kept one of these little gizmos in my day bag.
Until you’ve used a Gorillapod, it’s hard to understand why they would be use useful and versatile, but it really is the best ‘let’s pose together in front of this whatever’ or ‘I want evidence that I saw this thing’ device, as you can adjust it to be level on any type of surface, and even wrap it around polls and such, should that prove necessary.
There are also newer versions that have magnetic feet, or that hold things other than cameras (lights, for example…pretty brilliant idea) that are worth checking out, based on the quality of the original.

Along the same lines as the Cotton Candy, this little ‘Raspberry Pi’ computer will start at $25 and could be sold in a credit card sized form-factor.

Can’t wait to snag one of these when it’s available.
The idea of having a full-fledged computer the size of a thumb-drive, and one that plugs into any screen with the proper ports is fantastic. I’m thinking it would make a perfect backup computer, just in case something goes wrong with the laptop.
