Pros:
The freedom gained from not having a dangling cord is unreal. It connects easily to my devices. The volume controls are reliable. The cord that connects the two earbuds is anti-tangle.
Cons:
The sound quality is not so hot. After wearing them for an hour or so my ears begin to hurt a bit ... not the inner ear area, but outer physical part where the bud touches. Battery life is just okay.
Inbox by Gmail is a new app from the Gmail team. Inbox is an organized place to get things done and get back to what matters. Bundles keep emails organized. See the Highlights without opening emails. Plan or procrastinate with Snooze, and get things done with Reminders.
I love productivity hacks and tips. I especially love productivity solutions. Inbox by Gmail is a really interesting way to work through email, allowing you to view every email in a category to help you make sense of its priority, meaning, and readiness to be destroyed. I'm still getting used to it, and I don't think I'll use it full time because I'm so addicted to specific labs-features within Gmail proper, but I applaud the Google team that made this happen.
Mailbox app (owned by Dropbox) doesn't have the visual bells and whistles or auto-categorization benefits of Inbox, but it's by far the greatest triage tool I've ever used. Every morning and swipe left and right, fast and slow, to sort my emails with speed and accuracy. I love it. Great desktop app too.
UE BOOM is the 360º speaker that drops bold, immersive sound in every direction. Rage, riot, party and play the music you love, out loud.
My in-laws bought this for me for my birthday, I believe Laura picked it from my Amazon wishlist.
A rugged and decent sounding speaker, this device connects easily, has large volume controls, playful interactions sound effects and is somewhat water resistant - which makes it a perfect showertime companion. Love that.
Lumo Lift tracks posture in real time and gently vibrates when you need to straighten up! It's fashionable, easy to wear, tracks steps, calories & more.
I bought this because I loved the Lumoback (the company's original product). As it turns out, my upper body posture was not in need of as much support/correction as my lower back. I don't really use it - and currently it's on loan to a friend.
Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design.
I got my hands on this device because my company acquired it for use in a video prototype for one of our innovations. It was a huge step-up from the Galaxy S3 that I briefly loved before it became sluggish and incredibly frustrating. The S5 is much faster and the screen is glorious. The battery is solid and the responsiveness is much improved, which makes typing for less problematic.
I still carry around my iPod Touch because it holds my media, and I like having iOS in my life. But before the S5 I was seriously thinking of going for iOS with an iPhone - now I'm happy sticking with Android.
That is ... until this puppy becomes sluggish and I feel like throwing it aginst a wall.
For some reasons I funded this project aggressively and ordered 8 Tiles. Still haven't used any.
I was so excited when I first saw this - but when they arrived I just couldn't be bothered.
Tiny device. Huge possibilities. Reach into new worlds and control your computer in a whole new way. The Leap Motion Controller tracks both hands and all 10 fingers with incredible speed – so you can play, create, and explore without touching anything.
When I saw thing - it's like a very precise Microsoft Kinect for your hands in a desktop environment - I was blown away and bought two.
It's pretty cool, and works with decent accuracy, but unless you have a clear need, kinda pointless.
After years of snooping Craigslist for a great Taylor guitar at a greta price, I came upon this beauty in the spring of 2013.
It was purchased for a jet demo pilot who worked for Bombardier and lived in a pre-war building in mind-town Manhattan (because he wife worked at Chanel HQ). Super nice guy. He bought it in 2009, but almost never played it. He care for it like a child, keeping it perfectly humidified and in the case for pretty much its entire life.
Original retail from was over $3K (receipt was in the case along with cleaning supplies, string, picks, extra humidification gear), and he sold me this pristine specimen with official Taylor hard case for much less. He just need to get rid of it because it was taking up space and he never played it. A steal.
Funny thing - the same week I found a 1972 Martin D-28 selling for the same price. Great condition, great sound, totally different than the 814ce in just about every way. I wanted to buy both, and had actually talked myself into it after running this crazy notion by Jon and Uncle Mark. But after just a few hours of owning the 814ce (immediately named Rosie after the South Indian Rosewood back and sides), I no longer thought about the Martin.
Rosie is light but her sound is rich. Great highs, impressive lows for a smaller body with a Venician cutaway. The action is mesmerizingly perfect and she retains impeccable tonality all the way up the fretboard - a feature that I've ever owned in a guitar before.
I keep her humidified with special packs of humidity-controlling salene pouches. Makes the process easy. I never have to think about it.
Pencil by FiftyThree is a revolutionary stylus for touch-screen devices. Use Pencil with Paper for iPad to express your ideas beautifully and easily.
I've always admired those who can draw. So, naturally, when I saw a beautiful wood stylus designed for real artists, I had to have it.
"Pencil" is actually a fantastic product. It's comfortable in the hand, it's accurate on the iPad, and the eraser backside it pretty cool.
Pencil is designed to work specifically with "Paper" 53's drawing app. I bought that too, along with all of the special tools (in-app purchases).
My favorite industrial design touch: Pencil magnetically snaps on to the iPad's Smart Case.
Turn your smartphone into a video games console! Phonejoy is Bluetooth gamepad that works with almost any Android, iOS, PC, Mac OS X and Linux device.
This was given to me by a colleague who had no interest in it. My gaming on mobile devices is pretty much limited to chess and Candy Crush so I have no need for this. But I love the concept. I will keep this in the box.
Ever wished there were more hours in the day? Introducing the NeuroOn mask that creates a unique sleep schedule for you.
Like Melon the focus measuring wearable, I have no idea NeuroOn will work. But my love for neuroscience, the mystery of consciousness and my tumultuous relationship with sleep makes this product a must-have for me.
This actually belongs to Laura, gave it to her as a Hannukah present in Dec 2013, but I use it sometimes when I'm at home (typing on it now) and so I thought I'd include it.
Perhaps the greatest coffeeshop laptop of all time. I believe that's what N. Patel said about it a review of the Verge (before he took over as Editor in Chief from Josh T.), and it's true. Battery lasts forever, it's fast to run the essentials and much more, the keyboard is great and it's light as hell.
It's a perfect computer.
Meet Sphero - the app-controlled ball that does it all. Intelligent and well-rounded, Sphero lets you play, learn and explore. Create obstacle courses, upgrade
When I was a kid I loved remote control cars. I would dream about owning a premier machine that had a high top speed and great control. I never once dreamed of having a remote control sphere. But when I heard an interview with Sphero's founder on a podcast, I went to the site purchased this cute little guy.
Sphero is fun. It beeps and chirps and lights up with tons of personality. Control it with your mobile device and race it around. It's very durable, and even works on water.
Thanks to an API, there are many apps to let you play some clever games, although I haven't enjoyed anything more than simply racing it around freestyle.
My niece and nephew loved chasing Sphero around the smooth street of our Florida house. There weren't so great at controlling it, but then again, neither was it.
Sphero also comes with a cool dock - and you know how much I love docks.
I funded this project on Indiegogo - thought it was super cool. Not really used, though.
Very neat the way it installed into a dry-fit cap.
I also have a developer kit that I can install into another hat - but that takes a certain kind of effort that I'm just not going to exert for a technology that I'll rarely use.
Gain insight into how your mind works by tracking your focus during any activity you choose. Understand yourself. Learn differently.
I don't know if this product will work when I receive it. But I love the idea of being able to measure focus.
Chromecast is the easiest way to enjoy online video and music on your TV. Plug it into any HDTV and control it with your existing smartphone, tablet, or laptop. No remotes required. Cast your favorites from Google Play, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and Chrome to your TV with the press of a button.
Super cool dongle that let's you stream from the web right to your TV. It's a different streaming model than Apple's Airplay: App developers build the Cast functionality into their apps, so that when there's a Chromecast on the local network they can stream the content there. Whereas Airplay is at the OS level (or so I think).
I love how I can Cast a tab from my Chrome browser to the TV. It makes it really easy to watch content from streaming sites that still use Flash video players (like when I watch tennis matches or hockey games via sketchy streaming sites).
I also love how the Chromecast is an HDMI dongle, and can be powered by USB straight from the TV itself, as in the photo above. Neat.
Pen Type-A is a minimal pen and ruler sleeve made for Hi-Tec-C ink cartridges. All of its parts are machined out of solid stainless steel and the sleeve is laser etched with ruler markings.
A balance of simplicity, precision and substance, the pen feels smooth between your fingers. There’s no grip to tell your fingers where to go and it’s free of notches or grooves.
We designed and over engineered this pen to last generations.
My friend Taylor wanted to make this incredible pen, so she put it on Kickstarter, hoping to raise $2,500. Well, she ended up raising over $280,000.
It's my favorite pen of all time, and I used it every day.
Perks: the popping sound with you pull the pen out of the sleeve; the fact that the rectangular sleeve prevents it from rolling; it's virtually unbreakable; it's so precise it makes my OCD squeal with happiness.
