OK, let’s get this straight, there are barcode scanners and then there are barcode scanners, know what we mean? For the longest time QR codes and the like have been hovering on the outskirts of mass adoption, but now we reckon they’re just about to become mainstream, and the reason is the tools are getting really good.

The LetterForms Dry Erase Notebook is yet another of those, ‘why did it take so long‘ inventions which make so much sense when you really think about it.

But why should we not be able to reuse old notebooks over and over? Much more eco friendly. Trees will dance.

The one thing we don’t enjoy on a bicycle is bad weather. Cold wind, rain, snow, all that nasty stuff that car drivers can avoid.

So way back in the earlier 2000’s, Kanye West wore those window blind glasses and we all danced like mad men to “Stronger”. It’s ok, you can admit it. Anyway, those shades were the worst. Dropshades look exactly the same, but the addition of lights have made them awesome. That’s progress for you, huh?

Way back in January of last year we reported on a brand new tool which allowed you to connect your PC web browser and Android smartphone together easily, so you could send files and notes between the two. At the time we said “all in all this is one of those apps which creeps up on you…” Boy were we right. The developer has been very busy over the past 19 months, and has turned a nice utility into a…

If there’s one thing that demonstrates how far and how fast entertainment has moved since the early days of primetime, we really need look no further than the Amazon Pilot Season. Now in it’s third year, this unlikely collaboration between a bookseller, the Internet and faux television, presents the kind of audience participation that Nielsen ratings can only dream about. The idea is for us to view the pilots, and vote on which ones we want to see made into…
