Kokuyo Harinacs Japanese Stapleless Stapler
Gotta love Japanese engineered products. The Kokuyo Harinacs Stapleless Stapler ($11) binds up to 8 pages together with a bit of magical paper cutting and folding. All of this happens with a single squeeze of the handle. Just like a traditional stapler but without the staples. You also have to love the Japanese translations like […]
VERT Wearable Fitness Monitor Tracks Your Jumps
Fitness tracking is all the rage these days. I get it. It is addictive. At least it is for me. I like comparing my daily activity, from day to day and week to week. But what if you perform a sport where tracking your vertical jump is important? Most fitness monitors don’t track your vertical jumps. […]
Banana Slicer. Really?
I personally thought the banana slicer was a bit ridiculous. I mean it takes a few seconds, with a butter knife, to cut up a banana. Unless you are doing this several hundred times a day I don’t really see the need. I am apparently alone in this way of thinking though as this Hutzler […]

Fraudelent Fish? This Hand-Held Sensor Will Tell You.
Ever wondered if the orange roughy fish you ordered is actually what you were served? You would be right to wonder. According to a study by non-profit group Oceana, about 30 percent of seafood sold in the US is labeled improperly., Florida restaurants in particular are some of the biggest fish fraudsters passing off imported fish […]
BESV E-Bikes Make Getting Around A Bit Less Challenging
There are plenty of “e-bikes” running around these days. Most aren’t more than a traditional bike with a motor, battery, and throttle installed. Think of the latest wildly successful IndieGogo Storm Electric Bike campaign. Time will tell how that controversial bike will play out, but I’m not going into that here. I was lucky enough […]
