Make fishing line knot tying a thing of the past with the LineWelder


Going fishing is supposed to be a relaxing activity, but if you have trouble with finger dexterity or your eyesight, the common task of tying your hook or lure to the fishing line can become an exercise in frustration. One solution to this problem is the Tauten LineWelder which allows you to never need to tie a knot again.

The Tauten LineWelder is a small rechargeable device that uses special cartridges that create a super strong and smooth polymer joint that is stronger than a hand-tied knot.

All you do is string your hook or lure on the fishing line, load the lines into the LineWelder device, and press “GO”, wait 30 seconds and you’ll have a smooth, reliable bond.

The Tauten LineWelder is pretty spendy though. At $199 for the device and $13.95 for a box of extra welding cartridges, only gadget loving fisherman will be willing to try this device. If you’re one of them, then head over to tautensports.com for more info and The Grommet if you want to buy one.

Protect your new Surface Pro with WaterField’s Outback Solo 2.0


WaterField Designs has updated their Outback Solo minimalist laptop back for the NEW Surface Pro. The Outback Solo 2.0 features additional storage capacity with a sleeker design.

Made of waxed canvas and full-grain leather, the Outback Solo 2.0 has a rugged look, but it’s been designed to protect the Surface Pro with a shock absorbent neoprene interior.

The full-grain leather flap has a magnetic tab to keep it securely closed without the annoying rrrrrrrrrip of Velcro.

Inside is a dedicated sleeve for the Surface Pro and another pocket large enough to hold other gear like the AC adapter, your smartphone, pens, a notebook, etc.

The Outback Solo 2.0 is priced at $159 and the bag will be available at the end of June with custom sizes for MacBooks coming soon. Visit sfbags.com for more info.

How do you build a better sticky note?


You’ve probably heard the quote from poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said: “Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door”. That quote made me think about everyday objects that I use and how they can be improved. Take Post-it notes for example. I have a pad of them on my desk at work and home and rarely consider how they can be improved until I happened to see these Transparent Sticky Notes from Suck UK.

At first glance, you might think that Suck UK Transparent Sticky Notes are unique because they come in shapes like stars, arrows, lightning bolts, and more. But that’s not what makes them “better” than the regular sticky notes that most of us use.

Transparent Sticky Notes are made of transparent paper. That’s right, you can see through them while still being able to write on them with pen and pencil.

The fact that you can see through them makes them even more useful because you can place them over text in a book that you don’t want to ruin with notes. Just write your note on the sticky and place it over the text which you can still read through the transparent note. Nifty!

Transparent Sticky Notes come in pads of 100 stickies. You can read more about them at Suck UK and can order them for $5.00 – $6.70 from Amazon.
