With the Nebula Capsule Smart Mini Projector, you can always take the show on the road


I must admit that as a self-confessed gadget nerd and techie, I am always looking for some sort of device to add a new level of technology, and sometimes a balance of ease versus complexity to my work processes, and to just about any and everything I do.

Today I was reading about a nice little but powerful gadget called the Nebula Capsule Smart Mini Projector. This is a soda can type design mini projector that is made by Anker, and it is touted as being a portable high-contrast pocket cinema device with built-in WiFi, and a 360 degree omnidirectional speaker. It is capable of projecting an image up to 100 inches, and its battery will last for up to 4 hours. Its operating system is Android 7.1, and there is an app that can be used to control all of its functions. The specifications state that the “DLP’s advanced IntelliBright algorithms deliver a remarkably bright (100 ANSI lumens), vivid picture”. It is very portable weighing in at only 15 ounces, and yet it still provides seamless connectivity utilizing its built-in HDMI port, or USB port, or via screen mirroring.

You can purchase the Nebula Capsule Smart Mini Projector by Anker on Amazon for $349.

The Lumos smart bike helmet has built-in turn signals

Sure, you can signal your intention to make a turn with hand signals while riding a bike, but those hand signals might not be so visible at night.  I’ve seen gloves with lighted turn signals on them, but not everyone wears gloves when they bike.  Everyone wears helmets, though, and Lumos has added LED lights and signals to their helmet that are bright enough for day or night use.  And they even include a remote control to activate the lights to signal your turns.

The white LEDs on the front and the red triangle on the back light up to make you more visible to others in front of and behind you.  Yellow turn arrows on the back blink to show your intended turn, and half the front lights blink to show the direction of your turn, too.  And the accelerometer knows when you’re slowing down and can signal that with the helmet, as well.

Attach the remote control to your handlebars so you can trigger the Lumos helmet to signal a turn.  The remote is weatherproof and detachable to prevent theft while the bike is parked.  One is included with the Lumos.

The Lumos helmet also connects to the Apple Watch.  When you manually signal with the arm wearing the watch, your movements trigger the Watch to turn on the appropriate signal on the Lumos.  It also syncs with the Strava app and Apple’s Activity app.

The Lumos helmet is available in adult size (54 – 62cm / 21.3 – 24.4in) in pearl white, cobalt blue, or charcoal black for $179.99 at the Lumos website.  You can also get the helmet in all three colors at the same price at Amazon with free Prime shipping.

The WaterField Designs Pro Executive Laptop Backpack is classy enough for a CEO

You know about crowdfunded products, but the Pro Executive Laptop Backpack from WaterField Designs is a crowdsourced product. 2000 WaterField Design customers participated in the design process to help create this bag and it looks like they did a great job. First of all, it doesn’t sag on your back when you’re wearing it and it keeps its shape even when it’s empty. It also stands up straight and won’t fall over when you place it on the floor or a desk.

Made of black ballistic nylon with a full-grain leather panel and handle, the Pro Executive Laptop Backpack comes in 4 distressed leather colors that will only get better looking with use and age.

The backpack features 4 quick access pockets, a large padded laptop pocket that’s large enough to hold a 15-inch MacBook Pro, shoulder straps that can pack away to make it a nice carry-on bag, a built-in wheeled suitcase handle slot, and more.

The Pro Executive Backpack is priced at $349 and is available now from WaterField Designs at sfbags.com

The BeardMat lets you say goodbye to those nasty hair trimmings

If you’re a guy sporting a beard (like myself) one problem you face is what to do with those nasty hair trimmings after you groom it. Despite your best efforts they usually end up all over the countertop and in the sink. Clean up is time-consuming and more hair ends up down the drain than you’d like. And over time that can lead to clogged pipes. Yikes! 

BeardMat has come up with a simple solution that will keep your countertops clean and your pipes clog-free. The BeardMat is a three-foot square non-stick fabric that attaches to your mirror and covers the sink and countertop while you’re grooming.

Simply attach the BeardMat to your mirror (or any other smooth non-porous dry surface) using two suction cups, then drape it over your countertop and sink. Now you’re ready to trim your beard or hair.

The BeardMat’s slick polyester material allows hair to slide off easily, making clean-up a breeze. 

No fuss no muss.

The BeardMat sells for $14.99 and is available at thegrommet.com.
