Wait, was I drinking from Euler’s Number or from the Golden Ratio?

NEWS – These bar glasses are for the mathematicians and scientists.  The set of four glasses feature mathematical constants and their expanded formulas.  You’ll choose from Pythagoras’s constant (√2), the golden ratio (Φ),  Euler’s Number (e), or pi (π).  The graphics can serve two functions:  1) identify which glass is yours, and 2) let you know you’ve had enough when you can no longer decipher the equation.  😉

Each glass stands 5.5″ tall with a 2.875″ diameter and holds 13 ounces.  They are top-rack dishwasher-safe.  A set of four USA-made glasses is $38.00 and is available only at UncommonGoods.

Travel light and handsfree with the Outpac Daysafe Crossbody

NEWS – If you carry a laptop bag to work, you probably don’t want to carry that huge thing when you go out for lunch or to run some quick errands.  You could use the Outpac Daysafe Tech Crossbody as your wallet and carry it inside your bigger EDC bag.  When you only need a phone, keys, and wallet, just take out the Daysafe and throw it across your body.  Everything you need for a quick trip is at hand, but not in your hand!

It’s called the Daysafe for two reasons.  1) The exterior is made of lightweight polyester with slash-proof construction, slash-proof strap, and lockable zippers to deter pickpockets.

2) Inside, you’ll find six card slots with RFID blocking to prevent RFID skimmers from collecting your personal information.  There are other interior pockets to hold and organize papers and other cards or even a US passport.  The bag also has a pen loop and a phone pocket that can accommodate a phone as large as an iPhone 8 Plus.

The Daysafe fits close, so you can wear it under a jacket.  The bag itself measures 5.12″ x 1″ x 8.5″ and weighs only 0.37 pound.

The Outpac Daysafe Tech Crossbody is available in black, red, or Navy dots for $39.95 each at The Container Store.

Control your Philips Hue lights by simply entering a room

NEWS – Most of the bulbs in my house are Philips Hue bulbs or light strips.  I have a lot of Hue Tap switches scattered around to operate my lights, and they work well, but a couple of them require you to walk down a dark hallway to reach the switch.  I need to add a Hue Motion sensor at each end of the hall to automatically trigger the lights so I’m not wandering around in the dark.

The Motion sensor is battery-powered, so it can be installed anywhere.  You can set it on a table or shelf, mount it to the wall or ceiling with a screw, or attach it to an appliance or other metal surface with the included magnet.  Once mounted, you can adjust its viewing angle.  When it detects motion, the sensor can trigger your selected Hue scene or light setting to turn the lights on.  Lights will go off after it no longer senses motion.  The sensor also has a daylight detector, so it can adjust the light for a dim nightlight when the room is dark or for bright white light during the daytime.  Of course, the Hue Motion sensor requires a connection to the Hue bridge to operate your Hue lights.

The Hue Motion sensor is $39.99 at the Philips Hue website.
