2 new styles of backpack goodness from Bellroy!

NEWS – I love what Bellroy is doing with their innovative carry products; the Duo Tote Pack made my list of favorite products in 2017 (see the review here). Now they’ve added two 22-liter daypacks to their collection that give you a *bit* more room for your stuff.

The Shift (top left, $229) is a commuter pack for biking and walking. It features a water-resistant design and a flap-over style closure that can expand for larger loads when you need it like a messenger bag.  The Classic Backpack Plus (top right, $179) features a traditional U-shaped clam shell design with a bevvy of pockets and pouches to organize your laptop and work gear. Both feature the contemporary styling, the innovative design elements, and the unique material combinations that give Bellroy products their distinctive edge. They are also available in multiple colors.

Check ’em out at Bellroy’s web site!

The Gel Blade is a flexible new take on the traditional squeegee

It may just look like a big piece of silicone, but the One Pass Gel Blade will help with cleanup jobs from the driveway to the kitchen. This flexible silicone squeegee is perfect for cleaning water off your car, cleaning your shower door, or even whisking away messy kitchen spills.

The Gel Blade uses a patented Y-bar edge design that easily removes over 90% of standing fluids. It’s very flexible, making it perfect for working around edges and the ergonomic handle makes it easy to hold onto.

Because It’s made of medical-grade silicone, you won’t have to worry about mold or bacteria. To clean it just toss it in the dishwasher.

The Gel Blade is so versatile it can even be used to remove pet hair from upholstery. And because it won’t scratch it’s safe to use on any surface or paint

The One Pass Gel Blade comes in two sizes. The 9” size ($14.95) is great for kitchen spills and for smaller surfaces and the 12” size ($21.95) for larger jobs like drying cars and large windows.

The One Pass Gel blade is available on The Grommet.

Protect your student’s laptop with the iPearl cover from mCover

NEWS – Starting in junior year of high school, Rachel was encouraged to bring a laptop to school.  We’re an Apple family, and I didn’t want her (at the time) 11″ MacBook Air getting scratched up when thrown into her backpack with books, pencils, and who know what else.  I found a great snap-on hard cover from iPearl for that little Air, and she’s had one on each of her laptops since then.  Don’t worry if you don’t have a MacBook, because mCover has covers for many different laptops.

The iPearl mCover Hard Shell Cases are made of shatterproof, USA-made, high-quality DOW polycarbonate material.  The case consists of separate top and bottom covers that snap on and stay securely on the laptop.  (You’ll need to follow the directions for ease of installation and removal of the case.)  iPearl cases are available in a variety of translucent colors and in clear.  Rachel has always chosen the clear ones.

Her favorite feature is the pair of fold-down feet on the back of the bottom case.  The little bit of tilt when the feet are down makes the laptop more comfortable for her to see and use.  After a year or so of use, one of the feet broke off the Air case, and she immediately asked me to order her a new case.  Rachel is someone who doesn’t usually like cases on her electronics, so her request is a testament to how much she likes the iPearl case.  That little Air has long since been replaced, and she’s had an iPearl on both of the 13″ MBPs she’s had since then.

You can find the iPearl mCover Hard Shell Cases to fit a variety of MacBooks, Windows laptops, Chromebooks, and for the Microsoft Surface laptop at Amazon.  Prices vary from $12 – $25.

Updated type experience coming to Adobe InDesign CC and Illustrator CC

NEWS – Anyone who has used the latest Adobe Creative Cloud versions of InDesign or Illustrator has probably noticed that font selection is a little unwieldy. I use InDesign every day and whenever I’m looking for a specific sort of typeface to use, like a nice handwritten font, I find myself squinting at the tiny font sample next to the name. But fear not, Adobe has heard your cries!

In the upcoming version of InDesign and Illustrator, a vastly improved type menu will allow for customized sample display text and integrated access to the 9,000 TypeKit fonts that are included with a Creative Cloud subscription. You will be able to browse this font library in the app and quickly preview your chosen text in any font of your choice.

Check out the video on Adobe’s blog for a closer look. I’m very much looking forward to this small but potent improvement!
