You’ll never run out of coffee pods with the Java Smart Container

The WePlenish Java Smart Container is a current Kickstarter campaign.  WePlenish thinks the way of the future is to automate the home’s entire pantry, so goods will track their amounts and automatically order when they run low.  They’re starting with the Java Smart Container, which works with Amazon’s Dash Replenishment system to automatically reorder your favorite coffee pods, espresso capsules, tea, or even snack foods when supplies run low.  The Java Smart is the first and only container paired with Dash.

The container is battery-powered, so you can place it anywhere.  You connect it to WiFi, select the pantry item it will track, and let the WePlenish container do the rest.  You’ll just need to drop the new supplies in the container when they are delivered to your door.  The WePlenish app, available for Android and iOS, shows you a complete list of compatible consumables.

The Java Smart Container is available in black or white.  MSRP will be about $40, but the early bird pledge is $20 for a single Java Smart.  Estimated delivery is September 2018.  The funding period ends Friday, June 29, 2018, at 8:30 AM EDT.  Learn more at Kickstarter.

The Delux Designer may be just the right tool for Designers and Editors!


As long as I have been working as a photographer and filmmaker, I have continuously kept an “eye out” for innovative devices that add function and ease to my workflow, and especially to my editing workflow. Over the years, I have tried many devices all with their own positive and negatives, including some that integrated easily, and some that introduced caveats that were not worth the trouble.

Recently, I have been intrigued by a product that is on Kickstarter, that should be done with funding very soon and ready for production.

The Delux Designer is a one-handed keyboard that is being touted by the creators as the Ultimate Tool for Designers to boost work efficiency. It is compatible with 9 major software applications including Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, CAD, 3D, Autodesk Maya, etc. It is also compatible with Wacom.

If you are as interested in the Delux Designer as I am, head over to the Delux website to remain updated on this product which has been selling (pre-order) on Kickstarter for $59. Shipping is scheduled to begin in July 2018.

Haute couture for your Apple Watch

Forget the incredibly expensive Hermes bands for the Apple Watch.  With this Watch band from the TheWorldofLuxury shop on Etsy, you can have a Louis Vuitton band.  These are not reproduction or counterfeit; the bands are made from leather cut from real LV Sac Plat Bags.  While the seller says the bands are not “licensed Louis Vuitton products”, they are “handcrafted with love and special care from legally purchased Louis Vuitton bags.”

The bands are cut so that the long strap has 2 LV monograms on it, and the short strap has a floral monogram.  The LV leather will be backed with soft, genuine leather.  The bands are compatible with all APPLE Watch Series 1, 2, and 3, and they are available for both the 38mm and the 42mm Watch.  The connectors and buckles are available in black, silver, rose gold, or yellow gold to match your Watch.  Also specify the size of your wrist so your band can be crafted to fit you.

The LV Apple Watch band is $75.00 (25% off normal price) from TheWorldofLuxury shop.

Play a game of golf, baseball, or basketball on the back of your office door

In the mood for a game, but there’s no time for a trip to the links or the gym?  With these dartboards, you can play a game of baseball, basketball, or golf in your own office or game room.  Each of these games is hand-made by Jay Stoltz in his workshop in Roanoke, VA.  He uses cork, birch, adhesive, pinewood to construct them, and he includes hanging hardware with each board.

Naturally, the dart games have modified rules, but the basketball and baseball games are played with two “teams”, just as you’d expect, and you and an opponent can play golf.

Each game comes with 3 darts, game instructions, scorecard template, mounting hardware, and mounting instructions.  Give Dad a golf, basketball, or baseball dartboard game for Father’s Day, and you’ll be set for some friendly competition all year.  Each game is $120.00 at UncommonGoods.
