Baron Fig teams up with Codecademy to release new Computerworld notebooks

What kind of notebook person are you? Are you the type of person that goes with a plain black hardbound journal or a plain 3 x 5 inch pocket notebook with zero personality? If that’s you, then you won’t be all that interested in this news post about Baron Fig’s latest 5.4 x 7.7 inch Vanguard softcover notebooks called Computerworld that feature fun artwork on the covers by Brooklyn-based artist Aaron Fernandez.

The Computerworld notebooks come in a set of 3, each with its own cover that include Hardware Fields, Data Valley, and Software Skies. The notebook covers are soft but designed to survive every day abuse. Inside are acid-free pages that have numbered and bulleted lines to reflect that they have been designed in collaboration with Codecademy, the largest platform teaching people how to code online.

Perfect for list makers, programmers or anyone for that matter, the Computerworld notebooks from Baron Fig are available now in a 3 pack for $15. Head over to baronfig.com to order a pack.

The New Bellroy Laptop Brief is ideal for streamlined professionals

I absolutely love what Bellroy is doing with their new lineup of bags. The Bellroy Duo Totepack that I reviewed last year is still one of my favorite bags of all time. The new laptop brief follows the same innovative design language and top-notch construction, in a slimmed-down business brief form made for your laptop and essentials.

Available in 2 sizes (for 13″ or 15″ laptops), the Laptop Brief features Bellroy’s proprietary water-resistant materials, a thoughtful combination of internal/external pocketing designed to manage all your tech and accessories, and a clamshell-style full opening to get into the depths of the bag. The contemporary look and minimalist style will pair well with any work ensemble in a lightweight package. It also includes a shoulder strap and pass-through handle to ride on your wheelie luggage in airports.

Bellroy retails the Laptop Brief for $159 (for 13 inch laptops, 8 L capacity) or $169 (for 15 inch laptops, 10 L capacity). Three colors are available. Based on my experience with the Tote Pack, I expect this one to be another winner. Check it out at the Bellroy web site.

The LENSKIRT Flexible Lens Hood makes shooting through glass easier

For those of us photographers and videographers who enjoy shooting cityscapes, or aquariums, or other types of photography that may require us to shoot through glass, the challenge of light reflections is a real one. If this challenge is not managed correctly, the “stray” light will definitely show up in your photo, and may not always be easily removed via editing.

The LENSKIRT Flexible Lens Hood blocks out unwanted environmental light reflections when shooting through glass. It is an affordable solution used by many professional photographers for shooting photos, videos, and even for shooting in time-lapse mode. It allows for wide lenses up to 15mm, and for lens up to 8 inches in diameter. The front of the Lenskirt has a 9 x 10-inch opening that has suction cups built-in to adhere it to the glass. It has a drawstring that allows you to easily secure it around almost any lens.

The simple but effective LENSKIRT Flexible Lens Hood can be purchased at B&H Photo Video for $48.

Pop your gear into Tom Bihn’s Pop Tote

People had been requesting a zip-top tote from Tom Bihn for years, but it wasn’t until 2017 that Tom designed a bag that he felt was substantially better than other zip totes out there.  At first, you could only have a Pop Tote if you were one of the lucky folks who received a gift bag at the 2017 Kennedy Center Mark Twain Awards for Humor honoring David Letterman, but now you can order your own bag directly from Tom Bihn.

The Pop Tote, at 12.8” (w) x 11.8” (h) x 8.7″ (d), is big enough to carry your EDC kit, a small laptop or tablet, or you could even use it as a shopping bag to tote home groceries or books.  The bag is made of:

  • 525 denier 2×2 ballistic nylon for the exterior
  • PORON foam handles
  • #8 YKK zippers
  • Tough Duraflex®, Nexus, and Woojin buckles and related components

The top closes with a zipper and/or snaps.  With just the snaps closed and the zipper open (as above), you can use the Pop Tote as an open-top tote that works great as a shopping bag.  Leave the snaps open and close the zipper, and you’ve got a secure bag that protects your daily gear or your electronics.  And if you close both the zipper and the snaps, it will change the shape of the top of the bag into a pleasing rounded shape like in the top photo.  You could even carry a sweater or jacket in the curved top of the bag in this mode.

The exterior has a couple of slip-in pockets and a couple of zippered pockets on the exterior sides.  The inside is open, but both the interior and the exterior pockets have a variety of O-rings so you can clip your items into the bag.

The Pop Tote is available in deep blue (shown), olive, Mars red, cloud, black, and alphaviolet for $95.00 at Tom Bihn.

Master & Dynamic pad the MW50 wireless headphone and charge less for it

In a review of the Master & Dynamic MW50 (and MW60) wireless headphones, I stated that surprisingly, I slightly preferred the sound and comfort of the “on-ear” MW50s over the more expensive “over-ear” MW60s. However, some people simply prefer over-ear pads on their headphones. Well, what if you could have your cake and eat it too? Now you can, because M&D have introduced the MW50+ Wireless On-Ear + Over-Ear Headphones.

The MW50+ headphones are identical to the MW50 headphones, but now come with both styles of ear pads. In fact, the MW50+ headphones have replaced the regular MW50 model, which is no longer available. Yet, even with the added ear pads, M&D has dropped the price by fifty bucks!

M&D states that “Users of existing MW50s, as well as those opting to buy now, will have the flexibility to change the ear pads out as they please, allowing them to best fit a variety of settings.” Note that if you already own a pair of MW50 headphones, M&D will offer the over-ear pads separately after mid-June—price TBD.

“Now, for the first time, the decision is not about on-ear versus over-ear, but simply which color.” said Master & Dynamic’s Founder and CEO Jonathan Levine. The MW50+ come in three color choices: Silver/Brown, Silver/Black and Black/Black.

The MW50+ Wireless On-Ear + Over-Ear Headphones will sell for $399 and are available for pre-order with shipping in mid-June. Visit Master & Dynamic for more information.
