Ravean’s new Rugged heated jacket is as tough as you are

Ravean already has a puffy heated jacket, but their customers asked for a heated jacket that was rugged enough for work, so they developed the Rugged Off-Road, All Terrain, Any Weather Heated Jacket.  They have a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter seeking only $1000, perhaps as a way to judge interest in the jacket.  Interest is apparently quite high, because they already have $112,088.00 in pledges, with about two weeks left to go. 

The jacket has a water- and wind-resistant shell and a soft, breathable lining.  It has heated chest, back, and thumb-hole cuffs so you can heat just your core, just your hands, or both zones.  Each zone has high/medium/low heat settings, and the controller is part of the logo on the front of the jacket, so it’s always easy to find and use.  The jacket can be powered with a Ravean 10,050mAh curved battery that fits inside the jacket, or it can be powered with most power-tool battery packs (which fit in two external zippered pockets).  The Ravean battery can also be used as a powerbank for your phone.  There are five pockets for storing your gear, and YKK zippers and two waist cinches help keep out drafts.

A pledge of $74 nets you a Ravean battery pack only; $169 gets you one heated Rugged jacket but no battery; $199 gets you a jacket and a Ravean battery.  The Ravean Rugged campaign ends December 14, 2017 at 4:16am EST.  Delivery is expected for September 2018.

Jaswig Nomad standing desk is smart and affordable enough for students

The Jaswig Nomad standing desk is inexpensive enough to be a student desk but flexible enough for any office.  It was actually invented for and by a PhD student to help with her neck and back pains.  It’s made of all natural materials, like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)-certified birch plywood and low-VOC, low-formaldehyde varnish.  It adjusts from 36″ to 48″ tall in 1.5″ increments, and its built-in footrest allows you to shift your weight from leg to leg for even more comfort as you stand.  It can support up to 100 pounds.  Its tabletop reminds me of an old school desk from the mid-20th century, with a storage cubby under the top.  You can choose from the standard desktop size of 20″ X 25.5″ or the large desktop of 21.5″ X 31.5″.  The Jaswig Nomad standing desk starts at $295.00 for the standard desktop.  And there’s even a Jaswig My First Standup for little students, too, for $245.00.

Keep your coffee the perfect temperature from the first sip to the last drop

There aren’t many things worse than pouring a hot cup of coffee (or tea) on a cold winters morning and just minutes later it’s cold.

Well, the Ember Ceramic Mug is here to change all that. The Ember Ceramic Mug keeps your beverages at the perfect temperature from the first sip to the last drop. 

Ember is a connected device that can be used on its own or with the Ember app. The Ember app will notify you once your drink has reached your preferred temperature (all the way up to a toasty 145° F).

You can also use the app to:

– Remotely adjust to your ideal temperature

– Give your Ceramic Mug a LED color

– Choose and save your presets for different drinks

– Switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit

The 10oz. Mug comes with a charging coaster and is available on the Ember website and Starbucks for $79.95. And if you like your beverage on the go, Ember has a Travel Mug for $149.95 that can heat or cool your drink.

MeshCanvas adhesive custom prints hang without nails

MeshCanvas allows you to have your favorite photos custom-printed, but this is nothing new.  What is new is that MeshCanvas photo tiles come with special adhesive hangers that attach to most non-laminating hard surfaces so you can hang them without putting nail holes into the wall.  The adhesive removes easily without damage to the wall, so you can reposition your art at will (up to 10 times).  The format is 8″ X 8″ or 8″ X 12″ tiles that can be hung separately, or you can even butt the tiles together to create a panoramic display.  MeshCanvas photo tiles are $46 for three tiles, with additional tiles at $10 each.  Order by 11/30/17 and enter code thx2u to get 10% off your entire MeshCanvas purchase.

Customize a Vaja luxury case for your iPhone X

The Vaja cases I’ve had the luck to use are luxurious cases made of beautiful leather.  They are usually customizable with your color of choice and often with your choice of leather.  This iPhone X case allows you to choose from floater leather, with mixed tanning method resulting in a strong, grainy leather in a variety of bright colors; or bridge leather, with vegetable tanning method resulting in a delicate, soft-touch leather in earthy tones.  Both choices include a premium leather lining.  The phone is held in a hard, polycarbonate shell that is Qi charging-compatible.  The front cover has four RFID-shielded card slots and an extra compartment for folded currency.  Sterling silver (925) accents along the sides of the case add a beautiful accent;  choose from the simple Argento band, crosshatched Neo design, or the sinuous Barhein design.  Prices start at $289.00, and hand-crafting the case takes 25 days.  The Customizable Silver Wallet iPhone X Leather Case is available at Vaja.
