28JAN2024
Breaking News: It's going to be February this week. I literally am still finding food in our pantry that expires in January 2024 and my first thought is that I've got a few months left on it.
Anyway, here are some things that are much fresher than the fancy multigrain herb crackers I just threw out--
- ⚡ Disney Holotile Demo - Lanny Smoot, an amazing inventor and one of Disney’s amazing imagineers, has come up with a pretty incredible technology that will take virtual reality experiences to a whole other level. These holotiles let you walk in-place, in any direction, while still staying in one spot. I want one.
- 👜 Orbitkey 2-in-1 Tech Pouch Kickstarter - Orbitkey is a neat company making all manner of EDC and office items in a clean, minimalist design. They’ve just launched the Kickstarter for a new travel tech pouch / organizer that looks great. I have similar pouches that I love from Peak Design and Evergoods that I love, otherwise I’d be all over this.
- 🚀 The First Sci-Fi Novel Written By a Woman (1666) - I’m embarrassed to say I’d never heard of Margaret Cavendish, but I found her story fascinating. I'm eager to read her book at some point. Hat tip to Kerri Ann on Mastodon for the find!
- 📷 Insta360 Link Webcam - Being a bit of a photo nerd who works from home, I take my camera setup for video calls more seriously than is probably reasonable. After using a dedicated DSLR with a video capture card for years, I switched to the Insta360 Webcam a little over a year ago and haven’t looked back. It offers great video quality, with easy integration on the Mac. It’s on sale now, making it an even easier recommendation. Just make sure you get some good lights, otherwise no camera can save you.
- 🔍 Arc Search - I've been using The Browser Company's Arc Browser for months now and it's quickly become my favorite browser for the Mac. They've just released (tonight) a new iOS app that combines browser, search, and AI together in one app. The premise is you can ask a question and it will search the web for realtime results and then build you a website that answers your question. Interesting concept. I've literally just downloaded it, can't vouch for it yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it out.
That's it for this week, be well everyone!
