Keep Losing Everything? Not anymore! -Lapa 2

If you're like me you constantly have problems with losing or forgetting things. Even if you're not like me, and you are super organized and remember everything the hustle of life can sometimes cause things to escape your person. Lapa realized this and created Lapa, but now they're back with Lapa 2.



Lapa 2 is a small device you can attach to anything via a key ring, and it enables you to find those devices through a smartphone application. Each Lapa is equipped with an led and sound (up to 90 decibels), and two way communication with your phone. Lapa not only allows your phone to find the attached item, but you can press the Lapa button to find your phone.

Wait--it gets better--the Lapa app allows you to customize how each Lapa device works, so you can use it to alert you if you're too far away from a certain item. Also, you can recruit other Lapa users to locate your items or pets if something happens to them. So no matter what happens to your things--Lapa will help you stay connected to them!

Rocketbook Wave! -I can stop buying more notebooks!

Alright, so I write sloppy, and I don't really need to access many of my notes very often. However, when that off chance day comes where I need to find some notes I wrote down... I take 30 minutes or more sifting through stacks of notebooks trying to find my notes. However, Rocketbook Wave is fixing that in an easy to use format. They do a really good job explaining the product in their video...

For those who didn't watch the video... Rocketbook is a notebook that allows you to use Pilot Frixion pens on it. Each page has a black border and several symbols that you use to categorize the note. Once you're done writing your note and you categorize it, the Rocketbook app snaps a picture of the notebook page, enhances the notes using the black border, and sends it to the right location via the category symbols. Once you've used up your notebook, you simply throw it in the microwave and the Pilot Frixion ink will turn clear and the notepad is ready to reuse.

CROWD FUNDING LINK: Rocketbook Wave: Cloud-Ready Microwavable Notebook

PROS:

• No need to buy multiple notebooks and wonder where they ran off to
• Reusable
• Helps you organize your notes and back them up

CONS;

• Only reusable for about 10-20 times (10 for me since I write hard)
• Pricey $35, but that's only $1.25-$3.50 for a 100 page notebook.
• Need to snap and upload pages soon because of ink properties

Would I buy it?

Yes, but I'm not going to back them. I really like the organization aspect of the product because I'm fairly disorganized.

FlyBi-the drone giving you a bird's eye view of the world!

FlyBi is an expensive toy for those looking for another hobby, someone wanting to get into aerial photography,  or those who like spying on the neighborhood (the latter is not advise). The FlyBi is unique to other quadcopters because it's 1080p camera is linked to  virtual goggles that you wear. The idea being, you setup a flight path that the drone will follow at a set altitude, launch the drone, put on the goggles, and enjoy the flying experience. 

You might think that this would be the equivalent of watching a video from the quadcopter after the flight. However, the team behind FlyBi thought the same thing. So they decided to equip a head-tracker to the goggles and 55 degrees of rotation to the camera on the quadcopter. This enables you to direct the camera to whatever you're interested in.

The developers of FlyBi equipped the quadcopter with sensors to avoid obstacles, powerful motors to withstand wind, sealed electrical components to make it splash resistance, tough and flexible plastic for the occasional crashes, and a convenient carrying case for fast setup and pack up. There's a lot more to FlyBi so make sure to checkout the link below.
