Hasta La Gadget!

Life’s too short to spend it thinking about the stuff you did or didn’t do in the past (or last night), because regretting won’t change anything. What you can do, on the other hand, is learn from your mistakes so you can live a fuller life in the future.

One way to do that is by keeping a diary. But if that sounds tedious, then maybe LifeLog might just be the thing for you.

It’s basically an app that centralizes most apps you use on a daily basis, to keep a log of your life and help you do the things you need to do, when you need to: photos, videos, contacts, calendar,  entries, notes, and Facebook and Twitter integration.

The app promises to help you keep “more complete memories” and provide “stronger memory tools” while you go about your daily life.

It sounds like a pretty interesting concept, not to mention useful. You can head on over to their Kickstarter page to find out more about the app or back the project. A minimum pledge of $5 will get you one-month of exclusive beta access to the iOS app.

It’s early morning. You’re running around, grabbing your stuff and throwing everything in your bag, and just as you’re about to leave, you double back inside to grab your iPhone from the kitchen table – only it’s not there. So you waste another ten minutes or so trying to find your phone before finally rushing out of your apartment. Sound familiar?

Well, here’s one solution for you: the MagSkin magnetic skin for your iPhone. It’s a thin decorative skin that “magnetizes” your iPhone so you can just stick it on your fridge when you’re not using it. That way, it’s always going to be there for you to just grab when you need to go.

The MagSkin is actually a Kickstarter project by Daniel Weyer in a bid to de-clutter his counter from all the wires and devices he and his wife had. If you have a couple of smartphones and music players, then the MagSkin can probably work on them, too, so you can stick everything onto your refrigerator.

The fact that they’re available in a wide range of colors, some shade shifting and thermo-sensitive, doesn’t hurt on the stylish end either.

A minimum pledge of $12(USD) will get you one of your very own MagSkins over on Kickstarter. Aside from that, you’ll also be getting two MagDocks, which are magnetic backings that will convert any surface into a docking area for the MagSkin-wearing device.

These new glasses are supposed to amplify the wearer’s ability to interpret the emotions and health of other people, by emphasizing the differences in color as well as brightness of their skin tone. The O2amp glasses were developed by 2AI Labs and I’d like to try them out to see how accurately they work.

The tinted glasses are supposed to have numerous medical applications as well. By reducing parts of the visible light spectrum, they highlight skin oxygenation and hemoglobin concentration. These could even help medical professionals locate veins, detect trauma or cyanosis.

These kinds of tinted shades could also be used in sports, security and poker. However, I’m sure they’ll get banned soon enough if anyone uses them in sports or poker to read the emotional state of other players.

The O2Amp glasses are currently being tested at a couple of regional hospitals for their effectiveness.
