Just when you think the market is over-saturated with hackneyed designs for smart phones, this pops up on Kickstarter.
Designed to pop into the 3.5mm jack of your smartphone, this prop even stores on your keychain loop with ease. Well played Keyprop.

Technology takes computing to new heights with the world’s first gaze interaction computer peripheral for the consumer market.
Tobii REX is a highly anticipated technology that allows users to control the computer by combining eye gaze and other controls; such as select, scroll, zoom and navigate.
It is predicted that in a couple of years this technology will be mainstream; transforming the computing experience by making it more fun, faster and natural.
Examiner.com reports that Nike Golf patents will allow the company to add sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, onto the club itself in order to track the data of each individual swing. The results will then be shown on a screen located on the back of the clubface. Practicality aside, the idea behind the initiative is to provide users with a more accurate way of determining what kind of clubs, in this case, Nike Golf clubs, will be right for them.
“Custom fitting is outdated, and can be inaccurate,” Nike wrote in documents posted on the website of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Text from Nike’s filing: “Golf club heads having sensors configured to measure one or more swing parameters are provided. The golf club head may include several gyroscopes and accelerometers. In one embodiment, the club head contains three gyroscopes that measure angular rate data along different orthogonal axes. At least one gyroscope may an analog gyroscope. Accelerometers may provide data regarding the three orthogonal axes associated with the gyroscopes. The club head may further include software and/or hardware that perform computer-executed methods for determining one or more swing parameters. Exemplary club heads may include a display device for displaying an output of the swing parameter(s). Further aspects of the invention relate to novel methods and algorithms for calculating measurements relating to the swing parameters.”
Seems as though Nike found a way to depress Hackers during and after a round. Living through shanking your three iron into a water hazard was bad enough, now you can re-watch your failures over and over again.
What inventions do you think would help your golf game? Maybe something like this?
This desk and stool set was designed with a contemporary appeal, and is slim enough to be used in a tight space like hallways and dorms.
It is a British design, using solid American Oak.

Sometimes art just seems to flow right off of the canvas, and in this case, it literally does.
Artist Gregory Euclide has carried the work of a fine art painting, and spilled it into a 3D form.
