LUMINOODLE USB BIAS
LIGHTING / £24.99 inc VAT
SUPPLIER amazon.co.ukThis set of USB-powered lights is designed to sit on the back of your
monitor, providing white light that eases eye-strain from watching in the
dark and improve contrast. The effect is quite striking visually, although
the Luminoodle LEDs lack the versatility of many other similar systems
that offer different-coloured lights.
The LEDs are tiny, mounted on a narrow strip that sticks firmly. Prior
experience with such devices has shown that their worst enemy is
often their own mass, and the unwillingness of the strips to stay stuck
once shaped to fit, so Lumninoodle has got this right.
The lights switch on when plugged in, and there’s no means to
control them beyond this without buying an additional controller. This is
available as an extra remote control with a dimmer switch, although it
should be a part of the pack anyway. The Luminoodle is a neat, though
slightly incomplete, bias lighting setup.Ramen LumiROCKETBOOK SMART NOTEBOOK
/ £32.99 inc VAT
SUPPLIER amazon.co.ukThe Rocketbook Smart notebook is a
reusable lined notebook. You write on the
pages with the supplied Pilot Frixion pen, or
a marker or highlighter, and then you erase
it with the eraser on the end of the pen, or
a damp cloth. The cloth is also supplied but
you’re going to need your own damp.
Writing on the pad feels good. It’s
slimmer than a normal paper pad, which
is fine because it’s reusable, but there’s
enough there to give it a comfy writing
surface. The idea of the reusable pad has
been done elsewhere, and significantly
cheaper, but the Rocketbook’s ace in the
hole is its app, which allows you to take
pictures of your pages of notes on a phoneor tablet and upload them seamlessly
into cloud-based storage. There’s a line
of icons at the bottom– you cross out the
icon you want, then your phone camera
uploads the picture based on that icon to
the corresponding account.
The app is very easy to set up, and you
can choose up to seven different storage
options to correspond to each icon and
connect through the app. For example, if
you log in with a Google account, the notes
are sent to your mail. The Rocketbook is a
great bridge for getting your random notes
and cobweb doodles into cloud storage.Rocket salad (^) Rocket boots
