BigMouth Inc’s Giant Shnoodle pool float has a name that sounds like a mix of a schnauzer and a poodle, but I think that’s just so they can avoid Sharpie’s lawyers from sending them a nasty letter. You’re not going to be able to lounge on this thing in the same way you might float on an inflatable slice of pizza, but you’ll definitely have fun bonking your little brother on the head with it when he wanders onto your side of the pool.
You can grab one over on Amazon for just $9.99(USD).

The pen is mightier than the sword… especially when it’s made of titanium! We’ve seen a massive influx of pen designs on Kickstarter, each competing aggressively with another, and it’s our responsibility to handpick the finest designs there are in this category, because with writing instruments, one only deserves the best.
The X-01 pen by Namisu is so focused on being a powerful writing tool, it channels minimalism in a way most luxury pens don’t. The Pen comes in a single material design, with grooves for gripping only where they are necessary. The pen is even devoid of branding because a remarkable writing experience is their brand. The casing of the pen is immaculately machined from a single metal block and you can choose from brass, aluminum (in comet grey and satin black), or satisfy the immortal penman in you by going for the Titanium X-01. Looking nothing short of a futuristic bullet casing, the X-01 comes built for Schmidt’s short rollerball refills (available widely in broad, medium and fine thicknesses).
The X-01 come in absolutely dapper looking jet black boxes (perfect for gifting, I say), and for a little more, you can even get your hands on the leather sleeve cases for the pen. The pens come in different weights, based on the metal. The lighter Aluminum makes for great lengthy writing sessions, while the heavy brass is perfect for signatures. The titanium however gives you the versatility of articulating thoughts, taking long notes, and the occasional signature or autograph.
Let’s remember… the keyboard may be the most popular writing tool today but significant moments are always immortalized in pen…

Most of us use a tape measure or ruler to measure things. It’s been that way for over a hundred years. Well, now a company called InstruMMents have unveiled a new dimensioning device that can replace the antiquated tape. It is called the 01. It is essentially a pen shaped device that connects wirelessly to a smartphone app, where the dimensions of whatever you are measuring are displayed.
The 01 uses a multi-sensor system and you only need one hand to make it work. Use it for anything you would use a tape measure for. They claim that it is the only device in the world that can easily be used to measure 3D surfaces and it can capture linear or contoured lengths too.
Simply roll the pen along the surface of the object you want to measure. This lets you measure oddly shaped items with ease, though it could be challenging for larger surfaces.
It can convert measurements on the fly between metric and imperial too, which is very handy. The battery will last up to six months.
This may be the replacement for the tape measure that we have been waiting for. If you’re interested in the 01, you can pre-order one over on Indiegogo for $149(USD) combined with a pen, pencil, or stylus. As is the case with all crowdfunding technology projects, you might want to wait until they’re in production to be sure they live up to their claims, especially given their ambitious December 2016 delivery date.

Despite all the technological advances over the years, measuring items in your home still tends to involve old-school rulers and tape measures... and they can be inaccurate if there are curves. Instrumments thinks it has a better way. The team of for...
If you like writing with fancy pens, MB&F and Switzerland-based pen maker Caran d’Ache have created a beautiful pen in the shape of a rocket ship. It is called the Astrograph and it was four years in the making. It may just be the coolest pen ever.
The cap has retractable landing gear and a tiny ladder for a miniature, magnetic astronaut figure, and the packaging doubles as a launch pad display stand.
The pen features an ink pump but can also work with cartridges. Its nib is made from rhodium-plated 18K gold, and its body can be had in rhodium-plate or ruthenium-anthracite plate. Both can be done in either matte or polished finishes.
Each version is limited to 99 pieces. Sadly, the price is astronomical at roughly $20,000 per pen. This is one pen that you don’t want to lose.
