Add Tunes to the Picnic

We take tunes everywhere these days. Tunes wake us up and we get tunes in the shower, tunes on the bus or in the car, tunes at the desk, and tunes at the gym. Technology enables us to take our favorite music wherever we choose. And that applies to more than music. Include podcasts, streaming radio, live sporting events and other audio too. This of course means we need to become more creative with those places where sound was formerly not found.

Taking a hike in nature used to be a peaceful thing but does not have to be anymore. Likewise, stopping off to have a picnic now does not require silence or a huge boom box. Get a Speaker Blanket, £34.99 at spinninghat.com. Find your favorite grassy spot and unfurl the blanket. The center of one end contains two speakers a pocket for your music device and a 3.5mm headphone jack. After putting in two AA batteries just plug your device in, sit back and enjoy. No need to bring a separate speaker unit. When done, simply fold up the blanket under the vinyl speaker/pocket section. Technically, spinninghat.com is out of stock but they will email you when available. Hopefully in time for your first picnic of the year.

Kegzie Beverage Cooler

Being prepared is a quality that everyone should have, especially when you consider how one can never tell just when Murphy would strike and things start to go wrong. On a sweltering summer day, you know that there is nothing quite like a refreshing, ice cold Coke from your fridge, but the thing is, unless you pour it out to a glass with ice cubes in it, it is not going to remain cold for too long. Holding a cold can in your hand might not be such a good idea too, as the freezing low temperature and condensation on the outside creates quite a mess, so this is where the $9.99 Kegzie Beverage Cooler comes in handy.

It is a beverage holder that basically resembles a miniaturized keg, where it can hold any kind of standard sized can of beverage, be they alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. Made out of comfortable, foamy material that does its bit to keep the coldness in, cleaning it is a snap as all you need to do is hand wash it with a damp cloth and some mild detergent.

IRIScan Mouse certainly brings the best of both worlds together

With a company name like I.R.I.S., you can be sure that it has something to do with optics – in fact, a whole lot of it, where they have been noted to be a leading innovator in optical character recognition (OCR) software. Well, software is not all that they have under their umbrella either, as their latest device to roll off their production lines would be the IRIScan Mouse, and judging by the name itself, this functions as an all-in-one mouse scanner with OCR technology which enables it to convert text from scans into editable documents in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc.).

As explained by Jean-Marc Fontaine, Director of Sales and Operations, Americas at I.R.I.S., "IRIScan Mouse users can turn any printed documents into editable, digitized scans with a click of the mouse. The IRIScan Mouse is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a simple way to scan anything into their computer. In just a few mouse swipes, a signed contract, excerpts from a book, pictures, receipts and more are instantly recreated on your computer screen without ever removing your hand from the Mouse. The IRIScan Mouse is an incredible time saving tool."

You would most probably adapt to the IRIScan Mouse in no time at all, considering how in all aspects, it works like a traditional computer mouse. The thing is, it has a built-in scanner, allowing it to scan any type of document in 400 DPI with but a single swipe of the mouse, making scanning a snap. All you need to do is click on the scan button, swipe the mouse in the direction of your choice over a document or a photo, and the corresponding text and images will appear instantaneously on the computer screen. The software is smart enough to stitch the entire image together, and you can also have the software's OCR technology recognize text within the scanned image which in turn can be dragged and dropped into Microsoft Office (Word, Excel®, Outlook®, etc.) for editing purposes.

Any takers for the $79 IRIScan Mouse?
