I like the EverCam because of the extra long battery life, facial recognition, free local storage, no monthly cloud subscription fees, and it can be used indoors or outdoors because it’s weatherproof. You can even put it in your refrigerator (if you can get a wireless signal in there) because it is operational even down to -4F.

What is it?
Revo Journal is a paper journal that you can “attach” video, pictures, audio, web links, and other memories to using a special app and your mobile device.

I like the Revo Journal because it’s a new way to journal using an analog (paper) notebook with digital journalling tools. With the app, you can scan the QR code on each page in the Revo journal and then attach your digital media to make it easier to revisit the day or event at a later date.
