Each week I take a quick look at several crowdfunding campaigns that I think look interesting.

Single-serve coffee systems such as Keurig and Nespresso have become so popular nowadays that it was perhaps only a matter of time until a similar pod-based concept was applied to other foods.

If I kept better track of my emails, I would guess that I receive 20-50 emails a week from people wanting me to promote their Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects. You might think I’m mean, but I delete the vast majority of these emails because I don’t have time to write a whole post about each
I travel outside the USA for work several times per year and one thing I am a bit paranoid about is carrying my passport with me everywhere I go. I even take it to the hotel gym with me. However, I also always carry my iPhone with me and often I want my wallet as

The Trimr All-In Tote (a new Kickstarter project) is a seriously stylish gym bag! And tough too!

My mother complained that when she was a child a hundred years ago (literally), her parents brought totally crisped toast from the kitchen with a pat of frozen butter sitting in the middle.

Lunchtime at work can be a tricky proposition. You rarely have the luxury of many options, and as menus rotate, lunch becomes a daily hit-or-miss ordeal.
