Danish designer and fellow geek, Mads Miltersen, decided that the problem of tangled earbud cords was not being solved in a manner to which he was satisfied, so he designed a new way of keeping the cord managed that accommodates the remote switch on Apple’s official earbuds. It’s a very well-thought-out design that keeps the detangler with you at all times and it’s very light weight. All the other cord detangler gizmos I’ve tried have a problem with twisting the cord, extra bits hanging on the ends, and a random issue with the microphone. Miltersen has thought out these issues with a well measured out design that seems to address all the issues we end up having with these infernal knots we try to make phone calls with. The Tango Kickstarter project ends in 3 weeks. Jump on board before your opportunity to get this geek-powered for $6 goes away.

Set yourself Phree!
OTM Technologies has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund production of its innovative input device pen. There have been a lot of variations of virtual pen input devices in recent years, but Phree introduces some new inventions by this team that may change the way you take meeting notes, draw pictures, or interact with your touch screen devices entirely. They have already gotten half a million dollars over and beyond their goal of $100k in initial funding. This puppy is funded and the Phree is pretty stinkin’ cool. The Phree lets you ‘write’ literally ANYWHERE, on virtually any surface, thanks to their custom designed 3D laser. Just three weeks to go before the Phree campaign is over. Check them out on Twitter or Facebook. You might want to join the other 3000+ backers they have on Kickstarter as well. They still have some earlybird offerings left at nice discounts.
