I Need an Undo Eraser that Works On Everything

Jesus Diaz — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:00:00 EDT

Confession: Sometimes I mentally hit Command+Z to undo something I do or say in real life. It doesn't work. Another confession: Sometimes I actually double-click or do multitouch gestures on real world objects. I get slapped. [Unplggd]

Ultraser Whiteboard Eraser For Engineers and TAs

Jason Chen — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:20:01 EST

You haven't spent most of your day drawing, then erasing crap on whiteboards unless you've been a TA or a software engineer. We've been both, so this Ultraser design is the best thing we've seen in the "whiteboard" design department in a while. All it is is a handle that you shove a standard whiteboard eraser under, but the convenient grip and the fact that you can keep your hands free of whiteboard marker dust pays for itself in imaginary design dollars already. We're theoretically buying it right now. [Yanko Design]

Wacom Scraps Graphire for Bamboo

blongo3 — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 14:54:47 EDT

Wacom has replaced its old consumer model, Graphire, with a new two-model line called Bamboo and Bamboo Fun. First off, neither one of the new models can recognize that your pen is tilting, change functions depending on what application you're running, or use other non-Bamboo specific drawing pens.

But they both have added four programmable buttons as well as a large zooming/scrolling circle. The Bamboo is the more professional model of the two. It features a nice clean design, but lacks a larger tablet option, a mouse or even an eraser on the pen. But it's relatively cheap at $69.99. The Bamboo Fun, while looking significantly goofier, does include the pen, a larger tablet option and the mouse. But these extras bump up the price to $99.99 for the smaller tablet and $199.99 for the medium-sized one. Look for them later this month. [Crave]

Chalkboard, Chalk and Eraser Cellphone Strap

The reason why we're so into cellphone straps here is for their ability make otherwise boring cellphones slightly more interesting—or great cellphones a little greater. Case in point? This chalkboard cellphone strap.

It's a miniature chalkboard complete with chalk and eraser so you can doodle or write little notes to yourself while you're out. Need to take down a number? Write it on the chalkboard. Just be careful when you put it into your pants or you'll have a pocketful of chalk and no date for the weekend. Sounds like all four years of high school and parts of college for us. – Jason Chen

Cellphone Strap Cellphone Charger in the Shape of an Eraser

Jason Chen — Wed, 16 May 2007 21:00:02 EDT

Only Japan could have come up with this item: a cellphone strap that's not only shaped like an eraser, but houses two AA batteries and is actually a phone charger.

Unfortunately, the only phones that can be charged with this thing are from FOMA and SoftBank—both only available in Japan—but we're sure somebody can come up with something similar for US phones. Get to work, crazies! – Jason Chen
