The Best of Last Week: Sentio Digital Tactile Watch

Monday, June 2, 2008 8:00AM - By Mike Payne

Last week was a week of watches at GearCrave.  We featured a very popular giveaway with Obaku Harmony watches, which received quite a lot of love from GearCravers.  In other watch news, we found the Sentio Digital Tactile watch, a beautiful, rugged metal watch designed to be invisible to its target wearer: the blind.  This watch for the blind displays the time by using raised metal pieces which show the time like a classic digital, but to be felt– not seen.  This received quite a bit of attention on the web, and GearCravers loved this one.  Did you miss anything else on GearCrave?  Continue reading for our weekly bullet point ritual.

GearCrave was busy last week. We ran our first feature week, covering the growing green condo trend in the US. We ran a GearCrave giveaway for the new Indiana Jones movie, giving away three Indiana Jones box sets. On top of all that, we brought the every-day product shots GearCravers love.

Monday, May 19, 2008 8:00AM - By Mike Payne

Last week, GearCrave posted an article on a revolutionary new web service called Evernote. Evernote is a visual memory service designed to help you remember everything you see: be it on the web, in a book, on a wine label or written with lipstick on a napkin. Snap a photo of something you have written down that you want to remember, Evernote will store it, automatically recognize the text and index it in your personal memory library. If you’re the forgetful type, or you adore new web organizational services, check out our full write-up on the Evernote technology– and sign up to receive a free private beta invite from GearCrave.

Best of Last Week: GearCrave’s Girl of the Week Poll

Monday, May 12, 2008 7:00AM - By Mike Payne

Last week, GearCrave asked you, dear reader, what you think about us adding a weekly feature called “Girl of the Week“. 119 of you answered– 85% of you thought it was a great idea, while 13% of you were a little cautious. These results have helped us decide that we will be featuring a GearCrave Girl of the Week beginning later this month. To the 13% who didn’t like the idea, we assure you GearCrave will never be a Maxim magazine or feature purely T&A. Our goal is to find and feature women with as much brains as beauty, and to feature them as personalities– not just pretty faces. High caliber women are an important part of the fine lifestyle for men, so we thought we’d do our part in sharing some of these with you, once per week. Continue reading after the break for the list of our other favorite and noteworthy posts from last week.
