Melbourne Designs presents FOFA, a gadget for people who lose any and everything. Can’t find your keys? Your wallet? Shoes? Cell phone? That brain you stashed in the mason jar? FOFA can detect up to 36 easily-lost items, and as long as you are within 30 feet of those vanishing items and you will quickly locate what’s lost. There’s just one drawback; you have to remember the number assigned to your shoes, pants, contact lenses, etc. and you have to attach a little reciever to your vanishing items, so using them on your contact lenses won’t ACTUALLY work. It’s an ingenious idea though, a universal remote finder for anything you can attach the reciever to? We’re velcro-ing ours to the remote control.

How do you like this cute little guy? It’s the Meraki Wi-Fi mini repeater, designed to extend the range of your Wi-Fi coverage by about 100 feet indoors, and as far away as 700 feet outside. This means plenty of great lawnchair net browsing when the weather gets nice again, but it’s also a great way to share your Internet with your neighbors, family members, that homeless guy hanging out under the street light, anybody at all. If running a non-secured Wi-Fi network is your bag, that is. This thing has plenty of great uses around a large home or as a way to get Wi-Fi into a basement or man room otherwise hard to get a decent signal in. Meraki announced a solar powered version of this earlier in the year but so far it’s not for sale on the web site.
