Cool Tools of Doom n’ Stuff: Week 07.16
With so many cool things coming out each week, it can be hard to wade through all the rock-awesomeness. With ‘Cool Tools’, we’ve done the hard work for you.
This week we saw a smart and modern update to the humble lunchbox, a new way to take 360º degree turntable photographs, an app that promises to DJ your entire party, how to turn your old laptop into a Chromebook and more…
Ready? Let’s go!
This week we look at:
DESIGN
“An intelligently designed, beautifully crafted lunchbox and smart recipe app: Get Prepd and kickstart your healthier lifestyle…”
“A smart turntable to easily create 360º images with a smartphone…”
APPS

“Serato Pyro seamlessly mixes your music and never skips a beat. Get started with music stored on your device or stream from over 30 million songs from your Spotify Premium Account…”

“The Chromebook experience you love. The PC you already have…”

“Connected is a portrait of a woman grappling with aging, self-perception, and transformation in a technologically optimized world. Jackie (Pamela Anderson) is a burnt-out AuraCycle instructor in the midst of a midlife crisis. She’s obsessed with self-improvement podcasts (voiced by Jane Fonda), and she is soon drawn to an advanced yet enigmatic wellness spa that promises to enhance her mind, body and soul. Guided by her effortless and nubile mentor, Luna (Dree Hemingway), Jackie will give up anything to feel “connected” — to herself, to the future, and to a precarious sense of perfection…”
And there you have it!
