 essentials and tools as you move around hands-free. It’s very relevant in healthcare, construction, retail, aviation, and education systems, among others.
He’s now debuting the Hands-Free iPad, which essentially follows the same idea as his Hands-Free Carry, only this time it’s to allow quick access to your iPad. The carry-on can even be snapped directly to your belt loop.
Andrew’s Hands-Free products may emphasized the physical side of wearable tech. The digital part of wearable tech is very apparent in products like Zackees, Shine, or Protos. However, Andrew brought out the other side of the wearable tech coin: we need to be able to access and use our devices fast. If we need to access our device in more than 2 seconds, our use of that specific device is reduced exponentially. In the near future, things like Google Glass isn’t going to replace work tools; the value of being hands-free AND being able to access your needed devices in 1 second or less are very high.
On a closing mark, I like the fact that Andrew is a drummer, specific placements of where things fall are very important. Having friends that value perfect placements make me feel that Andrew’s into something big here. His products are relevant with many people, and with naturally perfect placements, I’m looking forward to see Runner’s growing success.
Last but not least, Rick Tillilie from myFit took the stage to address a problem that’s undoubtedly in the mind of many women (and men!): clothing fit. Online shopping for new clothes are tricky; you don’t know how the garments will fit your body and/or it will look good on you. Online apparel retailers have 40% return rates, with clothing fit given as primary reason. myFit addresses this problem by taking your height and waist measurement to render a virtual 3D form wearing the garment you’re interested in, so you can see how it will fit on your body and whether it complements your personal style.
While myFit is addressing a very important problem, Rick lamented retail industry’s attitude that is slow to change. The retail industry continues to use outdated technology that highly contributes to the clothing fit issue. There’s hope though, myFit will launch with Sears, and the company is working to attract more retail partners.

This txetual crpus brings up the isses that some peoplle who
handle the matteer of citibank credit card face every daay, in order to supporrt their effort to get to be more indutsrious.
Credit lnies and credit cards on line are not reesponsible for monetary troubles. I`ts the abusse and misuse of crediit or and/or online secured creditcard which create monetary complications. Still, by exerting discipline, cardholdeers can benefit frrom the many convneiences and advantages of on line charge creditcard without geting caught in the vicoius cycle of hugge card balances (htat can only be settlle by tking more loans) tha`ts so frequently linked to utiliing creditcreditcard on line. Here`s a lst of recommendations on how you culd exploit secured creditcard online as a meanns to simplify purchhase transactions and earn rewarrds, getting addcted to the `hig` of credit pruchases.
If you`re not keeen to accept a pre-approved (nad unnasked-for) on line cc proposal sent by carrd issuers, nveer throw it in the garrbage. Somone up to no good who diigs it out miht use it to open a crd account by usng persoanl details as they apper on the offer and start making merry wiith a crd that beaars your name. Mkae very sure tat you destroy the applictaion by snipping it into severl prats and disposing of the rmenants in soome 3 or 4 trrash cans (or betteer still, run it through a shrdder). Another alterntive is to scoore a liine on the fce of the offr and mail it bacck to the compnay that sent it in the post-pid envelope included witth the crad offer. You also havve the opption to add a mmeo to the returned offfer that you would likke to be taken off ther mailing lis. Given belw are several pointers thaat can prove ueful if you wnt to be the one in charge wehn you utilze secured credit card:
- Request yuor bank for an addtiional checkbook register, whicch has columns for listing partiuclars such as date, amountts, etc. (banks usualy wlil let you have these fre) in oredr to document every online securedcard transactioon and caard payments. Do this the smae way tht you note down bannk account deposits and withdrwals whn you balance your checkbook.
- Never utilie securedcredit card on line to buy anything other thn whhat you have mdae allowance for in your budget.
- Alwyas stiick to this basic principle: jst becuase you can buy an item is hradly any justification for purchasng it.
- Take online c c wiith you only whn you have a $0 or nar $0 card detb. When you are carrying an outstandig ballance on the account,
