GearEye is a product currently on Kickstarter that wants to help you manage your gear.  If you're a one man band you know that keeping track of equipment is a difficult part of the job. We each have our own organizational tricks and methods, but in the back of our heads is always the possibility of a lost or stolen item of equipment.  Whether it's an SD card, radio mic kit or something else, we want to be able to keep complete track of our kit.  This stuff was expensive after all!

Gear Eye works by using RFID tags and a companion app to keep track of what you have and what you may be missing.  Just tag your gear, log it into the app and keep track of it in a streamilned way.  This product is not yet available, but it looks like it's going to be coming to you soon.

This morning, I went out early to buy my copy of the weekend FT — a great newspaper, by the way. I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
