This is intriguing to me. It seems like the perfect solution for notes that are important for several months and then trash. Do you have to use the pilot frixon pens on these?

Yes, you use the frixon. I use this for my hearing notes. So nice to not have a million yellow note pads. I just upload the notes after my hearing and put them the client folder. Then wipe with damp cloth and it's a new page.

Sounds cool. You have to scan it or take a pic of it, right? or can you just upload the notes like a file, e.g., pdf?

I use Notability on my iPad and it's worked out well. I like how I can upload articles and things on it and underline and do my notes right on the pages. I have saved so much time, money and trees as I rarely need to print stuff out anymore.

They have an app. It uses your phone's camera to PDFs the notes. You can also have it sent to different emails automatically.

MF's doing one of their "deal of the hour" things today in place of their usual "deal of the day" again.

I'm a Rocketbook fan, too. Just bought my second notebook in this sale. I use an executive sized Core for work notes, either notes from meetings that I'll scan to OneNote or quick notes to self that were just wasting paper before. I bought a letter-sized Flip this week because it seems more conducive to taking a lot of notes for schoolwork.

The Frixon pens come in two tip sizes and a variety of colors. There are highlighters that work too. The OCR scanning is hit or miss. Even with my neatest handwriting it sometimes puts line breaks in odd places, but cleaning it up beats re-typing handwritten notes, and searching OneNote definitely beats trying to find the page where I wrote that really important thing weeks ago.

I've been using them for a little over a year. I did their kickstarter this year for the orbit and love it.

My projector still looks quite good, but I'd sure like to upgrade to a "real" 4K projector.

I guess it says something about the Sony that it's been out over a year, and you still can't get a significant discount on one.

Okay, I just spent about an hour reading up on Rocketbooks and perusing their product options, then spent about $60 on stationary I wasn't planning on spending. Way to help me save money guys!

UK Amazon Warehouse Lego Land Rover bargain. "Used: Like New" 141 GBP (shipping to the States kills the deal for me):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-42110-Toy ... 07P2GQDQ6/

This deal might be hyper-specific, but 25% off at Constellation Records when you buy 4 or more albums. The prices are really great (and in CAD) compared go what some if these vinyls going for on ebay. Its a lot of experimental music, but if youre a fan of vinyl and unique music.. well this is heaven. Also you can learn where I got my username from

I got 9 LP's for a little over $100 usd + $9 usd shipping.

Bose Sport Earbuds
https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/hea ... gle.com%2F


$160 ($20 off). Most comfortable wireless earbuds I've ever tried and app updates will add volume control (already out for Apple, Android soon i hope).... not to mention there is the possibility of an equalizer. No soundthrough, but they don't really block sound so not really needed. The comfort comes from the fact they sit outside the ear canal no Passive Noise Cancelation as a result which is fine for me, I have the Bose 700s for that.

I will say these sound better than the gimmicky Jabra 75ts but a step behind the Sony WF 1000xm3s (which are the most painful Earbuds to wear imho). The clarity is next to none but if you're an bass addict maybe reconsider. On that note some people wear 80mm Invicta's and talk trash about Seiko 5s.

Edit: Not sure why volume control is being added with an update. I'm an android user but from what I've read it's a swipe up/down on the buds (not currently used for anything). So the function was there just not functional when the buds shipped?
