Hello everyone!

This week I'm mostly focusing on getting my talk ready for the U Symposium in Singapore. Really excited to meet and connect with lots of magazine fans/makers and enjoy the amazing food that Singapore has to offer. If you're into magazines and are in town this weekend, come join us

Glad my mate Steve is editing this week's issue. Take it away, Steve!

This Weekʼs Line-Up

A tiny, wireless document scanner
01

I love this small, portable document scanner. Syncs up with Evernote or Dropbox to create a searchable archive that helps you go paperless. You have to feed in one page at a time so it’s suited for personal or small business use. (It took our office two years to consume a ream of paper. Pretty proud of that.)

 
A tool to combine open tabs into a list
02

Are you one of those people who keep a whole bunch of tabs open at the same time? OpenTab for Chrome converts open tabs into a list you can recover later. This can be extremely useful if you find your computer running low on memory.

 
A leather-strip shelving system
03

My favourite addition to our new office are the Lightly bookshelves. They’re gorgeous, simple and wall mounted. Their clean aesthetic give our office a fresh, natural touch.

 
A 'new background' Chrome extension
04

One beautiful image is chosen each day and displayed as the background in Chrome. A simple extension that’ll brighten your day each time you open a new tab.

 
An umbrella to keep
05

Investing in a high-quality umbrella makes you feel like you’ve levelled up in adulthood. You become a person committed to one good umbrella rather than a bunch of cheaply made ones. If you’re a city dweller, please please please skip the golf umbrella.

 
A compact, free social bookmarking tool
06

A beautifully minimal social bookmarking tool that’s 100% free. A true passion project of Carl Woodward’s. While the userbase is small, they sure do know how to uncover interesting content.
