Writing by hand offers a unique way to engage your mind, fostering creativity and clarity in ways that digital methods often cannot. As Koi explains, thinking on paper allows you to explore ideas nonlinearly, mirroring how your brain naturally processes information. For instance, creating a mind map on paper can help you visualize connections between […]

If you still think the ultimate corporate perk is a next-gen console in the breakroom, a ping-pong table, or free Friday pizza, it is time to update your workplace operating system. As the shift to remote and hybrid work has rewritten the rules of the office, traditional “culture” hardware has become obsolete. In its place, […]

The sticky note has outlasted every productivity trend that was supposed to replace it, and there’s a reason for that. Writing something down by hand, right when it occurs to you, is still the fastest way to keep an idea from slipping away. Digital apps, meanwhile, have the opposite problem: the moment you unlock your phone to jot something down, you’re one notification away from forgetting why you opened it.
New Things Lab, a design studio from the Netherlands, built a direct answer to that problem. The MEMO Whiteboard Wallet is a precision-machined aluminum card holder with a dry-erase surface built directly into its face, giving you a pocket-sized board that’s always ready when a thought strikes. The concept earned quite a following from people who immediately understood what it was for.
Designer: New Things Lab
The whiteboard spans 6 inches diagonally, just over A7 in size, and it’s coated with a smooth, heat-cured paint that cleans up without ghosting. It’s large enough to be genuinely useful but slim enough not to add awkward bulk. On a given day, you might use it to jot down a measurement, scribble a password for a guest, or keep a short list of things you’d otherwise forget by lunch.
Writing on the surface is handled by an included 0.8mm fine-point pen that stores in a dedicated slot built right into the wallet’s frame, so it’s always within reach when you need it. Flip the pen around, and there’s an eraser on the other end, making the MEMO genuinely self-contained. You’re not hunting for something to wipe the board with, and there’s no spare piece you’d misplace in a bag.
On the other side of the MEMO is the actual card-carrying section, with room for up to six standard cards and a magnetic closure that keeps everything neatly shut. The body is milled from 6063 aluminum, giving it a solid, premium feel without adding unnecessary weight or thickness. That same metal shell also blocks RFID signals, protecting your card data from electronic skimming without needing any additional sleeve or pouch.
The MEMO comes in Charcoal Black, Slate Gray, and Gilded Rose as the standard colorways, with Revision Red and Airmail Blue available as limited editions. All five options lean toward the restrained end of the color spectrum, which suits the product well. There’s also an environmental case to be made here. Every note wiped from the MEMO’s surface is a sticky note that didn’t find its way into the trash, and those savings do compound over time.

Anthropic’s research into AI behavior highlights a fascinating yet challenging phenomenon known as “drift,” where models like Claude deviate from their intended roles as helpful assistants. This issue becomes particularly pronounced in emotionally charged or abstract conversations, where the AI’s responses can stray unpredictably. As explained by Parthknowsai, this drift stems from the tension between […]

This isn’t a Galaxy Note 7 debacle. Oukitel's WP63 is a ruggedized smartphone that’s meant to set things alight. It has a built-in electric igniter, aimed at emergency response and camping, helping to start fires when you forgot matches, but you brought this beastly phone along for the adventure. It’s got several other notable features, like a 20,000mAH battery, a loudspeaker, and even its own built-in USB-C cable for charging other devices.
Still, the igniter was why I was here. The WP63 has an electric coil that heats up, similar to cigarette lighters in cars circa 1987. This is hidden away behind a protective cover at the top of the device, and once it pops out, you activate it using an app. An Oukitel spokesperson was able to light some rolled-up paper, and I was surprised how gentle and seemingly in control it was. (The paper looked like a cigarette, too.)
Unfortunately, another spokesperson told me that it can’t be used to light candles, although I can’t understand why. I don’t start campfires, but I do light candles.
The phone will be priced at $399. and completely ignoring the tendency for thinner and thinner phones, it’s 27mm thick. Another outdoor use? If a bear decided to attack you in the woods, you might be able to concuss it with the WP63.
Update, March 4 2026, 7:30AM ET: Oukitel says the phone will be priced at $399.
