If you're going to have something watching your house, shouldn't it be secure and cute? Ulo is a precious gadget that monitors your house, takes pictures, and keeps you safe—all with the charm of a cartoon owl.
Everyone knows the eyes are the windows to the soul, so Ulo doesn't need more than a pair of extremely expressive peepers to communicate with you. Ulo's eyes will follow movement, squint when someone is watching the live feed, look sleepy with the battery is low, and wink when taking pictures. You can even change the color and size of its eyes on your phone to match it to your mood or interior.

For an added dose of cuteness, you give Ulo commands by bopping it on its little noggin. One tap turns it off, and two taps turns on alert mode. Once in alert mode, the avian spy will record any movements in your home and convert the video into a gif that can be sent to your email. Once you re-enter the house, your phone will connect to the Wi-Fi and Ulo will disengage automatically.
Ulo can stand on any surface or stick to the wall for the best vantage point. In alert mode, its battery lasts about a week; in everyday mode, it lasts about two days.

Circuit Scribe Lite Kit, a all-in-one starter pack to create simple circuits with conductive ink. Once you unpack this kit set-up is simple, by drawing two lines that connect the LED module to a battery with the Conductive Ink Pen you will have your first basic circuit. Of course you don’t need to just stop at lighting up an LED Module, the Conductive Ink Pen included in this kit can be used for any type of circuit you wish to create!
With Circuit Scribe you can draw exactly what you want, no wires or breadboard required. You can build a circuit with nothing but a coin battery, paper clip, and LED, or build out complex circuits with multiple components. The Conductive Ink Pen included in this kit uses a non toxic, silver conductive ink that writes on any surface a regular roller ball pen would with a resistance of 2-10 Ohms/cm. Meanwhile, the LED Module will glow either red or blue depending on which direction the current from the coin cell battery is flowing.
Note: Due to the requirements of shipping the batteries in this kit, orders may take longer to process and therefore do not qualify for same-day shipping. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
When using iPad Pro, there may be moments when you want even greater precision. So we painstakingly designed Apple Pencil to expand on the versatility of Multi-Touch. And while the technology inside is unlike anything we’ve ever engineered, picking up Apple Pencil for the first time feels instantly familiar. It lets you make any number of effects, right down to a single pixel, giving you more creative freedom than ever before.
You may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to use it. From the first moment, it does what you expect. And then far more. Whether you’re sketching in the park, painting a watercolor portrait, or drafting a blueprint, Apple Pencil gives you a variety of tools in a single instrument. You hold it, but it doesn’t hold you back.
Highly responsive. Virtually no lag.
The lightning-fast responsiveness of Apple Pencil separates it from other creative tools. That’s because its latency — the tiny delay between when you begin drawing and the time it appears on the screen — has been reduced to an almost imperceptible level.
iPad Pro knows whether you’re using your finger or Apple Pencil. When iPad Pro senses Apple Pencil, the subsystem scans its signal at an astounding 240 times per second, giving it twice the data points it normally collects with your finger. This data, combined with Apple‑designed software, means that there’s only milliseconds between the image you have in your mind and the one you see on the display.
Draw lines of any weight. Just apply pressure.
Within its slender case are intricate and accurate pressure sensors, capable of measuring a range of forces. The carefully positioned sensor determines precisely how hard the tip of Apple Pencil is being pressed down. Press harder to draw thicker lines. Or use a gentle touch for wispy hairlines. The variety of creative effects is virtually limitless. Which means you are as well.
Add shading with a tilt of the hand.
Two tilt sensors built within the tip of Apple Pencil calculate the exact orientation and angle of your hand. As you naturally write or draw, the relative positions of each of these sensors can be detected by the Multi-Touch display. So you can create shading effects simply by tilting Apple Pencil the way you would a charcoal or conventional pencil.
12 hours of battery life.
You supply the creative charge.
Slip off the magnetic cap of Apple Pencil to reveal a Lightning connector that lets you charge Apple Pencil simply by plugging it into iPad Pro. The connector features a slightly elongated design, so that charging is possible even when iPad Pro is inside its Silicone Case. In a rush? Just 15 seconds provides enough charge for half an hour of use. And a full charge gets you 12 hour’s worth of scribbling, sketching, annotating, and editing.*
Sketch new life into your favorite apps.
Make the most of iOS 9 when you use Apple Pencil with built-in apps. Apple Pencil will also work with iPad apps from the App Store. So you’re sure to find whole other dimensions of creativity and productivity.
