For on-the-go projects: Rollbe, The Work of Mind (22 days to go)
This pocket-sized rolling ruler was designed to measure both straight lines and curved surfaces—fitted with a brass handle and knurled edges for steady use. Available in metric or imperial measuring systems, the stainless steel ruler is offered in 4" (10-centimeter) and 8" (20-centimeter) lengths. A laser engraved arrow marks a starting point at the maximum 4" or 8" length of the ruler; the user must add any additional inches or fractions after the roller has come full circle in order to accurately calculate the measurements. Because the ruler's circular shape does not fit well with right angles, the radius or diameter of each ruler is also engraved at the center to make measuring corners possible. kickstarter.com
