    Want to use your smart phone or other touch-screen device on the cold deck of your boat?

    Digits is a way to stay warm while staying connected. It’s from the folks at Quirky. The cold weather is here in a lot of the country. But you don’t have to let the cold keep you from your digital connections!Digits are mini conductive pins that attach to the gloves you already love. so you can use them on electronic touch screen devices, like smartphones and MP3 players, even when it’s below zero. They’re simple to use. Digits separate into two pieces. Place the backside of the digit (with post) inside the fingertip of the glove and push through. Then twist the other side of the digit onto the post. Digits are made of conductive silicone, with a metal pin on the back for attaching to your glove. They’re black in color and come in packs of four so you can use them on multiple sets of gloves or give a set to a friend. You probably will use two Digits on the glove you use for your electronics. $11.99 a pack at the Quirky website. You should be able to find them for a buck or two cheaper if you do a web search.
