Read MoreThe Trap Light – a simple, elegant light source
There’s an ever-growing variety of outdoor solar lighting on the market. But two designers from the Netherlands have created an elegant alternative. The Trap Light uses photoluminscenct pigments embedded within hand-blown Morano glass. This process allows the lamp, which is molded with a wooden frame, to absorb light from any external light source – be it sunlight, LED or incandescent light bulb. This fascinating lamp requires only 30 minutes of light charge to then emit up to eight hours of…

Genius Wireless Ring Mouse
Sometimes using a wireless mouse is nice. You don’t have to worry about the reach of the cord, or it getting all tangled up in your bag. The only problem is that you may not always have the surface area to use one. A wireless mouse still needs a flat surface, and plenty of it if you actually want to travel across your screen. As this is not always possible, you may want to look into getting the Genius Wireless…

Pac-Man Oven Mitts keep your kitchen geeky
If you love to bake and are in love with the nostalgia of Pac-Man, you’re going to want to look into getting the Pac-Man HotHead Oven Mitt. Sure, you could always use a regular old cloth oven mitt, but those have to go in the wash, deteriorate, and can burn if you leave it touching a high-temperature for too long. This particular oven mitt is made out of silicone, makes for an excellent protective barrier, and a remarkably easy cleanup….

Deposit checks directly to Paypal using your Android phone
With debit cards and Paypal, it’s a wonder that anyone still writes checks. The only thing I still write checks for is my rent every month, simply because it’s the only method my landlord will accept. Once in a great while I’ll receive a check from someone, which used to mean a trip to the bank to cash it. Since Paypal introduced the ability to deposit checks via iPhone last year, I’ve not had to visit the bank. So what…

Vacuum-seal cheap Ziploc bags to make your food last longer.
When you need to save food for long periods of time, one of the smarter ways is to vacuum-seal it. This gets out all of the air, which helps to preserve the contents for much longer than other traditional storage methods. Unfortunately, doing this usually requires the use of special hardware and bags, which can cost more than you really want to spend. Of course, there’s always the DIY route, if you want to get the best of both worlds….

Tunermatic Automatic Guitar Tuner
As a musician, I know what kind of talent it takes to be able to tune an instrument by ear. For some, it’s something they have in their innate abilities and have something called perfect pitch. For everyone else, it is an arduous task that must be repeated over and over again until your ear just picks up on what sounds right. For those who are starting out, and especially those who live in humid areas, you may want to…

Verbal Bicycle Bell yells out in warning
There are times when drivers and pedestrians alike aren’t paying attention to those on bicycles. There are far too many incidents with cyclists in which they could just not make their presence known to those around them.

Chevillotte’s Very(Tables)
It can be hard for those of us that love to play billiards, but live in a tiny space. You would literally have to make the pool table the only piece of furniture in a room, which would also make it your dining room table, catch-all for mail and coats, and occasionally the only place you can sit. This will make it very dirty very quickly, which will inhibit your game if it gets enough crud on it. If you…
