The Snail Sink – The Backstory is Ridiculous

The snail sink, developed by High Tech, is a sink that appears to be a fossil of some prehistoric snail-like creature. What you didn’t know when you bought this sink was that High Tech stumbled upon it while making a great journey across the deserts of Egypt. The journeymen found a giant snail laying atop a sink that they believed could make them millions, due to its amazing design. A battle ensued between the tech nerds and the giant snail, but eventually …

Date Stapler – A Neat Freak’s Dream Come True

The date stapler, designed by Gonglue Jiang, is a simply great idea. By that, I mean that this is a very simple idea which happens to be the best thing since we interrogated that alien who led us to Mark Wahlberg’s house. (I got some good autographs out of that one.) The date stapler is a stainless steel device that incorporates these two things called “a stamp” and “a stapler.” By morphing these two everyday tools into one amazing product, Gonglue Jiang …

The Martin Jetpack – Jetpacks for Daily Commuters?

When was the last time you said, “I’ll be back in a few minutes, honey. Just going to jetpack to the corner market for some bread and milk.” This could be an actual conversation taking place in millions of American homes if Glenn Martin has anything to say about it. The jetpack business is serious business for the New Zealand company, creators of the Martin Jetpack. Rated by Time Magazine as one of last year’s 50 Best Inventions, Glenn Martin has spent …

The Scroll Bookshelf Concept Suggests That Reading Causes Severe Headaches

The Scroll Bookshelf concept, designed by Pei-Yi Chiu, Chia-Rung Shu, Wung-Bing Lin, and Wung-Bing Lin, was meant to foster everyone’s love of reading. The developers figured, rightly, that more people would decide to sit outside and read a book if they had a fancy way to store their reading material. While this is an awesome concept, I believe it also stresses the fact that reading can be a major headache. Let’s dive in, shall we? Scroll Bookshelf Concept – The Average Brain Of …

Custom Legend of Zelda Chess Set Is Astounding

The Legend of Zelda rivals Super Mario Brothers when it comes to classic Nintendo titles. This Legend of Zelda chess set, homemade by Ben Howards, uses characters from all eras of Zelda to create a massive battle of the wits! This is probably the only way you would get me to take a game of chess seriously. (Who am I kidding? I would just use them as action figures – forget chess. Maybe we could light Ganondorf on fire and save Hyrule …

Why The Ostrich Sleeping Pillow Is A Terrible Idea

Everyone is psyched about a new product called the Ostrich ( osterich, as spelled by some ), which I find to be unbelievable. This pillow is supposed to help you sleep on any kind of table by giving you a soft place to put your hands and head. There are so many things wrong with this product, and I am here to save your money, your dignity, and possibly even your life. The Ostrich Pillow – Robbery Is Inevitable …

The Coolest Terrarium Designs Ever Conceived

Terrariums are, for people not familiar with the language of horticulture, glass containers in which plants are grown. (Small animals can also inhabit terrariums.) These are the coolest DIY and commercial terrariums ever created, and can help spice up your gardening life. (Guys, gardening is cool – don’t be afraid to love it publicly.) Bonsai trees, small shrubs, and cacti are extremely popular inhabitants of terrariums, due to their tendency to remain small. Carnivorous plants, in some cases, can also be grown …

Edible Pen – We Can, and We Have

Why on earth would someone need an edible pen? Nobody knows. Why on earth would someone want an edible pen? Because it’s awesome. Designed by Dave Hakkens, the edible pen lets you do more than just chew on your writing utensil – you can eat it. The rings on the edible pen are hard candy, similar to the sugary goodness on candy necklaces. The edible pen also includes unflavored edible ink, which I probably wouldn’t eat. (I will eat my pen, …

Amazing Zen-Inspiring Bonsai Trees

Bonsai trees are the pinnacle of miniature plants, and can vary on the “awesome” spectrum from “cute” to “epic.” The cute bonsai trees have flowers and are tiny – like you took a shrink ray to a beautiful tree. The epic bonsai trees look like they’re blowing in an intense wind with samurais sleeping under their branches. I will love Japanese culture forever – they have awesome gadgets and satisfying horticulture. Acer Palmatum – Japanese Maple The Japanese Maple bonsai tree, acer …
