Designed by fellow New Yorker and Brooklyn-based artist William Lamson, this lifehack is probably the easiest way to eliminate a public security camera. First, you’ll need a helium-filled balloon and some string. A weight won’t hurt either. Get the balloon full of static electricity and then raise it up to the camera. As it sticks, tie the string to the ...

Toilet paper isn’t exactly the most exciting thing in a household. I’d say it borders somewhere above Q-tips and below the dishtowel. Now you can spice up your bathroom with this $50 TP holder from Japan. It’s called the Airyusha Robotan Toilet Paper Holder and comes in either black, red, yellow or silver/metallic.

Here’s a series of jellies that were designed by prestigious architects. And by prestigious I mean random. Each piece is currently on auction, so if you really fancy any of this stuff, feel free to whip out your Master Card.
