Have an old blender lying around? Might as well put it to good use or chuck it. We highly recommend turning it into a lamp because it’s cheap and easy to do. All you’ll need is a screwdriver and and a light socket like the kind you can buy for $3 at The Home Depot. An hour or two later, ...

After taking a good look at Johan De Broyer’s Soda Seal, I have to say I’m impressed. Time after time, soda cans are usually littered about the house, sometimes half-full. Rather than let them sit around and become flat, the Soda Seal would cut back on wasted soda and that’s always a good thing. The device isn’t intended to be ...

�I just can’t get enough of all this�new glass.� Saazs has developed a self-illuminating glass which could eventually�replace�light-bulbs�altogether. It’s an eco-friendly design that eliminates the need for electricity. �It doesn’t quite light up the room like a neon-light would and only lasts about 20 years, but it’s still a better solution if you’re all about the green.

Leave it to TokyoFlash to make yet another completely useless watch. This time around though, the company has created a watch I’d actually want to wear. Dubbed “Infection”, this watch emulates a colorful petri dish full of organisms (I said organisms, not orgasms. Get your mind out of the gutter.) There’s 27 multi-colored LEDs moving around that, apparently, can somehow ...

Klipsch knows how to bring the rock. No, literally. They bring the rock with this outdoor speaker known as the AWR-650-SM. Shaped like a big rock, it cranks out big sound with its 6.5-inch dual-voice woofer. Obviously designed for outdoor use, it’s UV-resistant and somewhat weather-resistant as well. Just in case your villa isn’t in Arizona, it comes in granite ...

Using industrial castoffs as well as other spare parts and pieces, Jan Korbes has constructed an alternative solution to housing that’s not only portable, but is also completely made up of recycled parts.�Though not a Reboot, it’s still a cool arts and crafts project. �I can’t see anyone wanting to live in it.�Unfortunately, we may not have a choice.
