Shitty title, but whatever. This is an impressive work of art from artist Sam Spenser. He calls his creation “Bloom” and I think it’s quite an appropriate title for a guy who shoved what looks like 50 umbrellas into a tree. It’s kind of beautiful but also a little on the weird side. Know what I mean? It just doesn’t ...

Have you played any of the games in the Resident Evil series? No? Then skip to another post. For the rest of us, ThinkGeek is offering up an umbrella that would make Leon shit his pants with fear any day of the week.

On some days, it rains and rains until a flood surrounds us and nothing is left but water. We walk through crowds of people to our jobs, staying inside a cubicle for hours until leaving to return home. The next day, the process is repeated and it continues to rain. Nothing new can come with the rain. Nothing dry. It ...

Found at Yanko Design, this Bluetooth Umbrella from Mikhail Stawsky is about as ridiculous as it gets. While you’re using your umbrella in a downpour, you can take a call with the built-in Bluetooth headset. This way you can talk into your umbrella handle during a downpour with wind blowing all around you. Makes a ton of sense. Tell you ...

For a smoker, catching a cig before work is a must whether the weather be rain or shine. Some of us can’t find a dry area half the time and if you’re in Seattle, forget it. In comes the Smoker’s Umbrella to save the day. Equipped with a clip-on ashtray, you’ll be able to keep dry and puff down without ...

You might look like a pussy carrying this umbrella around if it weren’t for the fact that it’s unbreakable. Yes, that’s right. Just like the M. Night Shyamalan movie Unbreakable but without the fear of water. The umbrella is fully functional like any normal umbrella except for the fact that you could kill a man with it. Bludgeoning someone with ...

Parasolar, a solar parasol, is the beach umbrella of the future. What with all this “global warming” stuff going on, mankind is pretty much screwed. You’ll have to do your part, like harnessing solar power into umbrellas. Use the Parasolar during sunny days and it will capture solar energy to recharge your gadgets and gear. Equipped with 12-volt output and ...

I don’t know why we’re so obsessed with umbrellas but I’m Gene Kelly would be proud. Take this Umbrella Stool. Going to an outdoor concert and skies are overcast? Check SimpleWeather (oh shit! a plug!) and grab your Umbrella stool. Not only will it keep your ass comfortable, it’ll also keep you dry in the event there’s a sudden downpour. ...

How many times have you walked out of your house in the morning without checking the weather, only to be stuck in the rain later that day, sans an umbrella? You really suck at life sometimes. Hell, we all do. But our hands are full. Smelling like wet dog is so unappealing, and you can only wish you look as ...

If you have an extra hand free to hold up an umbrella (and if not, there is always Nubrella), you might as well make it the coolest damn umbrella possible. The Wi-Fi Umbrella has a built-in camera which snaps shots of you as you stroll around town on a rainy day. The umbrella even allows you to upload the photos ...
