| Posted: 10 Sep 2009 02:24 AM PDT I have a confession; I'm a total lost cause when it comes to recharging my phone, iPod and camera. Three gadgets I can't leave my home without and somehow, I always leave it till the last moment for recharging! Needless to say, I manage just some amount of power on them and carry their wires with me, and plug them in the next available socket. Dandy, but what do I and others like me do, when we hit the beaches? Carry the Solar Tree of course! Awesome thought of having a personalized solar-powered pole with sufficient sockets to plug in multiple devices. Hail the Solar Tree! Designers: Jun-Se Kim, Min-Goo Kim & Dong-Eon Kim

| Vintage Nixie Tubes That Tell Time Posted: 10 Sep 2009 12:55 AM PDT Scores of you are going to drool over this unique time-telling machine! Called the Nixie Concrete Clock, its full-on retro with shiny orange Nixie tubes in a reinforced rough concrete body and can be wall mounted as well. Inspired by the vintage Z560M Nixie tubes, used in former East-Germany, this one's got 6 different tubes that keep you occupied with its shimmy looks and time telling techniques. Check out the movies on the Nixie Concrete website and learn more on this fully functioning prototype. FYI the current time being displayed is 10:23:54. Designer: Daniel Kurth

| Posted: 10 Sep 2009 12:03 AM PDT What do you do with an unused hanger, early in the morning? This right here is the worlds newest reinvention of the clothing hanger. In a very basic swift move of the hand, our super friend Mac has created the possibility for installation art in every home in the modern world. It’d make Alexander Calder proud to see and experience what Mac calls the “Mobile Hanger.” Not for playing with, kitty! Bad kitty, down! Not for you! This lovely little ditty is leftover artwork. This project is a hanger system that acts as a normal hanger unless it is not needed to hold clothing. While the normal hanger then becomes useless, the Mobile Hanger becomes art. See below how it is made to balance perfectly just so long as the obvious one-hanger-per-hole rule is followed, and wu-la! You’ve got your own little Institute of Art in your living room! Designer: Mac Funamizu

| Posted: 10 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PDT That’s the real deal name: “Mister Twister.” Designers Cate Hogdahl & Nelson Ruiz-Acal, aka Cate&Nelson, have come up with this fabulously chopped lamp for you all to gaze at and with. It appears to have been chopped twice precisely with a samurai sword which enables it to leak light in several “chinks” - more light in more places, that’s economy lamp-making. Such a simple sketch! Take a look at this lamp, then find out a place where I can buy it, then feel free to buy it for me. - You know that’s basically true of anything I post, folks, just keep that in mind. Cate&Nelson have created a unique little thang here and although it speaks for itself, you’ve gotta move it by hand, and it still runs on antiquated “light-bulb” technology. What’s up with that? Otherwise, hay! Independent swiveling means lights are shinin. Designer: Cate&Nelson

| Posted: 10 Sep 2009 12:00 AM PDT I really never gave it a thought before this, but how will a blind and a deaf person communicate with each other? One can't hear the voices and the other can't see the sign gestures! Both can't learn each other's special language; or can they? It may seem like a presumptuous situation, but something like the Sign Voice Language Translator (or SVLT) can offer a solution. The device acts like a translator, converting gestures in voice and voice into written text. I'd like to see a video of people testing this thing! Designer: Han-na Lee
