A laptop is what every professional writer wants and needs. An Apple MacBook Pro takes it to a whole new level, and I love how it comes with everything you need(just purchase and go!).

Lamp/Lamp by Hironao Tsuboi

2 people recommended this item

Description

It's hard to think of a light source as mundane as the naked bulb. In a surprising twist, the Lamp/Lamp gives the lowly light bulb a new and delightfully absurd personality by simply adding an extra socket.

Swedish FireSteel

5 people recommended this item

Description

Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, Swedish FireSteel is a flash of genius. Its nearly 3,000°C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteel's dependability has already made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues. Amazingly enough it also works equally well when wet. We think geeks will appreciate the power of being able to start a fire with such a simple tool.

A metal blade is slowly moved across the Firesteel, generating sparks that can easily be thrown onto a small pile of dry grass, leaves or paper to start a fire. When the fire is becoming established, thin sticks of wood can be added, gradually increasing to thicker ones.

The Swedish FireSteel has these great features.

* Lights campfires, stoves, gas-barbecues
* Uses a magnesium alloy that consists of 7 metals
* Lasts for approximately 12,000 strikes
* Produces a spark temperature close to 3,000°C (5,500°F)
* Bright spark – can be used as emergency signal
* Functions in rain and snow
* Dimensions: main component is approx. 3.75" long
* Weight: approx. 1.9 ounces (via Think Geek)

DIY Plant Twitter Kit

4 people recommended this item

Description

Internet-Enable your Houseplant

There’s a school of thought that says that plants, like higher animals, have thoughts and feelings. They have an inner voice, and can tell you their life-stories, if only you could speak "plant." It’s not a difficult language to learn, actually - there are only a few words to contend with, since all they seem to care about is how much water they’re getting. There are no masculine or feminine nouns. Plus, there are no verb tenses, because plants have no concept of linear time.

The original breakthrough was made just a few months ago when the chief scientist at CERN, attempting to converse with a patch of catnip translated through their Milliard Gargantubrain computer, was able to discern "I CAN HAZ TWITTER?" The scientist didn’t quite understand that gibberish, but his granddaughter did, and the Plant Twitter Kit was born.

Once the kit is assembled, connect it to the Internet through the built-in ethernet jack, jam the leads into the plant’s soil, and subscribe to the plant’s twitter feed. It will tell you when it needs watering, or scold you if you’ve overwatered it, and report its status in between. The DIY Plant Twitter Kit comes unassembled, so you’ll have to break out the soldering iron and get to work. Don’t worry, it’s not that difficult to put together, and the satisfaction you get from building your own translation circuit is huge.

Details

* Do-It-Yourself Kit includes everything you need to understand what your plant is saying
* Connects to Twitter over the Internet to report its watering status
* Some soldering skill is recommended but not required
* You’ll also need a soldering iron, solder, needle-nose pliers, small snips, masking tape and a flat-head screwdriver (via Think Geek)

Green Laser Pointer II

3 people recommended this item

Description

Dare to be different. While everyone else is toying with red laser pointers, you can add this green one to your arsenal. It's about 50 times brighter than its red counterpart and the beam, rather than just the dot, is visible in dark conditions.
