Hasta La Gadget!

You know how it is. You get up in the middle of the night, shuffle into the dark bathroom, do your thing.(Forget the light. It’s too bright) Then you wake up in the morning to your wife slapping you and she makes you clean up your mess. That won’t happen with this awesome glow in the dark toilet seat.

Now you can always see where you are aiming. NightGlow has several versions available for $49.99(USD) each, and they light the way with either a blue or green glow. No matter how drunk you are, you will never have a problem in the wee hours of the morning again.

This is what it’s like to live in the world of TRON. Your toilet seat can finally match your lightcycle.

The slow creep of Jony Ive’s flat-friendly software design is starting to pick up its pace with the new beta version of iCloud.com.

As the dust settled over the new Xbox One this summer, one point that kept coming up—maybe predictably—was size: The console is surprisingly chunky. Just chunky enough to make you wonder whether its wide berth isn’t a hint at what Microsoft’s engineers were hiding in there—and what it could reveal about their intentions for future generations of Xbox.

It’s tough being a human. All of that standing around and bearing your own weight can be tiring. What’s a poor old meatsack to do? Well, you can get the Mogo. This stick is basically a kickstand for your butt, so that you can take a load off whenever it gets to be too much.

This monopod props you up whenever you need a break from walking or standing and features telescoping sections that extend from 18″-37″. It has a fiberglass reinforced seat, and a reversible rubber base that switches from hard surfaces to soft for when you are on either turf or sand. It’s designed to support up to 200 pounds.

It’s great for long lines or just, you know, being lazy. It sells for $80(USD) over at the Focal Store, and should be released this September.

This red-sided house, rotting on a quiet street of York, Alabama, was once a symbol of the town’s struggle with blight. But over the past two years, with the help of the citizens who invited him there, artist Matthew Mazzotta has disassembled the abandoned structure and rebuilt it—as a tiny home that unfolds into an open-air theater. It’s like the circle of life, for architecture.
