…. Don’t ask what it does; ask what it doesn’t do, and I’d have to think
hard. Ah! it doesn’t accommodate your bathroom needs and it doesn’t
bring your breakfast to you (unless you have a robot aide, and then it
could command it), but it might be able to cook your breakfast –
remotely, of course.
Doormats get a bad rap. They take all the dirt we can wipe off on them,
withstand tremendous weight, let our dogs urinate on them. And when
doormats get very dirty or very old, their owners don’t even bother to
clean them; they throw them away and lay new ones out. But a South
Carolinian inventor, Andrew Clark, has created a doormat you won’t want
to throw away… because it’s very very smart.
Relationships are hard work, whether you have been part of a couple for a
couple of months, or a couple of decades. Keeping the spark alive is
easier said than done, and as two people get to know each other
completely, managing to surprise each other is tough. Of course, with
effort, a relationship does not need to fizzle and lose what it had
during its early days.
Even cats that groom themselves can only do it to a point. They can’t
clean their ears, for example, or remove their shedding fur very easily.
They can’t give themselves medications or put bandages around their
scrapes and, funny, for some reason, they don’t like it very much when
we try to administer to them. So, lucky for us, the folks at Downtown Pet Supply came up with this Cat Grooming Bag aka Cat Restraint Bag.
Ooho. Who would have thought it? Three London-based design
students came up with Ooho, a water container that’s not plastic, not vinyl,
not stainless steel… but an edible algae! Ooho was considered so brilliant that, among other coveted awards, it won the 2014 Lexus Design Award.
Ever consider leaving Facebook? Heck, the Millennials are bailing in droves. But
when push comes to shove and it’s time to put the pedal to the metal,
how many of us would actually pull the trigger? Well, there is one brave
band of renegades who have not only set the bar fairly high as to how
to cut those ties – but also how to read the riot act to the founding fathers while walking out of the door.
The driverless car hovers in our midst as the vehicle of tomorrow. What are the implications, however, when the driver’s attention doesn’t have to be focused on the road? Technology has developed some amazing diversions to help riders pass the time. Read on for more about this most interesting phenomenon.
Fashion inspired by literature is not a new concept. Some designers have
selected literal interpretations – incorporating the image of a book or
its pages into a whimsical garment. Others are more focused on
fictional fashion, taking a note from the heroes or heroines and
bringing their wardrobes to life. The most recent designer to tackle
this trend has decided to focus on menswear inspired by a character well
lusted after and envied.
One thing boomers learn fast: Medicare and other insurance plans don’t
pay for hearing aids. And those buggers can cost up to $4,000 – $5,000 a
pair. There’s perhaps no one who knows these facts better than the man
who invented the Lyric hearing aid, which, on a subscription basis,
cost that much per pair per year! Now, that man, Adnan Shannib,
has invented iHear, the hearing aid for the 99 percent of us who would
love to hear, but can’t afford those Lyric prices. It’s the iHear, and
wait ’til you see what’s different about these hearing aids!
You know that Bitcoins have gone mainstream when this unique form of tender is featured in the
plot line of a current TV drama. That’s right – the world’s first
decentralized cryptocurrency lacking any political authority was
featured in the recent season finale episode of the Fox network series, ‘Almost Human.’ Granted, while the premise of that detective drama is set in the year 2048. . .
