Collectible. Collectible. Wearable. Customizable. Electronic. These buzz word describe the latest in wearable bracelets: the Nex Band.
This next generation charm bracelet comes with an initial set of
modular components (mods) that include a microcontroller, a vibration
motor, a low-energy Bluetooth radio and a battery that can last for 2-4
days, depending on how much you use it.
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.
When babies venture outside with their parents, most are hanging out in a front carrier and are draped in a blanket or blinded by a hat meant to protect them from the sun. Enter Shaidee. Canadian mom, Nicole Barrett, invented a chemical-free alternative to sunscreen. And bad fashion.
If you are working on your transformation into full-blown crazy cat
lady, simply having a dozen or two felines just isn’t good enough.
Instead, you’ve got to embrace the fashion so the whole world can see
just how much you love kittens. You know, beyond the pet hair that is
adhered to your clothing permanently (trust me, I know). With a second
design for dog lovers, these pet happy fashions also work double duty;
supporting the lives of felines and canines alike.
All houses, offices and stores have windows, mostly in order to deliver natural light inside them. However, sometimes the sunlight is just to much and, to block it, we use blinds. But these blinds are somewhat inaesthetic and, for stores, are not exactly great for business. But all this may be about to change, because a Silicon Valley company has developed a special glass that blocks the sunlight on its own.
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.
Crashes happen, and sometimes can leave a person incapacated, unable to reach help. That’s where the ICEdot Crash Sensor comes in. This sensor can detect impact and contact help in cases on emergency. In short, it can save your life.
Bellabeat

baby’s heartbeat and kicking patterns while it’s still in the womb. The
latest app update includes the ability for expectant mothers to monitor
their moods and connect with other expectant mothers, to catch early

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.
