SMART RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

I was cruising some random websites today and came across this cool rechargeable USB battery by Moixa Energy Ltd. It works much like any other rechargeable on the market except you can plug it in to any computer via USB port to charge. That's right- no more fishing around for some bulky charger you likely had to pay extra for.

Here's a fun fact: more than 15 billion batteries are chucked each year!

We (myself included) are a horrible society filled with remote control junkies who pretend to be green. Now make amends by buying yourself some of these bad boys.

Wait a sec....does calling people wasteful and then advising them to buy more make me a hypocrite? Oh right, this blog is about art and design so no one cares!

ODE TO THE MIX TAPE

I forgot to mention another favorite item from Lost Marbles in Ottawa.....a clever ode to the mix tape in our digital generation. The memory stick stores up to 1 hour of high quality digital music - which is about the same amount you could hold of a C60 cassette tape.

Love it? Have to have it? Check out http://www.suck.uk.com for this product and loads of other fun pretty things. If anyone out there from suck.uk.com is reading this and feels like sending me stuff....I like stuff....a lot...especially free stuff.
