the great wall of ipads

ipad wall design refurbished

Even though the iPad was just announced, there are already plenty of concepts emerging that could take advantage of the device. This one is somewhat interesting, but dubious. It’s basically a huge display made from a bunch of refurbished/recycled iPads. (Once there are refurbished/recycled iPads to be had.)

climbstation endless rock climbing wall makes my arms, legs and wallet hurt just looking at it

climbstation

Now I can barely stomach the idea of ascending one of those rock climbing walls you see at the gym, and now some masochist had to go and invent this.

the outlet wall does away with need for those pesky power strips

outlet_wall

If you look at the outlet strips behind my home theater setup, you’d understand why I think this idea is so cool.

fragile future 2 led lamp made from dandelions

The Fragile Future 2 lighting fixture really lives up to its name. You see, each tiny light source is actually framed by the seed pods of a dandelion. Now why is it called the Fragile Future 2? Presumably, because the Fragile Future 1 was just a little TOO breakable.
