Sun in a Jar: DIY Solar Lamp, Aglow with Awesome Sun in a Jar: DIY Solar Lamp, Aglow with Awesome Article by Delana, filed under Fixtures & Interiors in the Design category. Catching a bit of the sun’s light and keeping it in a jar sounds like fantasy, but in fact Sun Jars let you do just that. Meant to mimic the gentle glow of a sunset, sun jars are a sweet little way to brighten up your world. While it is bright outside, sun jars capture and collect the rays of the sun, storing that energy until the sun ducks below the horizon for the night. For instant gratification, sun jars can be purchased in pink, blue and yellow varieties. The project can be as simple or as involved as you want it to be, depending on your skills and the available materials. However your sun jar comes into existence, grouping several of these little jars together on a patio or porch makes for the perfect decorative lighting.
Grub Hub packs a camp kitchen in a rolled suitcase We've covered a few camp boxes like the Kanz Field Kitchen and My Camp Kitchen in the past. These boxes serve to organize all of a camper's cooking gear into one box, so as to keep everything easy to transport from garage to campground and prevent things from getting lost. The new Grub Hub is a similar concept but packaged in a softer, more portable package. View all Unlike the aforementioned camp boxes, which are made from rigid materials like wood and aluminum, the Grub Hub is a semi-soft design. At the campsite, the Grub Hub sets up in minutes. Inspired by a boating trip on Utah-Arizona-straddling Lake Powell, inventor Joe Baughman spent the past eight years tinkering around with his design, getting patents and bringing it to market. "The product’s goal is to provide a totally functional camp kitchen system with the highest level of portability possible," Baughman said in a press release. I've been on several camping trips where a lack of table space was a real problem.
Fresh Spin: Rounded Space-Saving Clothes Drying Rack Fresh Spin: Rounded Space-Saving Clothes Drying Rack Article by Urbanist, filed under Furniture & Decor in the Design category. Hanging clothes out to dry is a design problem with a long history and many solutions, making it all the more rare to see something like this clever star-shaped approach that addresses the issue with such adeptness. In some Asian or European regions with more temperate climates, people string their clothes outside to dry, taking maximum advantage of warmth and airflow. Apartment and condo dwellers in colder places often have fewer options – Aaron Dunkerton of Queensland, Australia, but graduate of Kingston University, in the colder United Kingdom, can relate to both sets of conditions. The clever twelve-pointed-star design allows for maximum air circulation and hanging area with a minimum footprint when the drying rack is folded up and stored.

BikeSpike GPS tracker improves chances of recovering a stolen bike Bicycles are a notoriously easy target for thieves, but technology is here to help in the form of a new device that promises to help cyclists safeguard their property and recover it if stolen. Currently seeking funds on KickStarter, the Chicago-based BikeSpike team has designed a GPS tracker that features a built-in antenna, an on-board accelerometer and a connection to a GSM mobile phone network that allows users to keep tabs on their bike via a smartphone or computer. The BikeSpike isn't meant to replace a locking system, but rather add another layer of security, one that can be disguised with a custom water bottle cage. After physically locking their bike in the normal way, the cyclist can then "digitally lock" their vehicle by arming the device via a web, iOS, or Android app. If the bike moves out of a predefined boundary, the user receives an alert telling them the bike is on the move. Besides security, BikeSpike can also act as a safety device. Source: BikeSpike via KickStarter
