Hasta La Ideas

There seems to be an infinite demand for organizers in general, and cable organizers in particular. Our on-line lifestyle brings us more cables all the time, and naturally we must come up with ways to organize them. So why should your power cables collect dust devils on the floor when they can be neatly rolled up on a cleat like this. The concept and prototype comes from Karl Zahn and it is really very simple-. A new face plate to the old socket, and you are set to go. It is made for US plugs, but adapting it to European, Australian, UK or Japanese standards should be a cinch.brbr

Energizer are launching a mobile charger powered by ordinary size AA batteries. It is supposed to have adapters for Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, HTC and Blackberry. Just our luck it does not come with an adapter for Palm. Beginning next week it will be available in grocery stores, and after that in gas stations and c-stores and the likes. It vill be around SEK 179:- (approx. USD 28:-) with batteries.brbr

Eva Solo, with designers Claus Jensen and Henrik Holbæk, do not usually disappoint. Neither in form nor function. In fact, what is close to unique with EvaSolo is their ability to combine harmony in form with out-of-the-box thinking when it comes to function. And they have done it again. The Smiley bowl, that is really two bowls in one, is hand made in glass, and thus no Smiley is exactly like the other. What they have in common is function. One part for nuts, another for shells; one part for candy, the other for the wrappers; one for chips, one for the dip. You decide…brbr

Getting the dog water on trips can be done in many ways. A separate bowl brought from home, a paper picnic plate, a hubcap (in the time when there were real hubcaps), your own cupped hand… well, there are many ways. Here is a novel attempt to solve this problem. A water bottle with a water bowl attached. Just pour and serve. And you will not forget the bowl. USD 8:-.brbr
