We suppose you have seen those holes that some office desks are endowed with. Those that you are supposed to put your power and other cables through to minimize clutter. Well, we think this idea for a cable duct grommet beats everything we have seen in this area so far. Admit it, you have crawled on the floor to retrieve an unused cable, too. Or maybe you are in the habit of placing something heavy on them, when they are not in use? Cable grommet by Ram-hae Keum and Jung-Jin So. Love it.brbr

The highway authorities of Western Finland had had some problems with people vandalizing the public roadside restrooms they had installed for the urgent needs of travelers And, one might surmise, to reduce the number of patches of yellow snow along the side of the roads. The solution was not closing down the restrooms altogether, or investing in video surveillance. No, instead the Finns decided to put in text message controlled locks. The cost of opening a restroom is nothing more than the regular text message, but the senders number is kept in a database for some time, allowing maintenance to track down vandals. The state of Swedish roadside restrooms is usually somewhere between horrible and core melt down, so this idea might be something for Swedish Vägverket to study?brbr

There are occasions when you might want a little extra privacy. In hotels, offices or maybe student accommodations. At the same time, door locks are not always up to the standard you might want them to be. The How Sar lock has been made to address this problem and to offer a little more safety to those who want it. It consists of two parts. The flat one is placed by the recess where the door latch goes and it will sit between the door and the sill when the door is closed. By inserting the crescent-shaped part you lock the latch in its position and the door cannot be opened. To unlock, you simply remove the crescent part.brbr

This tape can be used whenever you want to reduce friction between two surfaces. Like drawers, for instance. The tape is transparent, and is promised to be very tough, so it will not wear down any time soon. The slippery-tape is USD 11:70 per roll of 18′. That should be enough for all the drawers in an average home.brbr
