Remember SunTable? After There are those postpone and well-placed design touch-ups, the table created from what i read in teak, stainless steel and you estimated it, solar cells is now shipping. Better yet, it is no longer priced at $3,600 either. For $2,200, UPS can ship the 45-pound weatherproof, 120 volt table through sufficient battery storage for up 4-hours of laptop / TV use or 6-hours of night era lighting of a 25 watt bulb — subsequent to a 4-hour direct sunbeams credit mind you.

Emergency Party Button turns cribs to clubs in seconds flat

Not to be confused with the absolutely worthless (sorry, the truth hurts) Big Red Button of Doom, the Emergency Party Button has a very specific purpose. Designed to take a vanilla home from mundane to spectacular in just seconds, this connected trigger basically flips a boring crib into a bumpin’ club whenever you see fit. Just to give you an idea of what goes down when you mash the button, you’ll see hallway lights turn off, blinds close, a fog machine come alive, speakers crank up and loads of laser lights turn active. All told, the project cost the builder just north of $600, which seems like a real bargain given what you get. Jump on past the break to have a look on video.
