Pissed off with the rainy weather? Can’t stand the sun’s rays bearing down on you? Fight them all off with the Ninja Umbrella! Just be prepared for the suspicious stares from the ignorant masses (and revered looks from those who know) when you have it strapped across your back on that nice windy day.

Almost eight years old, but Dialtones (A Telesymphony) is an awesome software, idea and performance all rolled into one big ball of awesomeness.

Fleeting Seating: The Slightly Uncomfortable Chair Collection is an awesome idea to making those unbearably (and sometimes needlessly) long meetings more efficient.
Pure genius.

Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

The XO Laptop, despite all the criticism, is for a noble cause and is a wonderful product. I bought it last year and I’ve had hours of great fun on it – it’s got great battery life, a superb screen that works great outdoors and it’s (almost as) hard as nuts. I can’t wait for our kid to grow up and bang away on it!

Self-dipping chicken nuggets are but one of the attractions at the new Banksy installation in New York which is contained in a store called The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. Videos seem to show a great deal more detail, especially the animatronics.

Swedish designer Peter Thuvander wants to make charging your iPhone or iPod literally into child’s play with his iYo. It’s just a concept at this point and it was borne out of the dark Swedish winters where there isn’t any sun for solar device chargers. Maybe Apple or some other large manufacturer might pick it up for mass production one day if this yo-yo gets enough spin in the media.

Hello
Most folks who visit random notes
seem to hang around for about
9.672 minutes on average.
My name is and I just learned that the hash sign is also known as an octothorp. It's exactly this kind of unnecessary information works its way into conversations that scares people away from me. Not that I am really complaining though…
