i don’t know why i havn’t done a post on the gorillapod yet, as i have had it for a couple of months now, and have already been raving about it on my twitter feed, as well as to everyone i know.

i have always wondered why british electrical plugs need to be so much bigger than foreign ones. this is a video of a design that improves it a lot. there might be some things i am missing, but as far as i can see, this idea is near flawless!

i can’t imaging them being the best quality ever, but for most of those products, [...]

in his ongoing project ‘dispatchwork‘ artist jan vormann uses LEGO bricks to repair damaged walls. he started by patching-up surfaces in bocchignano, italy and has since employed the technique on [...]
