singing bird alarm clock

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

This clock will wake you up each morning (or night, which ever time you wish to wake up in) with bird calls.

The clock offers nine different bird songs: From the Robin, for the light sleeper, to the Rooster, to the stubborn ones.

When you think you’ve heard enough, you can order other sound cards for the clock. Like Yard birds, Field and Meadow birds and even frogs!

laundry gadgets

It is my duty to report the following: I read in Gizmodo that a new washing machine was invented. It uses just one cup of water. hmmm… should i add a category called laundry?

not a day has passed when i saw the following in MoCo Loco:

laundry hamper

I quote: + This laundry hamper by Slava’saakyan comes with a handy lid that doubles as a wash-basin for pre-soaking or hand-washing garments. This space-saving option can also be used to store detergent or other laundry supplies.

Need to piss while at the Golf course? No problem! Piss directly into the golf club. (Link) via Neatorama

And what about me? I’ll just continue squating over the hole, like I always do.

Relaxing Friday morning

Friday, June 6th, 2008

James and I started the morning as usual at La Bonne Patisserie, the most excellent new cafe at Bazel Square. I didn’t order a Croissant, for a change, but instead took a Bruschetta. Having a Bruschetta at a French patisserie is like having a Croissant at an Italian Cafe. It’s not bad or anything, but it is far from the real deal. After that, I ordered a nice Chocolate Eclair, which, ofcourse, was very good. They can’t go wrong, in that place.

Near the Cafe, someone was handing out the new Kinley Lemon-Nana mint. It’s very refreshing!

I saw a few nice things in Boing Boing today.
