Well, I am in look as I found this awesome DIY that shows you how to make a solar-powered roof-gutter e

If I thought anyone would attempt this (and they shouldn’t) I’d offer the following warnings: Ensure the metal parts are earthed (I did) Do not place it on heat-sensitive surfaces. Do not place heat-sensitive materials on top of it. Take care not to touch any hot surfa

Recycled Bike Chair!

Posted on February 10, 2009 by max

Check out this awesome recycled bike chair.  Now, this is what I call modern art that utilizes every source of renewable energy out there. Kudos!

The bike chair shown above is made using recycled chromed steel rims. It was recently featured on Forever Geek, which is where i happen to stumble upon the modern design (and eco) beauty. As you know re-purposed furniture and accessories is my fave type of green item. This one ranks right up there with the best of them.

Google Chrome is now Official!

Posted on December 11, 2008 by max

Yes, Google Chrome has been around and I have even made a blog dedicated to Chrome hacks, but Google Chrome is now going official.  I really sense that Chrome will start picking up even more users due to the fact that they did fix a lot of security bugs with enhancements from the community feedback.

Go Google!

One thing I highly admire of Google over Microsoft is that they went with open-source when they could’ve made gazillions more money with proprietary code.  Kudos to open-source, Linux

Posted on May 31, 2008 by max

Could this be the world’s largest subwoofer? I think not. I have seen plenty of subwoofer vans that can crank out more power than this guy but still, kudos for tryin’.

In addition to being the world’s largest subwoofer, the “MATTERHORN” just might be the most powerful as well — built by Danley Sound Labs.

Soft Values Portable Belt Speakers!

Posted on May 27, 2008 by max

Here’s an interesting concept belt speakers from Soft Values.  I don’t know why I’d use instead of a regular headphones but still, kudos for a great concept.

The Soft Values Portable Speaker sits in a small, ball-like form that encloses a soft, fabric sock and a strap. This sock will unfold out of the speaker and cover it up to give the Soft Values Portable Speaker a nice and soft feel. The strap obviously comes in handy to lug this little sound box around. Though we don’t have too many details about the speaker, a Bluetooth co
