We were sniffing around some of our favorite design sites, and came across this amazing concept clock! Now on our list of concepts we really hope come to fruition (like the Polaroid digital frame), th...

We know it can difficult to find a CFL that's right for you. They can flicker, they can't be bright enough... we've heard (and experienced!) all the stories. So, when we found this roundup of the be...
The area next to our kitchen sink has always been a source of disdain for us. The reason for our ill feelings? The dreaded dish rack. If it's pretty it doesn't work well (counters getting soaked, mild...

The first time we donned a headlamp was during a camping trip. A kind co-worker gave us a Petzl for a gift and we thanked them and thought, "headlamp=total dork". And then we found out how important...
