Putting it straight enough for you, Wind Up Socket has a timer to it, once you set the duration and time's up, the electricity supply to that socket gets cut off. For grownups who don't have many restrictions and can self regulate, this one may seem more cumbersome than anything else. But for moms with teens who don't comprehend "half hour of TV / Videogames time"; this is booty! I'd only be careful of placing the cords of various gadgets carefully, otherwise its set!

Mozart Of Lights

So you can't be a conductor of any musical symphony nor do you have any creativity in painting and art. Tough luck, but what if I gave you this magical wand, that allowed you to transform your ceiling into a magical landscape of color LEDs, that brighten up and dim at the flick of your wrist, wouldn't you be the Mozart of lights? Draw The Lights makes you a capable light conductor! What I mean is that clusters of LEDs take command from this "light brush" in your hand, and sparkle to create mesmerizing ambient settings. If creativity gets the better of you, how about creating artwork with the lights? Fancy!

Popescu Lucian has left me speechless with his explanation for the Pandur Concept Vehicle! It's for times like this when designers don't delve technical details, I wonder if they held back because of copyright issues like Brian discussed earlier? I understand how frustrating it can be when someone else steals your ideas and makes a quick buck! To give him benefit of doubt & for poetic justice, hit the jump to see Popescu's reason for the Pandur Concept Vehicle.

After a bad week at the office, your boss is telling you he’s gonna fire you, your wife spends all your money at the mall, and your son is getting bad grades on his behavior… Apart from a joint, Pandur can put you back on your feet. Take your tent, your camera, a couple of beers and take out the Pandur accumulator because the mountains are waiting.
