  Every room needs that one piece that will ignite conversation, an art form that will spark inspiration, a uniquely designed piece that will bring the room together and what better way than with an innovative lamp? …

E-mails were genius back when they first began; the idea of easily sending words and attachments to another person anywhere in the world was astonishing. Today it has become a common First World Problem complaint that we all too often whine about having too full. With that said emails are still proven to be useful and have yet to be replaced by any other form of communication. …

Many theories believe that solar energy needs to be derived from a flat surface, “with the current theory estimated e that a square meter of sunlight has a maximum energy content of 1,000 watts. Based on this, a 20% efficient photovoltaic (PV) panel should produce 200 watts of energy from one square meter of sunlight.” …

It is amazing how our technology has advanced far to exclude ignorance that some may assume that others with impairments may not be able to enjoy certain apps on a mobile device that is geared towards those who can see, much like the photo-sharing social app, Instagram. …

There are many gadgets that are odd but having a brush that purposefully helps you add water to your hair when you are in a rush and do not have time to shower is pretty out there. I can totally relate to the “sleeping in” or the “I’m running late” days that the majority of the population has encountered throughout their lives. We are certainly busier now than ever, but a shower substitute? Is that perhaps taking things just a little too far? …

We sure love t-shirts even when it is cold and rainy outside, even underneath those winter jackets that we haul out after months of their hibernation. T-Shirts can be awesome when expressing our thoughts without having to say a word or in this case become a dual duty t-shirt. …

People naturally associate images better with words and are able to remember visually more so than without images, it is why brands have logo’s and profiles have avatars….

Some of us are prepping for the Holidays in the cold and snow, while others are preparing for a flight to a warmer destination. Not everyone enjoys the Holidays in sleet and snow; some much prefer beach and sand. Not to mention the ocean, that is usually a highlight of any hot spot vacation. Snorkeling and seeing the world beneath the water is breathtaking, you almost want to share every colorful fish with all your friends back home and now you can easily without intruding on your personal experience. …

The short answer – yes, a little. There are rarely moves made by one social company that make me believe they can really hurt another social company, but this one is different. Instagram’s relationship with Twitter has been one of love and hate since before anyone realized there was a growing tension between the social networking giant and Facebook’s mobile secret weapon. The fact that Twitter added filters to their photo apps will not strain the relationship any further; in essence, there is nothing really left to strain.

The plants fought back in The Happening. A mythical world under swimming pool threatened to destroy humanity in Lady in the Water. Now, “everything on this planet has evolved to kill humans” in the upcoming After Earth. After a skyrocketing career turned into a promising career, only to be replaced by a plummeting career followed by a joke of a career, Shyamalan takes his story off the planet, only to return right back to it in the future.
