The Black Reflector 3M jacket

November 4, 2009 @ 2:15 am

Wow, this might be the ultimate safety vest for cycling or walking around when it’s dark. Skateboard company, Manik, and Hugeblocks have teamed up to bring us the Black Refector (Nightrider), a jacket covered almost entirely in 3M reflective material. I love everything about this except for the insane $350 price point. What gives?!

Head on over to the Transformer Studio website to see the entire La Strada design concept.

BottleMate is perfect for bottle cap collectors

November 4, 2009 @ 12:34 am

An Australian company has developed a neat little tool called the BottleMate that easily pops the caps off of bottles while preserving their circular shape. Normally, if you have to open a bottle with a sealed cap, you end up bending it somehow with a bottle opener which really messes up the shape of the cap itself.

In any case, this is a pretty neat product I think and something that might make me start a personal collection of bottle caps just for fun. Thanks Dan for the heads up on this!
