Sustainably Freshen Your Air with Sheep Poo
Sustainably Freshen Your Air with Sheep Poo
Yes, that is right, these Poo-Pouri air fresheners are made from sheep poop yet they will delight your nose with the scent of daffodils and fresh cut grass. No need to fret though, they thoroughly sterilize it by relentlessly washing and boiling it until on about 50% (the undigested cellulose) remains. Then through a labor of love they beat it to a pulp, paper making pulp that is. They then turn into paper using traditional paper making techniques which are then fragranced. The process of turning the sheep waste into wonderful does create some waste of its own, which the poop upcycling earth loving geniuses use as nutrient rich fertilizer.

Cord Control Solution
Cord Control Solution
The table allows for space to install the cables and cords out of sight, allowing the cable clutter to live there and leaving his workspace clear. It reminds of this pegboard hack, which could allow you to attach the wires without compromising the table itself. Although, we prefer the flexibility of blupic's version, he's even got a Mac Mini hiding up there under the table.

Lightbulb "green"house
Lightbulb "green"house
The incandescent light bulb is the ultimate symbol of wasted energy. Since I don't use them anymore I wanted to transform them into something green instead of throwing them away.
This project was inspired by an ad I saw in the June 08 edition of Popular Science.
Light Bulb Bud Vase
Light Bulb Bud Vase
The fact that it's a light bulb aside, we love the idea of using coarse sand at the bottom of a clear bud vase for both visual effect and stabilizing thin stems. The little tin foil cup at the bottom appears to be keeping the round base upright.

Hotman trivet
Take your frustrations in the kitchen out on this trivet shaped like a man holding up your hot pot while lying on his back. For me, it's a little painful to look at - but it may make a good gift for the person in your life who's just slightly sadistic.

Puzzle alarm clock demands more than mere wakefulness
Puzzle alarm clock demands more than mere wakefulness
Puzzle alarm clock: the simple, profoundly irritating idea at its heart is easy enough to guess, but why, then, is the puzzle itself so simple? It's a toddler's learning toy, a matter of bashing three shapes into the corresponding holes. Perhaps the idea is to force you to retrieve them from the other side of the room first—but then why not merely place the alarm clock itself out of arm's reach?
