How many times have you deleted something only to need it later. All the recovery software in the world might not bring it back and so we need a better solution. The Tempo hard drive looks like a recycling bin because that’s exactly what it is. Anytime you delete files from your computer, those files actually move to the Tempo. When the green ring lights up, it’s time to check and make sure you REALLY want these files gone FOREVER.

Dull the monotony of taking daily pills by jazzing up your pill box. The Chocolate Pill Box has a “chunk” to store each day’s worth of meds. There’s an extra box that hides a pill cutting mechanism too. Now at least you can pretend you’re taking savory chocolate instead of nasty bitter pills.

This cordless hanger phone enables new ways and new spaces to place your phone when not in use. “Hanging up” your phone takes on a whole new meaning as phone calls are ended by simply the hanging action. Letting it stand on a table also turns it off. Comes with an induction charger and transmitter in the form of a hook. It looks a little uncomfortable to hold and I assume it’ll using some sort of motion sensing technology ala iPhone.

Imagine a yoga mat you unfurl from a metal tube that’s actually a stereo. It can take in memory cards or play content off an MP3 player. The real tech candy here is the mat which is made of an electronic paper screen. The idea is you can attend yoga classes from anywhere since streaming video plays right on the mat.

This is kind of interesting – a bar stool with a tray filled with stones heated by a pillar candle underneath. Keep your drink, gloves or even hands warm by grabbing a stone. And if you’re really cold and wanna chance it, put your arse on it. I heard heat in those areas can be quite soothing. I swear that was hear-say. I don’t know from personal experience. Tee-hee.

I still sleep with a nightlight, if you consider the soft pulsing glow of my Mac’s power button a light but since we’re supposed to be living in a era of “green”, we need to find a nightlight that only works while we’re awake. Let’s face, it doesn’t do a thing for us while we’re fast asleep. I’m sure there are timed nightlights out there but how about something with a little more decorum?

The Live Book is a small planter wearing sheep’s clothing – that is to say a book. It’s a great way to jazz up that old book shelf and lets face it. Most of us rarely read our collection of books more than once. If anything, it becomes a display piece and so why not add a little green to it. The removable vase has a simple drainage system and actually opens up into a real book.
Designer: Soo-Yeon Yang

Further series of tests were carried out to determine the optimal spread of the three legs.
