Earlier this month I’ve presented the Vitamin I.V. Plant Pot an interesting and good looking self watering plant pot. Today I’ve discovered something more extreme, a very geeky and sophisticated plant pot named Pet Plant and designed by Junyi Heo. This plant pot is for those of you who are so busy that they might need a reminder to keep their plants alive. In a few words this concept plants pot shows us how the plants truly feel. The very sleek looking pot measures soil conditions, temperature, humidity, and water calculates those variables based on the need of said plant, and expresses its condition via a series of pictograms on an LCD display. The plant pot will be able to download via an USB interface from a computer all the information about a rose, herb, …whatever, and tell you exactly what the plant needs. Finally the design looks cute, but if every single thing from our house will be depended on electricity our planet, and budget will have to suffer a lot. - Via

Technology in these days changes everything, even faster that we can imagine. For example a new amazing technology has the potential to turn just about any surface, including your walls, into a speaker. Johns Hopkins materials scientist Michaely Yu and his team have made a rubbery plastic-based material that could help place piezoelectric devices in previously impractical areas, including your walls. Personally I can’t even imagine how this technology can work, but for those of you who want to know more about this new technology you can take a look at the patent application of this new technology. - Via 1, 2

I love the power that technology offer us in these days. For example take a look at this wireless floating pool speaker. If you have a pool and you want to listen to music while you get wet and relax you can take a look at this interesting idea … a water-resistant floating speaker brings your playlist right next to you in the water. I never thought at something like this, but I’m glad that other people figured out how to make this idea possible. The new Wireless Floating Pool Speaker transmits music directly from the iPod to the pool speaker. The speakers include a 3.5mm AUX cable with an AC adapter and are compatible with all iPod models. The powerful 915MHz system comes in the form of two speakers with full rage sound so that you can relax and enjoy right in the middle of the pool. The speaker can be purchased from here for $129.95.

A curtain is a piece of cloth intended to block or obscure light, for instance at night to aid sleeping, or to stop light from escaping outside the building (stopping people outside from being able to see inside, often for privacy reasons). Florian Kräutli a design student at Eindhoven had a very clever idea when he made the Magnetic Curtain, a curtain which you can shape to any form”, magnets embedded in the curtain fabric allow the user to shape the curtain innumerable ways, both open and closed. Embedding hundreds of evenly dispersed tiny magnets into a grid of prefab folds allows for the easy manipulation of the silhouette or strategically modifying exposure for light and/or privacy. - Via - Yankodesign & Moco Loco
