Because my laptop was starting to overheat like an overworked car in the middle of the Sahara, I caved in and bought an elevated laptop cooling thing with dual fans from a bazaar at the forum. And get this, it's in clear perspex plastic (i like) with a totally ah-beng looking neon blue light which starts to illuminate the minute you plug it in! I feel half-ashamed about the entire thing, but at the same time, you must understand there wasn't much choice to begin with. And it was cheap.
On to the week's lemming-
This is the Sun Jar. Designed by Tobias Wong (I suppose the name might ring the right bell for design aficionados), the Sun Jar is quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen all week. In a nutshell, it captures sunlight. You leave it out in the sun during the day (a windowsill apparently, would suffice) and it starts glowing after sundown. I'm thinking this would be absolutely perfect as an eco-friendly night-light. Or to create one of those romantic "lets-pretend-we're-outdoors-camping" sort of atmospheres.
I'm crossing my fingers real hard that Ikea will come up with an el-cheapo version of this. Or maybe I can persuade my dad to undertake this DIY project. We'll see.
