Join The Kitchen Composter
Are you an over shopper? No matter how many times you go to the grocery store you always wind up buying too much food. This surplus of extra food eventually expires and is quickly introduced to the trash can. But why? Why do we waste so much food when we can use it for creating something usable?
The Kitchen Composter takes all of your leftover or rotting food and composites fully-usable fertilizer within two weeks using only 10 watts of power. The extra fertilizer not only saves you money from your local garden product dealer, but would be awesome to use on your home garden, growing your own family some fresh veggies.

Magellan Travel Scale
Weight loss isn’t exactly one of my major priorities. It’s not that I couldn’t spare a few pounds (or a lot of few pounds, even), it’s just that with so much going on in my life right now, it seems like a I can’t find a spare second to sleep, let alone weigh myself and monitor food intake. Does this sort of mentality remind you of anyone?
Health and physical well-being are on an upswing compared to the indulgence of the late-90s and early millennium years. People are starting to get back into their peak condition for health reasons, rather than sex appeal, even though that’s always a plus. But how can you work such a time-swallowing event into your traveling? The Magellan Travel Scale is the key.

Freehand Wrist Storage For People With No Pockets
How much pocket space is too much pocket space? I’d say that when you reach the point that you’re filling the pocket of your standard jeans and are fully ready to make the fashionable pounce over to MC Hammer jump pants for that extra storage room.
There’s no need to suffer for fashion. Or have your fashion suffer for you. If you’re just too much of a manly man to grab a messenger bag and throw all of your junk in there, just because of it’s similarity to a purse, then you’re going to need a new method of on-the-go storage. Meet the Freehand.

The Alarm Clock Blanket
It’s a fact. Some people are just not meant to be awake in the early hours of the morning. We’re not exactly sure if this has been proven by science yet, but our own morning troubles are enough to prove to us that some of us are just not early birds.
Even if we aren’t early birds there are certain times when we have to get our butts out of bed to get the worm. It has already been a struggle for many people to find an alarm clock which actually alerts them in the early morning. If you’ve read CG for a while, you are already clear of the numerous attempts companies have made at production. The REMY Alarm Clock Blanket merges our love for warm, dark, and dry places with productivity.

Ninja Tacks Put Your Boss In Their Place
Has your boss been walking all over you ever since you were hired to your current job? Some office managerial figures are on a real power trip, strutting their all-knowing knowledge to all of their powerless underlings. Would your boss treat you that way if he thought you were a ninja?
Psh, hell no he wouldn’t. His prized khaki pants and the legs within them would be quaking with fear that you might one day mysteriously appear out of an abandoned alley and go all kung-fu on his booty. Even if you don’t have ninja skills, these excellent Ninja Tacks can send the message.

Video Passports
Passports have become a major piece of identification for obtaining many other important documents. You can even use a passport to help get you a drivers license. The problem is that passports have become increasingly easy to forge with the improving technology.
In an attempt to halt passport forgery in its tracks, Samsung SDI and Germany’s Bundesdruckerei have been working on the development of a passport with a bendable OLED colored display on a special polycarbonate data page which can be used to display a variety of content, including video.

Giant Fabric Keyboard
Computer peripherals continue to get smaller and smaller. These days, the mouse would be better apt called the mouse embryo. And it doesn’t stop there. Keyboards are becoming more compact as well. Eventually, we might have to start fearing for those among us who have larger hands.
The Giant Fabric Keyboard seems like a perfect protest for the evolution of shrinking peripherals. This keyboard is living large, and it’s not afraid to strut its stuff. Flickr user Maurin has a great new set of photos up which shows how the Giant Fabric Keyboard was created.
