What’s In A Bag?
Ever wonder what other gadgeteers are carrying around inside their laptop bags? Surely a computer of some sort and a phone, but what about all that other junk bulging at the seams? Core77 has a great Flickr roundup of photos that showcase the inside of people’s bags. Among some of the items included, we found a joystick, SD cards, books, DAPs, iPhones, keyboards, headphones, stickers, pens and so much more.
What’s in your laptop bag? I tend to keep it light and usually only carry my laptop, books, chargers and iPod. Sometimes I like to bring my Nikon D40 DSLR with me as well.
The Last HOPE: Electronic Graveyard
Found on the second floor of the Hotel Pennsylvania. A group of hackers were selling old phone equipment and patronizing me for taking pictures. I’d rather be a photographer than a group of fat fucks selling old junk!
Clean Chair For A Clean Apartment
We’re running out of places to ditch our old garbage. Recycling bins are out of the question because, as we all know, all trash whether it be recyclable or otherwise all goes to the same place: New Jersey.
California College of Arts student Nick Demarco has created a vinyl chair out of plastic bottles and other miscellaneous garbage he found lying around. It is said to be surprisingly more comfortable than your average office chair. The planned production models are said to be made of a recycled plastic mesh, and fully customizable depending on what junk you throw in it. He sure loves his Vitamin Water. (more…)
Fractal Furniture Divides Your Junk Into Smaller Parts
Most people have some sort of junk drawer in their home where they throw all sorts of random shit that has no home anywhere else. Rummaging through a junk drawer is typically a damn good time to kill an hour or so, especially when it’s someone else’s. After all, you never know what the hell you’re going to find (and possibly horde for yourself.)
The Fractal Furniture is a cubed multi-drawer contraption which allows you to separate your crap into 23 individual nooks rather than one massive stock pile. Perhaps you could divvy up your junk drawer by category; one drawer for spare change, one for stationary, etc., so on and so forth. At least you can add some sort of organization to the mayhem.

You Might Be A Redneck If Your Front Yard Resembles Earth’s Outer Limits
And to think that humans have only been in space for half a century. The European Space Agency has released images showing all of the junk we have orbiting the planet. Space litter, if you will.
Circulating the globe right now is about 6,000 satellites, only of which 800 are still operational, not to mention tons of other crap left from previous launches, and probably a bag of doritos or two. According to the ESA, all of the space crap floating around is not a good thing as space clutter could put spacecraft at risk, and something should be done. Which reminds me, if you find my wallet up there, just mail it over. — Andrew Dobrow
