My dog took one look at this thing and very frankly told me, “There is absolutely no fricken’ way I’m wearing that thing,” except she didn’t exactly use the word fricken’. And in a way, I don’t blame her. She’s told me before that, much like me, she see’s anything more than Yoda Costumes as crossing the line. I respect that. But she also needs to take my needs into consideration. She doesn’t realize that the smell of wet dog... Continue reading

I don’t live in a particularly flood susceptible area. But believe it or not, Jersey has its share of flood zones. I’ve never been in flood waters that went above the soles of my shoes, but from what I hear, it can’t be a fun experience. One thing I know for sure about precipitation levels is that meteorologists cannot be trusted. Instead of relying on The Weather Channel to fraudulently list the water or snow levels, wearing the Rain Boots... Continue reading

After spending so much cash on x-rays, they usually wind up in some abandoned file, strewn in a closet or junk drawer. Take advantage of your old lady osteoporosis bones and at least use them for something. It might not be the most polite umbrella, but it’s something. Hope you have good medical insurance! You’ll need it to save up for this bad boy.

Rainy days usually mean crashing into other people brandishing massive umbrellas, large enough to fit an entire obese family under, yet being used by only one person. These collisions usually cause droplets of water to fall everywhere, often splashing onto your clothes and skin. Kind of defeats the purpose. The Polite Umbrella accounts for other people’s ostentatious overly large umbrellas. Pull the yank string and your umbrella temporarily collapses around you, allowing you to squeeze past others.

He calls his creation “Bloom” and I think it’s quite an appropriate title for a guy who shoved what looks like 50 umbrellas into a tree. It’s kind of beautiful but also a little on the weird side. Know what I mean? It just doesn’t feel….complete? Link [via]

I can see how drinking rain water would be a life saver when you’re out in the middle of nowhere and your options are limited. On the other hand, drinking rain water that’s collected from your gutter doesn’t sound too refreshing. That’s what Rain Drops, the cheap rainwater harvesting system, proposes. It’s essentially a series of two liter cola bottles connected to your gutters. Which means, all of that fine bacteria that not only pollutes the skies but also builds... Continue reading
