One of the most dangerous things you do on a daily basis (besides drive your automobile) is fiddle with the power cords of home appliances. You never know when pulling that cord will result in a tear and a powerful shock that you’ll certainly remember. Good thing designer Kim Seung Woo has redesigned the standard power cord with a glow-in-the-dark ring. And no, this hole is not for fucking.

The ring makes finding the socket and unplugging the cords, day or night, an easier task than ever before. No more deadly volts coursing through your body, sir!

Here’s another way to clean up that cluttered mess of cords by your power outlet: outlet covers with deer antlers on them for holding gadgets while they charge. They can also be used like the ninja cord bunny and wrap up any loose wire laying around the floor. You could even go the extra mile and hang up your house keys.

If you’re feeling extra daring, you could also use the antlers as holders for your silverware. You’re just asking someone to get shocked, but think about the convenience of a fork on every socket in your household. It’d make eating ramen noodles a breeze anytime, anywhere!

Nixie clocks possess the subtlety of simplicity as well as a retro run-down look. The finished project looks fantastic but good luck trying to make it look like the picture.  If you aren’t interested in assembling electronics, then there’s nothing simple about this DIY.

For $150, you can have this 115-part set of tubes and socket pins sent to you disassembled.  You’ll also have to purchase an AC adapter to power the clock, as it is not provided for you. The kit comes with a detailed 20-page user instruction guide to help with the assembly. I’m sure it’ll impress your Grandmother.
