Can’t Ride? Sit

Filed under: DIYs, Design, Internet

Supporting the Obama campaign can be tiring, unless you build your own stool out of the handlebars from your bike. Then of course, you’d ride your bike with no handlebars.

Spotted on Make, Flickr user Xnedski found this Obama supporter carrying bike handlebars. As you can see, this man carries his handlebar stool everywhere. It beats wearing a garbage bag for a seat.

RoboStool Is The Stalker You’ve Always Wanted

This robot may not be well versed enough in sports to partake in Robot Soccer, but it’s certainly lazy enough to be a sports fan. With three different modes of control: universal remote, beacon navigation, and thermal sensor following, the RoboStool tries its best to find you, so it can take the weight off your feet or die trying.

Labeled as furniture on demand, the RoboStool was created by Norris Labs, which was kind enough to post schematics to build your very own RoboStool.  You could have it eerily stalk your guests, unwilling to let anyone take a seat without having a comfortable footrest, but you’ll probably turn it into something that can make drinks, like a robot bartender.

Shit Box Is More Comfortable Than Your Average Toilet

Filed under: Design, Misc. Gadgets

No one uses outhouses anymore. However, a cardboard box that you take a shit in has many practical uses for would-be shitting toddlers and adults alike. This lightweight portable cardboard toilet was designed for outdoor use and pops up from a convenient 14-inch flat pack form. Each package includes ten bio-degradable (good for the environment) poo boxes which can be yours for around $30.

Ideal for camping, festivals and pretty much anywhere you need to take a shit. Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about The Brown Corporation (and their Shit Box) is their little poo mascot. His name is Little Jack and he claims that once you’ve taken a shit in this cardboard box, you’ll never want to use a normal toilet again. It’s that comfortable.

Umbrella Stool Provides Dry Comfort

Filed under: Design, Eco-tech

I don’t know why we’re so obsessed with umbrellas but I’m Gene Kelly would be proud. Take this Umbrella Stool. Going to an outdoor concert and skies are overcast? Check SimpleWeather (oh shit! a plug!) and grab your Umbrella stool. Not only will it keep your ass comfortable, it’ll also keep you dry in the event there’s a sudden downpour.

The bright red coloring might not fit everyone’s taste in style, so make sure you’re OK with that before plunking down your hard-earned $50.
