Here is something new from the designer(*) of the Nest thermostat. Meet the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. Burned the toast? Nest Protect won’t just start yelling at you. Before turning on a loud, howling alarm, Nest Protect gives you an early warning we call Heads-Up. Nest Protect lights up yellow and speaks with a human voice. It tells you where smoke is or when carbon monoxide levels are rising. This gives you an earlier warning if there’s an emergency, or allows you to silence Nest Protect if it’s just a nuisance alarm, like an overly enthusiastic toaster.
AND Silence alarms with a wave. No more frantically swinging towels at the smoke alarm to quiet it down. If there’s a nuisance alarm, just stand under Nest Protect and wave your arm to hush the alert. It does a lot more [ details ] Starting in November available for pre-order and will be available in 5,000 stores across the United States and Canada.

Here’s a gift I give year-round because of its design and safety features and now it’s green statement: The USB Light is compact, lightweight, weather resistant and surprisingly bright. It fits all bicycles and is quick and easy to attach to the handlebar or saddle pole with an elastic rubber band. Its large button on the upper side makes the light easy to turn on and off, even with gloves. Rechargeable batteries. But don’t limit to just putting these lights just on your fixie. They not only light you up at night, they help you find things when it’s dark. I put them on arms | legs | rollerblades | umbrellas | folding concert chairs | pets | kids.

back to front | sebastian bergne | 2007
These ‘Back to Front’ playing cards are a light hearted redesign of the classic bridge format deck. The face of the card has been pushed onto the normally patterned back, leaving the front blank. Players are so forced to use the cards back to front. Produced in 2007 in an edition of 500 packs: exclusively at [ buysebastianbergne ]
