SMART STUFF | OUR IDEA There is way too much junk out there. We started this page because we had come to the conclusion that way too many products in our stores are pure junk. We want to help encourage and inspire inventing and design, inventors and designers. We believe that better ideas and smarter design will help make a better world for everyone, both ecologically and economically. Smart stuff can be pretty much anything. It could be a book, a gadget, a computer application, a video, a map, a fabric or other material, a fluid or a method to remove stains. It could be large or tiny, cheap or expensive complicated or rudimentary, as long as it does one important thing: The job must be done, and done well. Smart stuff are things and ideas that do the job they are supposed to do well and without fuss. What we want to present on these pages are inventions, innovations and smart ideas that really solve common everyday or professional problems and make jobs and tasks easier or safer. Do you want to contribute smart stuff? Contributions can be stuff you use, or products that are in common use in your community. Chances are, someone across the world have never heard of it before. We will of course also consider stuff that you have invented yourself, as long as you are honest about it. Send us a picture and a short description, or a link that tells the same story. Don't forget to tell us why you like it. The stuff we like will end up as posts on these pages. The stuff we don't like will not. There is no appeal, but the stuff that gets published will be credited to you and will receive a link to the original web site. Click here to contribute. Do you want your product tested or reviewed? If you are an inventor, designer or manufacturer of a product you are welcome to submit examples of the product for our review. Don't be inpatient if the review does not show up right away; we do need time to put the product through its paces. Before you decide to submit anything, however, please read the basic ground rules below. By sending a product to us for rewview, we assume you have read, understood and agreed to the simple rules below: 1. We don't have to write about your product. The editors have last say in what is published. 2. By accepting the product we have not agreed to write about it. 3. We don't return submitted products. 4. We don't have to write a positive review of your product. 5. We reserve the right to inform our readers which products are submitted, and who submitted them. Click here to contribute. Are you an inventor or designer? We will try to feature longer stories or interviews with inventors and designers who have produced smart stuff. These stories will appear if and when we find the time to research them and perform the interviews. If you know someone who would deserve such a write-up please let us know. You may also nominate yourself if you wish. Click here to nominate yourself or someone else. Would you consider supporting Smart Stuff?
