SMART STUFF #5, VOLUME 3. MAY 2007 |..1..2..3..4..5![]() Bicycle bag with lights. We get quite a load of e-mail every day. Surprisingly many come from businesses in China, Korea or Taiwan. Firms that must have harvested the internet for addresses to sites they think will have an interest in their products. Mostly the mails are about stuff we have already written about (that is probably how they found us) but the other day was an exception, and we learned about a product we had never heard of before. A bike bag with an integrated light. The red parts seems to be something we in lack of a better term will venture to call flat LEDs. Batteries are kept inside the bag, of course. We do not know if, and where, these bags may be available for purchase, but we like the idea enough to post it anyway. The factory that makes the lighted bike bags (and a lot of other stuff) is apparently the Mustang Industrial Corp. ![]() The original stash sandal. And a stash sneaker. At least that is what Matt Potts of Archport claims, and he does have a patent (US Patent 6,094,844) to back up his claim. Matt's e-mail was probably prompted by our previous post on the stash sandals. If Matt's company was indeed the first to incorporate a hidden pocket in shoes, it seems that someone liked the idea so much they decided to make their own version. And if that is not the ultimate praise, we don't know what is. And besides, Archport makes stash sneakers, too. The Archport sandals and sneakers are available in different colors (the sandals) from Archport or from Amazon at USD 42:45 (sandals 15 May 2007 ![]() Socket Pocket charging cradle for cell, PDA or iPod. We have stumbled upon a n number of ideas for a holder for a charging mobile, PDA or iPod lately. For example these charging cradles who both are supposed to be attached to the actual wall power outlet. Or the Mobil Pit that does the same thing, but takes up more space. Today's find looks to us to be a bit smarter still, since it lies flat to the wall. The Socket Pocket will replace the standard wall socket plate using the same screws. It is USD 15:- on Get Organized. [Via] 14 May 2007 ![]() Hopefully non-lethal prison pen. Prisoners, at least in the US, seems to have a tendency of killing each other off for different reasons. The power of imagination when it comes to designing improvised weapons seems to have no limits, which has led prison authorities and designers to try to create everyday objects and tools that can not be transformed into weapons. One example is the no-shank toothbrush we have mentioned earlier, and here is another; the bending pen. The pen is supposed to be impossible to make into a weapon, and it is USD 10:- on the Spycatcher webshop.
