Have any eggshells laying around ? How bout you make a head cover for your toothbrush ? Just simply drain out the egg from a hole at the bottom, clean it properly and use it as a cap...... ; ) (Image courtesy : Mansi Wankhede)
I came across this device recently.A young Indian techie has invented a ring-type device, that can turn your palm into a gesture interface to control multiple devices, including mobile phones, television, music system, gaming console to name a few. The smart ring called ”Fin” promises to be the next revolution in wearable technology. ”Fin” is the first hardware product developed by Kochi-based robotics start-up, headed by 23-year-old Rohildev.
Have you been there where after a party or an event, your
left with a bunch of used plastic cups and have no other solution other than to
throw them out ? Here is a creative solution. Cup Lights!
According to the size you want, staple cups together to make
a rows of rings. Burn the rear end of the cup small enough to let a small
series light get through. Get the lights inside and later staple all the layers
together.
Umami, a savory taste is one of the five basic tastes
(together with sweet, sour, bitter and salty).Its existence was proposed by the
Japanese since 1908 and in 1985, it was recognised as a scientific term.
It can be described as a pleasant brothy or meaty taste with
a long lasting mouth-watering and coating sensation over the tongue.
(Don’t seem to remember my high school teacher telling me this….)
Another interesting way of using plastic bottles is using
them as planters. It’s pretty simple too. All you need is a plastic water
bottle (The curvy soft drink ones won’t do), some yarn (dirt cheap), a cutter
and some glue.
It was created by Houston based art trio Kate Petley, Dan Harvel and Dean Ruck. They decided to make the most of a doomed dwelling by transforming it into a memorable installation called "The Tunnel" or "Hole" House. Local spectators were able to experience their own personal Outer-space /Alice in wonderland fantasy.Sadly the whole thing was leveled in 2005. But wouldn't it have been cool to say " I live adjacent to the House with the black hole." ;)
Instead of throwing away your toothbrush, this month why
not paint with it? (After a thorough cleaning of course). Use it along with
your other paint brushes and watch yourself create something new. =) (art credits : salman khan)
Couple of my seniors at CEPT University, Ahmedabad started a
small front in selling creatively customized notebooks. You express what you
would like and they design the notebook for you.
When do you think the concept of high-rise
buildings came to be?
In Shibam, the 16thcentury city in Yemen consisted
entirely of over 500 high-rise tower houses. It was built with mud brick and
rose approx. to about 11 stories high. Why? Mainly defense . It was to
protect themselves from the recurring Bedouin attacks at that time.
Bamboo is an amazing natural resource to have due to its numerous
advantages. The species we had the chance to work with was guadua - used as ‘Vegetable-Steel’ (Since it holds the tensile
strength of 10mm steel bar).
Since bamboo sap is sweet, it is susceptible to to ants,
insects and fungi. So we came up with better ways to reuse it.
