When you’re feeling the need to cook up something, especially if you’ve never cooked it before, you’re likely going to need a timer.  Now, the odds of only having to time one item are fairly slim.  Actually you might need to time several things.  That is unless you have the scheme set up and down to an art.  However, trying to create something new, you’re unfamiliar with it and likely will want to make sure it’s timed correctly.  Well this cute little timer has been designed with the idea that we do indeed cook more than one thing at once.

Here’s a little trivia - bamboo is a type of grass and not a tree, and it is one of the fastest growing grass in the world when it works at it. Hence, the Vers 2x Bamboo Sound System that is made from the highly sustainable, renewable material that augments whatever audio which comes out through it. The Vers 2X is designed with a more sustainable mind-set, with wood selected from managed plantation sources, 100% post-consumer recycled packaging materials and energy-efficient components. The Vers hand-crafted wood ipod sound system brand was founded in 2007. The company’s first product, the Vers 2X, is offered in four hand-crafted wood finishes (Bamboo, Walnut and Dark Walnut available late October) and is distributed internationally in thirteen countries.

Photo credit:William Mercer McLeod By Karsten Lemm On a day in late August, 1998, two Stanford Phd. students managed to make $100,000 with a few mouse clicks by showing their new search technology to Cisco co-founder Andy von Bechtolsheim. The seasoned Silicon Valley executive was so taken with what he saw that he dashed to his Porsche, pulled his check book from the glove compartment and wrote check number 4642 in the name of a company that did not yet exist: Google, Inc. The two students, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, officially founded their start-up on September 7, 1998. Ten years later, the little search engine that could has become one of the most prominent players on the Internet, dominating its industry like few other companies anywhere.

Recharge your cellphone, ipod, iphone and camera with this USB solar powered bonsai tree by French designer Vivien Muller. Thanks to 54 tiny photovoltaic panels, the iBonsai (we just made that name up) will store energy in a hidden battery during the day, allowing you to recharge your gadgets even at night. Hate wire clutter? Who doesn’t. The bonsai charging tree cleverly hides all wires and plugs under the tray. Need to slim down the tree’s berth so you can fit it on your desk? No problem. You can rotate each part individually and produce an endless number of different shapes. It’s like metal adult LEGOS. The iBonsai Tree is decorative, good for the environment and sexy.

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 7th 2008 at 7:37AM Really people, enough is enough. Death threats? Seriously? According to a fresh report from the Telegraph, gurus working on the mysterious Large Hadron Collider are receiving all sorts of strange messages, e-mails and faxes as the go-live date (this Wednesday, supposedly) draws ever closer. For those curious about why some folks are up in arms over this thing, we’ll simply point you to this very informational rap video; for those opposed to nerdy hip-hop, let’s just say its primary goal is to “seek out new particles including the long-awaited Higgs boson responsible for making things weigh what they do and the possible source of gravity called dark matter.” Somehow or another, the paranoid among us think that carrying out those tasks will rip the world wide open or leave you stuck in 1990 with nothing in your CD player but Ice Ice Baby.
