While the idea of an illuminated helmet is as common as brakes and pedals on a bike, not all lighted helmets are the same when it comes to safety. For instance, it’s a bit surprising but very few helmets have front lights to help oncoming vehicles see their riders. Some have reflectors that reflect light but do very little if a vehicle has a busted headlight or little visibility. Frontline visibility is just one of the problems the Lumos Ultra helmet aims to solve. By marketing itself as the new standard for bike helmets, it ticks out a lot of issues bike riders have when it comes to safety. Visibility…

For more than a decade, the guys at Input-Inc. have been attempting to create an army of working Johnny 5 robots (possibly also for their…

If there’s one plant you can grow in your workspace with very little sunlight, weekends without water, and the occasional sneer from a co-worker with an aversion to plant-life, it’s a succulent. There is, however, one thing it does need. Warm, moist, humid-erifically, moist air. I’m fascinated by large water feature fountain and atrium designs that incorporate humidifiers/misters/foggers. But, how do you match that look and feel on your own desk or countertop?
