Energy Saving Adapters

8 07 2007

The Energy Saving Adapters by Gilles Belley not only look good but have some smarts behind them too. Each module corresponds to a device and monitors the power consumption independently. Most electrical devices have a standby mode to save energy but even then, about 10% of today’s electrical costs come from appliances wasting energy in that mode. The Energy Saving Adapters can detect this and display symbolic symbols notifying the owner of wasted energy. If someone doesn’t respond within 3 minutes, it automatically turns off said device.





A nutcracker that really works

I find nutcrackers to be among those utensils that more often than not suffer from a cool, yet not really successful design.

How to Backup Cell Phone Contacts

12 06 2007


My main worry about losing my phone has not much to do with the physical phone itself - but rather the fear of losing my long list of contacts which I have built up over the years.

Zyb is a free international service which allows you to backup and/or sync your phone’s contacts and calendar to their site. After giving it a whirl, I would have to say this is by far the most elegant and smooth backup I have ever done with my phone.
