Umbrella Holder Incorporated Into Our Car Design Makes A Lot Of Sense
We've had a lot of rain while tropical storm Andrea zips up the east coast of the United States. After getting in and out of my car a dozen times yesterday while trying to manage a wet, drippy umbrella, it made me think there must be a better way. Does it really make sense that we should have to rem ...
High Tech Picnic Table Umbrella Uses Sunshine To Charge Mobile Devices
I wrote an article yesterday about how we want our devices to work all the time with no exceptions. We have no patience when our smartphones run low on battery, and we'll do almost anything to keep that from happening. As a result, manufacturers try to create the most innovative mobile chargers so w ...
Umbrella Design Let’s You Text & Hold An Umbrella At The Same Time
I rarely ever carry an umbrella when it rains. Aside from the fact I can never find one when I need it, it's hard to carry. What I mean is that I'm always carrying other things with my hands like a Caramel Macchiato and my iPhone. With the way an umbrella requires us to hold it, it makes it challeng ...
Airblow 2050 Realizes The Concept Of An Invisible Umbrella
Our days of fighting the wind with our umbrellas might soon be over. We might actually be able to use that situation to our own advantage. You have to admit that you have at least on one occasion fought the wind with your umbrella. Sometimes it's tough to find the right direction to hold it in order ...
Hack Your Umbrella Stand So It Tells You The Weather Forecast
I always say you can tell a lot about how organized people are in their lives by whether or not they carry an umbrella on rainy days. It may sound like a no-brainer, but many of us don't do that. My umbrella is usually lost somewhere in the back of my car or in my garage, and I almost never have it ...
Vegetabrella: The Umbrella Inspired By A Head Of Lettuce
I've seen a lot of creative umbrella designs over the years, but I've never seen one that looks like a head of lettuce before. I'm a huge lettuce fan, so this is right up my alley. I like old fashioned iceberg lettuce, not that fancy mixed greens stuff. I could munch on it all day, and just looking ...
World’s First Mobile Phone Is From 1922
Yesterday was one of those days when I thought technology just couldn't get any more awesome. I didn't think that because I saw something new, edgy or even groundbreaking. No, it was as retro as it gets actually. I got into a conversation with an older gentleman about what smartphones are really all ...
Umbrella Coat: An Incorporated Umbrella In Your Raincoat
Don't you hate it when you start your day with a smile because the weather is somewhat nice only to have it turn into a pouring bucket of rain a couple hours later? Those are the days when you never brought your umbrella with you, which of course means you will be soaking wet before you reach the in ...
How To: Turn Rain Puddles Into Duck Ponds
Most people don't like rainy days. I really like them, but I'm kinda strange like that. I love how rain smells, and how it feels. Have you ever noticed that when you stand outside immediately after a rainstorm, it is quieter than usual? When was the last time you shared an umbrella with a stranger? ...
The Umbrella That’s A Walking Piece Of Beautiful Art
Do you carry an umbrella with you during the day? I keep one in my car, but unless it's pouring, I usually just make a run for it. Then, of course, I regret that decision because by the time I get in the house or building I was running into, I'm soaking wet. It's not that I don't like umbrellas; ...
Rain Soaked Umbrellas Are No Longer A Problem!
It is now rainy season where I live. From June to September it rains almost everyday. The best defense for rainy weather is, of course, our trusty umbrellas. The only thing that is a hassle is when you need to store them after you get inside. If we do not have a holder available, we tend to leav ...
Interactive Shirts – The New Trend
As you all know by now, I am a t-shirt guy. I mean, really. I save them like they were the most precious thing in the world. I sometimes get t-shirts given to me by companies from around the world because of the kind of work I do (producing, writing songs, blogging, etc...). Sometimes they pile ...
The Umbrella Wheelie – Puts A Smile On Your Face!
There are plenty of ways to put a smile on your face during the day, but I am sure you've never seen it done this way before. As a matter of fact, neither have I. When first saw this, it brought a big smile to my face. It wasn't so much the umbrella itself but the whole concept of it. The design ...
Umbrella Cup Holder: Practical Or Hazardous?
I have seen many nifty and genius concept solutions during the past year on Bit Rebels and 80% have actually been quite interesting and useful. However, every now and then, there is a design that I don't really get or that just seems a little weird or even hazardous. We all know handling steaming ...
This Umbrella Sings In The Rain – Musical Raindrops
It's time to take "Singing In The Rain" to a whole new level! This umbrella, called a Rain Drum, makes music out of raindrops. It actually becomes a musical instrument. Raindrops never sounded so beautiful. How cute is this?
I love rain, and this umbrella is just going to make the whole exper ...
