Pointless But Pretty, Hand-Blown Light Bulbs

Sculptor, Dylan Kehde Roelofs, is rebelling against the cold light of CFC bulbs with a new line of hand-blown light bulbs that are more interesting to look at than functional to use.


Each bulb, which ranges in price from $195 to $1295 and lasts for 25,000 hours, is a unique glass sculpture. At wattages of 12-24, these bulbs are really just big night lights but the filaments can be replaced when they burn out so they will last a long time.

Clever: Puma Glow Rider Bike

This glow-in-the-dark bike seems like such an obvious idea that I can’t believe it has never been done before.


The bike, when released this Spring, will be part of Puma’s Urban Mobility line, which are athletic products and programs geared toward city slickers. The Glow Rider’s steel frame is coated in glowing paint that charges during the day and glows when the sun goes down. The bike has also been designed to partially fold – making it easier for apartment dwellers in walk-ups – and includes an innovative, built-in lock system for locking outdoors. No word yet on the price but rumors have it starting at over $1600.

Guest Blogger: CC, Just Say No to naked walls

Speaking of wall colors-I miss the paint I labored over picking in my house I just moved out of. All that time looking at paint chips and buying test samples! I’m a big fan of Sherwin Williams colors, especially neutrals like Crushed Ice (pictured in my living room), Mannered Gold and Navajo White.
