You may not be able to see in the photo, but the handle of the claw hammer serves as Mjolnir’s handle.  The kit is officially-licensed Marvel’s Avengers merchandise that was designed by and is exclusive to ThinkGeek.  The Marvel Thor Hammer Tool Set is $99.99.  No matter how worthy you are, you are limited to a maximum purchase of 5 kits.

Aalo is reinventing furniture literally one piece at a time

 

Buying new furniture is never fun and it’s usually full of compromises. Affordability usually equals both, reduced quality and boring designs. And custom furniture is out of reach for most of us. Aalo has designed Lego-like furniture that is simple, durable and customizable without the compromises. Interlocking and interchangeable parts allow you to choose from one of Aalo’s designs or make a design of your own. The furniture line consists of 12 pre-arranged kits. Kits include a side table, bookshelf, and coat rack to name a few. 

Furniture that’s re-purposable

Each piece of furniture is designed to be both adaptable and reusable. The interchangeable parts allow you to take an old piece of furniture and turn it into something new. Tired of your bookshelf? Break it down and turn it into a bike rack. Or turn a side table into a couple of plant stands. Each powder-coated aluminum piece is strong, weather-proof and snaps together with just an Allen wrench. For extra savings, you can send any unused parts back to Aalo for free. 

Aalo’s furniture kits are available in either black or white and prices start at $35. You can purchase components such as different length beams and different types of connectors. Prices for those start @ $1.50. For more on pricing and to purchase visit Aalo’s website.

Carry the moon in your pocket

You’ve seen those 3D-printed moon lamps, like the one The Gadgeteer featured last year.  Those lamps are available in various sizes and come with a wooden stand for display in your room.  Just like the bigger versions, the moon on this keychain is also 3D-printed to accurately represent the surface of Earth’s moon, and it’s sized to take along with you.

The moon is made of non-toxic, odorless, environmentally-friendly materials, so it’s safe enough for even children to use.  At 1.6″, it’s small enough for a keychain fob but large enough to use as a small nightlight on your nightstand.  Its LED is powered with three AG3 batteries.

The Mini 3D Moon Keychain is $18.00 at Brando.

Adaptalux shines the light at the end of the tunnel


Those of you that have been following my News Stories for a while should now be well aware of my love for Macro Photography. Macro Photography allows me to be innovative and expressive with “obvious” objects that are readily identifiable, as well as objects that I can shoot from my own creative perspective. If photographed correctly, some objects leave the assumption of what they are to the imagination of the viewer.

One great tool for adding interest and creativity to macro photography is light. Playing around with lighting and having the flexibility to do so, can accomplish great results. However, one of the challenges is getting lighting options with enough effective versatility and portability, since macro photography can be shot anywhere and under some difficult logistical circumstances.

Enter Adaptalux!! Adaptalux is a macro photography and videography light and light studio that allows you to use flexible lights to create the lighting effect according to your imagination. The manufacturer refers to it as an “adaptable miniature lighting studio that allows for an infinite amount of lighting environments to be created, in an effortless and adaptable way all under one product”. “Adaptalux has been designed to make macro photography, macro videography and product photography lighting easy and accessible to photographers of all ability. The only limit is your imagination”.

The Adaptalux seems like an amazing product and I can’t wait to get my hands on one to review and to add to my macro photography kit.

If you would like to purchase the light studio, head over to the Adaptalux website and pick one up. There are several kits available, with the starter pack costing just $260.29.
