Cool Hunting
You may remember the retro-chic Hulger PIP that we covered back in November 2005, and you might have also caught their fresh new Penelope Base over in Spear-land the other day, but what you haven't seen is the PIP Base, the latest Hulgarisation due to launch next week that's a CH exclusive. Cop a Bluetooth version or go wired—which simply means you'll either plug your mobile directly into the base or use the USB stick to attach it to your computer for Skyping. Either way, the new base is a slick update for the already stylish accessory. Sign up for their newsletter to be among the first to know when it's available. Also, look out for the new products as well as a collaboration with luxury leather goods maker Bill Amberg, at Futurelab's Designer's Block, In Production and at the Black & White shop (a project of Digital Wellbeing Labs happening during London's Design week).

From the designers whose Cableyoyo device helped make unruly cables a little more manageable, Cool Feet are a compact set of four peg-legs that help make laptops less hot, more ergonomic, and less prone to damage furniture. Attaching via a suction cup (non-iBooks require the included glossy, clear adhesive dots), the silver feet can be easily removed for transport or re-configuration. Three different set-ups—using...
These outlets have already made the rounds, but such an ingenious solution to a common annoyance deserves note here. The story goes like this: Some bright chaps in Salt Lake City invented a solution to the low functionality of most electrical outlets by creating a socket that can rotate a full 360-degrees, allowing us to use our electrical devices from 18 different angles.
