High-Tech EasyBloom Helps Your Geeky Garden Grow
Remember how I was saying that I couldn't seem to keep plants alive? I'm ashamed to admit it, but I just found out it may not just be my negligence after all! It might be that I'm picking the wrong plants for the environment they would be growing in.
Grobal Self-Watering Pots Try to Save Innocent Lives
I avowed to use technology last week to help me keep plants alive — a daunting feat if you know me — but Botanicalls, though impressive and aggressively geeky, is just a little too involved for me. Enter Grobal pots, which, though low tech, are exactly the kind of gadget I need.
Grobal's sophisticated reservoir knows when the plant needs water and nutrients and gives it up, unlike, well, me.
How to Not Kill Your Plants (with Technology)
Since I like to be kind to plants, I have a general policy of not owning them. Unless they are cut flowers or plants I will be ingesting later that evening, the only way I "take care" of plants is the way the mafia "takes care" of their enemies.
But since I'm trying to fight my black thumb, I'm going to give plant care and feeding another shot, and I'll do it with the help of Botanicalls.
Finally, My Plants Can Tell Me What They Need Before I Kill Them
It's a known fact that I spend more time online than almost anything else (other than sleeping I suppose), so it's only natural that my feeble attempts at keeping houseplants alive rarely succeed, and they die within a month. The only plant I've been able to keep alive for longer is my iGrobot, and that's because it sits on my desk at work, reminding me to water it! Sad, right?

Office Space: Take a Deep Breath With the Breathing Partition
At times, I feel the need to take my laptop and head down to the park to work in the grass. You know, be a little closer to nature in this high-tech world. But with deadlines looming, I can't always make the trek and leave without a power source.
Solar Forest Juices Your Car, Looks Cool in the Process
If I had an electric car, this is where I'd want to charge it up. Better than hooking up to a charger that gets its energy from a power plant, charging up at this solar forest lets you save a (real) plant or two. A concept design brought to you by Neville Mars, the solar forest would find a home at your nearest urban concrete parking structure (taking up the entire top open-air level, perhaps?), would create its own energy from the sun, and would shade your car while it's juicing up.
