Cool Idea: New Orleans Water Meter Doormat
Anyone who's ever lived in New Orleans recognizes the starry, art-deco design of the city's water meter lids. Designed by Edwin Ford in the early 1920s, the crescent moon and stars became so sought after that people actually used to pilfer them, so much so that for a time the city tried to replace them with plain ones to try to stop the theft. Nevertheless, the 85-year-old design has become an iconic symbol of the city — along with the fleur-de-lys, of course.

Space Invaders Doormat: Love It Or Leave It?
Is it just me or are Space Invaders attacking the geekosphere? Last month we found a Space Invaders necklace, bag, baby mobile, sweater and even a hand knit hat. I don't have a child and I'm not sure how I feel about wearing my geek status on my neck, chest or head, so I must admit I quite like the Space Invaders Doormat.
A Raccoon Burglar!
Dog doors are dangerous things. Even a house in the safest of neighborhoods cannot protect itself from a wild creature that wants to enjoy the comforts of the great indoors. Take this curious neighborhood raccoon, for example.
