Paperweights Make You Seem Very Busy And Important

By Evan Ackerman

Okay, okay, we get it. It’s a paperweight that looks like a piece of crumpled paper. It’s witty, it’s ironic, but is it useful? Here is what I suggest: buy a bunch of these paperweights, leave them strewn about your desk, and whenever anyone approaches you with some new task, glare at them angrily from behind your sturdy fortress of faux crumpled paper. If they don’t leave you alone because they think you’re massively busy, they’ll leave you alone because they think you’re massively nuts. And if all else fails, there’s always long range bombardment… Despite their substantial weight, the paperweights are made largely of vinyl and have no hard edges. $28 each.

Mini Inflatable Catamaran Fits in to Your Bag!

inflatable-boat_12
Remember, a few months back, we told you about Origami Boat which folds after use. Well, that is still a concept but we have another awesome Mini inflatable Catamaran that actually fits into a bag and can be carried anywhere with you! The ultra-lightweight folding dinghy weighs only 40kg and can support weight of up to 240kg. The catamaran frame is made from fibreglass parts and lightweight aluminium rods and is fit for use in lakes, rivers or sea. The boat features a main sail of 3.25 sqm and its rudder is designed to be raised to a 90 degree angle so it can be raised and lowered when in and out of shore. The boat takes about half an hour to set-up and then you are ready to hit the waves with panache! The super portable MiniCat Catamaran sells for $4,500.
