Tio Light Switch teaches kids about energy conservation
November 16th, 2009 admin
Kids are notorious for leaving lights on. They don’t have the burden of knowing how high that energy bill really is when they constantly leave the lights on within rooms they aren’t using. This light switch was probably created to save the earth, but it might be nice to have purely to save your sanity. With this visual reminder of how much energy is being used, it might help you keep your energy bill down. This Tio Ghost wall-mounted light switch system is a design by Tim Holley. It’s actually developed with kids in mind to teach them about conserving energy. When the light switch has only been on for less than an hour, it glows green. Then after four it goes to yellow and after eight it turns to an angry red. Sadly it is still just a design, so you’ll have to find some other way to motivate the kids to turn out the lights

Pilino - short film - part 1/2...Thinksters and Gas Arte are proud to present their first short film project. Pilino is a conceptual children yogurt label. However, It could also be a corporate bond, a business loan offer, a chewing gum concept, or a motor-vehicle project. Because Pilino symbolizes all business paradoxes linked to marketing, advertising and all other aspects of modern business executives' policies. Nicolas Androulakis wrote and directed a surreal approach to this very phenomenon. Quoting the director's words "Pilino mocks the tragicomic vanity hidden behind fancy suits and hyper gadgets. And sympathizes with the suppressed, inner kid spirit, of each executive." -The best are yet to come! www.thinksters.org

Pink Floyd - The End Of The Beginni..."The End of the Beginning" ("A Saucerful of Secrets, Pt. IV - Celestial Voices", from A Saucerful of Secrets) The Man and the Journey is the name of a conceptual music piece performed at Pink Floyd live shows in 1969. It consists of several of their early songs coupled with material that would appear on Soundtrack from the Film More and Ummagumma, as well as unreleased songs. The material was incorporated into two album-length suites, The Man and The Journey. The concerts also included visual performance elements such as the sawing and construction of a table and consumption of afternoon tea onstage. The concept was first performed 14 April, 1969 at the Royal Festival Hall in a show billed as The Massed Gadgets of Auximenes - More Furious Madness from Pink Floyd. A truncated version of the show was recorded 12 May, 1969 for the Top Gear radio programme. The 17 September performance in Amsterdam is the most widely bootlegged of the shows on the tour because it was broadcast by radio station VPRO. Plans for an official live album release of The Man and the Journey were considered, but abandoned due to overlap of material with Ummagumma. To most fans, the work is either entirely unknown or at least unrecognized as the genesis of Pink Floyd's 'themed pieces'. The band themselves have seldom made reference to it in later interviews. Yet the unique combination of quadraphonic sound effects, abstract program music, and recursive themes — all of which can be traced to The Man and <b>...</b>

Any toy that teaches kids about alternative energy in a way that makes it fun for them is definitely okay in my book. I’ve seen some that are kits and a bit more complicated.

Light switches have had the same boring design for many years. The only way it can be changed up is typically to add a decorative light switch cover and usually those look incredibly cheesy.
