As some of you know, ActiveTech is changing locations and merging operations with Solarbotics. The retail store is going to take the space where the former RnD lab was, and we've been working hard to prepare that area for the move-in.
Wednesday Cool Links: Carbomorph, Textil...
Solar botics
February 7, 2013
Hey, today's cool links are so cool that nothing need to be said in their defense (except for that Thursday is new Wednesday now!). At all. Anyone, try to prove me wrong! Here, you can't. I thought so... So enjoy this truly exquisite selection, and next week we're gonna bring you more on our softest ostrich-feathered wings.

Ostrich Pillow Never wanna see anyone again? Erm, I meant take a power nap or remedy a jet lag before it hits? Ostrich Pillow is the answer. The creators of this clever device made it successfully on the Kickstarter too. |
Nope. Not saying anything any more. Except for what I already said. And that's it. Nothing else. At all. You got me. Nothing to see here.
