You’ve heard of sun tea in a jar. You’ve heard (if you are literate in Appalachian tradition) of moonshine in a jar. But did you know that you can now buy jars of not only of sunshine, but of sunshine disguising itself as moonshine?
It’s a perfect accessory for those of you who love the sun during the day, is the sunjar. Have it sit in the sun during the day for several hours to charge and see it radiate at night worth of after-dark illumination. All made possible by modern technology – some LED's, a solar panel and some ingenious thinking.
The Sun and Moon Jars use 2 standard AA rechargeable battery, which is replaceable and Waterproof Plastic cover make them more durable and safe than the Ⅰ. The $19.99 USD Jars can be even left outside to power up in the absence of a suitably sunny window; and I think they’d be perfect in the garden(With the nails)!

Great for controlling your music, video playback and other multimedia jazz from up to 30m away.
The best part has nothing to do with your laptop however. It’s all the fun you and your cat will have playing with the integrated laser pointer.

Having an alarm clock of some sort in your bedroom is vital, but why settle for something that looks so ordinary when you can settle for the Toothed Mechanical Wheel Clock.
This Machine time clock is a functional timepiece that is shaped like a silver gear wheel, which shall look pretty impressive for the mechanical geeks. The clock exposes the gear wheel which makes it so interesting to watch at the slowly moving gear.
Telling time seems to be difficult on this clock. By looking at the picture attached above, it seems hard for me to figure out where the hour and minute hands are. Anyway, this clock is said to be built with torque mechanism from Japan which is highly accurate that gives a daily error of 2 seconds only. It’s claimed to be a highly reliable and accurate clock but those gears seem not to be my type.
When you’ve fallen in love with machinery you’d love to have some gadgets that expose you with various gears and nuts to sit on your work desk.
