POP BUBBLE WRAP WHILE YOU WAIT FOR INSTANT ANTI-STRESS

It’s the universally gratifying sensation felt by every man, woman, and child who has ever torn open a package to discover an object protected with bubble wrap: the satisfying pop caused from squeezing little plastic pockets of air (and WOE to the person responsible for inventing the new sheets of bubble wrap that are actually just one contiguous pocket of air and are completely un-poppable, you made my son cry, but I digress). In an attempt to help minimize the stress caused from the tedium of waiting for a late train, Italian street artist Biancoshockinstalled sheets of bubble wrap cut into squares labeled with the approximate amount of time it would take to pop them. Brilliant.

An original run of the clock was successfully funded on Kickstarter last year, but the clock is now available to the general public through their website.

PLUGG RADIO SWITCHES ON AND OFF WITH A CORK

The radio, called simply Plugg, is a 3D printed prototype by Theo Tveterås and Lars Marcus Vedeler, and it's just about as simple as it seems. There are buttons on the side for changing volume and the cork toggles the on/off. It allows the radio to switch on and off based on removal of the cork. Cool, watch the video.
