Futuristic Concept for Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

The Dust Ball by Dave Hakkens takes robotic vacuums to the next level. Punt your vacuum and clean at the same time.
Dust Ball is a robot vacuum cleaner designed for public spaces. There are a lot of robot vacuum cleaners on the market designed for households. However they are fragile and not made to go over any cables, thresholds etc. This one had to be strong, industrial, flexible. However I did not want to give it an industrial/robot appearance.
Inspired by a hamster ball, I came up with Dust Ball. Usually there is no interaction with a robot vacuum. I created a little friend just rolling around and which you could push or kick in a direction to clean. It’s had no trouble with cables or anything like that. It’s strong and when it rolls before your feet you just kick it out of the way.



The Dust Ball comes complete with its very own charging dock.Dust Ball

Painting Tips: Rubber Band Trick

Use a rubber band across the top of your paint container as a place to wipe off excess paint from your brush. That way you are not wiping the brush on the side of the can, making a messes. This way you can store the paint longer.

Use Your Car Alarm as a Home Security Panic Button

Thought this is a good tip to shared with others, if you find it useful share it ..........
What to take to bed with you - not a joke .

Pretty neat idea.

Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. 
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car alarm. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime. 
Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. 
Please shares this.

Tile Vs. Metal Roof

Tile and metal roofs are two of the most popular options available in roofing today. Both options are versatile and durable, and both possess distinct environmental benefits.

    Durability

  1. Metal roofs are durable, resistant to dents and fireproof. Tile roofs are strong as well, with concrete and clay tile roofs holding up better under extreme weather conditions than slate tiles.
  2. Appearance

  3. Tile roof coloration resembles the color of the source material, whether it is clay or slate, but can be painted. Metal roofs can be designed to match almost any style.
  4. Installation

  5. Metal roofs are more difficult to install than tile roofs because of their complex designs, but because they are produced in sheets or sections and are quicker to install.
  6. Environment

  7. Metal roofs reflect sunlight, which reduces the home's need for energy output and helps the environment. Tile roofs help the environment as well by creating good air flow for the home.
  8. Cost

  9. High-quality metal roofs are typically more expensive than tile roofs. Both metal and tile roofs can increase home values and reduce utility bills.

The Occo Seat Design

A minimalist furniture by Melisa Indra, the Occo Seat Design is both convenient and won't take up too much space.
It's a combination of the modern design and the traditional Asian way of seating.  The Occo consists of four circular shaped padded seating piled together on a shaft and a table top to form a composite piece as seen on the pictures.  The padded seats can be removed from the shaft of the composite piece and shared with others.  The sturdy table top can be used with the seats to complete the whole set.

It's a perfect piece of furniture for those that do not have enough space in their homes.
