These Photon Light Skateboards are one step closer to my dream of Marty McFly 2015 “back to the future” hoverboards but still far from floating. Photon Light Skateboards feature embedded LEDs in the wood deck. The boards include a thin lithium ion rechargeable battery mounted under a protective plate on the bottom of the board. […]

Vauni Globe Ethanol Fireplace
Vauni Globe is the world’s only globe-shaped ethanol fireplace. It is a free-standing, chimney-free hearth on a foot that can be turned 360 degrees for optimal viewing angle and flexibility.
