good design : solar, so good

Fireflies in a mason jar; it's like an illusion of a charming evening somewhere in the South. In actual fact it's the brainchild of those crazy British kids from SUCK UK.

I live in the Bay Area - out of the fog bank - so solar power is very appealing, and appropriate. There is not a lot of modern solar design yet, but the designers of these products are changing that. I definitely have the solar house numbers on my wish list - and the boys would have a lot of fun with the helicopter.

Keep up the "good design"!
