575. Bright Idea: the Xcelerator Scooter
2008-03-17 06:46:00 I was wondering when someone would produce this: a scooter that also has a kick pedal so you can continue to propel yourself without touching the ground.

2008-02-26 05:49:00 I don’t know about you folks, but my wife and I use our dining table about 3 times a year, when we get around to having a dinner party. Otherwise, we eat on our kitchenette every night. So that is why I think this dining table, which converts into a pool table, is a Bright ... More About: Furniture , Product , Fusion , Idea , Game
572. Bright Idea: the EZ Clean Spray Bottle
2008-02-18 04:30:00 This 32 oz spray bottle holds a roll of paper towels. Quite convenient to use, but maybe not so to transfer the cleaning solution from the original bottle. For $10, buy it HERE. Watch the 30-sec cheesy infomercial below. * More About: Product , Clean , Idea , Bright , Bottle

566. Bright Idea: the Peak Bathtub
2008-01-03 08:50:00 This bathtub is designed to support your knees and conserve water. I like the idea, but I wonder about two possible problems: (1) if two people are in the tub facing each other, it could get awkward getting both sets of legs comfortable; (2) I like to occasionally slide my body down to submerge ...

565. HumBugg: Fireplace DVD
2008-01-03 08:34:00 My in-laws have birds residing in their chimney, so they never use their fireplace. So as a holiday gift, I purchased for them Brookstone’s Fireplace DVD: 50 minutes of high-definition film of a crackling fire (with or without holiday music).

2007-12-20 04:12:00 I recently saw this Omni-directional suitcase (it has 4 casters) by Brookstone at an airport ($69, here).

2007-10-18 06:48:00 I am coming up on one year of posting, but am quickly running out of steam. Lately, I have been debating retiring SparkBugg, but will continue, albeit with less frequent postings, for now. I am still grateful to have any readers at all. Thank you. * * More About: Metapost

2007-10-18 06:42:00 Designed by the pictured 15 y.o. Swede, this bottle has a side opening so you can fit it under you household faucets. It is sold in Sweden for $5. I doubt it will come to the US. Why? Because the tap water here sucks. Unless the Binibottle soon includes a little Brita filter, ... More About: Product , Food and Drink , Idea , Bright
