It just keeps getting sleeker and sleeker — with the help of Magnus’ Aluminum Magnetic iPad Stand, you can continue to enjoy the slim silhouette of the iPad even when tilted at an optimum viewing angle. The stand takes as much of a hands-off approach as possible, doing the majority of its heavy lifting with the invisible power of magnetic force. So, while your iPad may look like it’s floating in air, it’s actually secure as can be, thanks to the Magnus’ nickel-plated neodymium magnets embedded in the base.

It may be a bit “Little Shop of Horrors,” but the work of NY scientists Kate Hartman, Kati London and Rob Faludi is genuinely useful, especially for the busy New Yorker who needs a gentle reminder every now and again. Giving voice to the voiceless, the Botanicalls kit takes a soil moisture reading and notifies the thirsty plant’s owner via Twitter when it’s time for a drink. With a little soldering and general assembly, it’s ready to go, along with the option of programming custom messages for your plant to tweet. Yup. Now your plant can start posting on Twitter. Imagine the possibilities, then go lie down for awhile when they become far too terrifying to process.
D.I.Y. enthusiasts, you’ll enjoy waking up to the Monochron clock – after you’ve assembled it yourself, naturally. It’s a slight step up in skill level than our LittleBits Circuit Starter Kit, but it doesn’t require much beyond a beginner’s familiarity with a soldering iron, so don’t let that scare you off. Plus, once it’s built, the clock’s open source nature allows you to make all sorts of custom modifications such as programming your own display face. If that’s not up your alley, choose from a few available ones, including a Pong-style animation.
