Every cigarette will make the plants grow a little higher. Cough - that’s me not telling the truth.

If you or your friends are smokers, then you know how difficult it can be to incorporate an ashtray into your decor, let alone deal with the smell. Tab A (vase) and Tab B (planter) are clever little solutions to this problem, hiding an ashtray beneath either a vase or a planter. A perfect way to conceal a dirty habit both visually and aromatically.

Why spend more than 1 Dollar? This is a motto we also follow with our site Lastminute Auction. The artists from the site "Dollar Store Hacks" take this thought a little further creating cool things from products people normally don’t want or buy because it’s cheap.

Update:

I just got back from the daily morning iPhone walking routine. So it turns out that the Movistar in Plaza de la Ayuntamiento (Valencia) “which is their flag ship store here) took handwritten preorders for the iPhone way before the launch date. No comment on how long that list is and when I can expect to buy one as a non privileged “possible” new costumer.

And they only sold the iPhone to walk-in costumers on the first day - so they don’t miss out on the photo op to build a line infront of the store for the press.

According the the website there are several stores listed from there you can buy the iPhone. Which is not correct. I am assuming that all incoming iPhone stock is going straight to the flag ship to work off that list.

Nice going Movistar!

At least here in Valencia!

Most of you readers probably already know that I am super excited for the new iPhone. Since the launch on Friday, I’ve wasted about 15 hours running around, trying to get my hands on one.

They haven’t been able to say when they would be in stock, which I totally understand, but it turns out that not everyone who walks into a Movistar store is the same.

I just got back from yet another visit to the Movistar Store - my third today. Mike went inside because I was too embarrassed to ask the same lady again. While standing outside, I of course pressed my nose against the window to see if there are any iPhones going over the counter … EEEKK .. YES - there was a young dude and his parents buying one. YES!

Mike comes out telling me that they have iPhones but they’re first going to people on a reservation list! WTF? What reservation list? Again, WTF?

I’ve gone 10 times to that same store and they never mentioned anything about reservations. Especially on the launch day. They told us that we probably not getting one today because they had only 6 left and there were at least 15 people in front of us willing to buy one. They told us to come back on Monday, so we left. Again, no mention of a reservation list. And during none of the other times I went and talked to the same lady, did she ever say anything the possibility of reserving an iPhone.

Now I am wondering who those people on that list are. How did they get on it? Am I not good enough for Movistar? You would think if the iPhone is in stock, it’s on a first come first serve basis.

Well, Mike asked if he could reserve iPhones now. Answer: Nope, not today!

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to contain myself tomorrow. ARG!

Perfect for little fingers. I would probably break it while trying to set the clock.

Mini sized flip clock with a nice retro inspired design. What’s not to love about clocks, especially when they are as cool as this one? Counting minutes and hours one flip at a time, this is a worthy time piece for any desk or tabletop, and is sure to draw some attention your way. Another fun little feature is a face plate built into the base that is just begging for you to put a personalized message on it. Liven up your bedroom or workplace with retro style with this low priced flip clock.

Until this phone is out I am going to count down the days until the iPhone 3G is out. As far as I could find out - the iPhone will cost 99 Euros in Spain - 2 year contract with a basic monthly fee starting at 15 Euros. CHEAP! And coolest thing is that the new 3G will be first available at the Telefonica flag store opening in Madrid tomorrow. I really want to go! Anyone wants to sponsor me going there to pick up my phone? !
