Dulux PaintPod Provides a Little Pump Action to DIY Painting

Kit Eaton — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:37:09 EST

Dulux's new PaintPod system is a labor-saver for decorators, pumping paint directly to its roller at the right rate to avoid splodges. In one swoop it eliminates those drips-on-floor and fussing with cans that painting usually involves (at least, in our house). Best of all: fill it with water when you're done, and it cleans itself for you in just 10 minutes. Its one drawback is that it takes drop-in five liter paint packs, for the specially formulated paint—$40 for white and $60 for color. Available April in the UK, for around $135.

RollerTops Give Businessmen a Portable Laptop Tray, Ensure Trip is Only Business not Pleasure

If you travel at least a little bit for work, you'll be interested in this RollerTop tray for your carry-on bag. It's a stand that hooks to the top of the handle on your roller bag, which folds out to give you a "stable" platform to put your laptop on. This way you can be checking email or surfing the net even when you're waiting in line to board.

Of course, you could do that with a smartphone, but what smartphone has a 13-inch screen? Best of all, when your bag tips over and your laptop gets smashed to bits, you'll still have a nice platform to put your elbows on while you're sobbing. – Jason Chen
