28 September 2006Could I be swinging on a star?Probably not. On the other hand, this is the closest thing yet to carrying moonbeams home in a jar:
While the Sun Jar appears to be an ordinary mason jar, it is really a solar powered lamp that charges during the day to be used at night. I really appreciate its eco-friendly approach, which doesn't feel too mechanical. Put it on your windowsill or in your sunroom, next to your jar of sun brewed tea.
Yeah, I know: this isn't exactly newtech. I have a couple of exterior lights that run off the same principle. But this thing, which looks like you captured the Mother of All Fireflies, has higher gotta-have-it factor, important to those who seek to be better off than they are.

As it is, me and McGehee get to stretch out in half the unreal estate 'round here. It's like a cafe no one's discovered. If it gets too popular, everyone will stop coming.
