I'm not very good at folding origami. I struggle with the wordless 300+ step directions needed to make just about anything. I'm too impatient to interpret the images. I find the dotted lines and curly arrows confusing. Plus, I struggle with mentally rotating images. Because of my white belt origami status, I bow down to those crazy amazing black belt folders. I also bow down to the dexterous hands (and brains) behind My Jello Americans.
Folding paper? Tres Tricky. Folding jello? Well, who could have imagined that?

Sticker to soap
Don't you just hate those stickers on fruit?
You either try to to peel them off and they stick to your fingers or you completely forget that they're there and then you wind up with gross paper in your mouth. Luckily, Amron Experimental came up with a clever solution. They created a label that turns into soap when washed and rubbed. How clever is that?!? Poof! Goodbye unwanted wax, pesticides, and bacteria!

Dream appliance
I was poking around the NYTimes when I came across this image. Suddenly the heavens opened before my eyes and I fell to my knees in awe.
Apparently, volume 25 of Make magazine has directions. Now all I need is a copy of that magazine, a house with a large garage, a lesson in welding, and an agreeable hubby.... easy.

Transpoosion
Have you heard of heart transplants?
Kidney transplants?
Poo transplants?
Yes, you read right. Poo transplants. Apparently some patients suffer from terrible diarrhea caused by very bad bacteria. Currently available antibiotics can't help, so some doctors are turning to "transpoosion" therapy. They place a healthy person's poo into the patient's stomach. The result? In most cases, the bad bacteria are killed and the patient's system returns back to normal.
Inspired by these findings, I'm doing my part to help. No, I'm not donating. Instead, I've designed some stickers that donors could wear after making a donation.

Taco infomertial
Do you ever eat tacos and find yourself with this problem?
Oh no! The tilted taco! The outpouring of my delicious fillings.... |
Well, that problem is a thing of the past!
A flat bottom- simple change in design... awesome benefits |
All my fillings are now safely secured. Now that's some great engineering!
