Coffee, Donuts, and Mini Risers.

Somewhere between a half empty espresso and a partially chewed "apple fritter" at our favorite coffee establishment, it came to us...the Mini Riser! A compact, stylish, inexpensive laptop riser designed for mobile computing people. It props up the keyboard so you won't be cooking your laptop on the go, and the small footprint makes it easy to stuff in your case or tote along. Best of all, they look cool and we have 10 colors to pick from!

Volume Discounts

Maybe you have a giant collection of game controllers? Or perhaps you have an entire wall of metal to mount your game CDs? Or maybe you have a massive group of friends to nurture (we only have 7...and 2 of them are plants.). Whatever the case, we now offer volume discounts on Wall Clips and Disc Mounts for those in need.

2009 About Us Infographic

Interested learning more about us? Yeah, us neither...too scary. But for those who dare, we just posted our 2009 About Us Infographic. Can't say it will give you a clue what is up with us, but at least it should be an interesting read for 5 minutes...or not. Either way, it fluffs up the web by a hundred more kBytes. Enjoy.

UK Shipping Bug

Sometimes you cross your t's, dot your i's, use superglue, tape, staples, comb your hair, and still things go wrong.

In our case, we had a bug that made shipping estimates fail for the UK and a few other countries. The failure prevented order submissions from those countries. Sorry. We did fix the problem though...added extra superglue, tape, and combed our hair twice. Things should be fine now.

Introducing the Wall Clip For Video Controllers

Well, we've been busy...playing video games. Only to test our latest creation however (and to get really good at Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Halo, and Mario Kart). What is it? It's the Wall Clip! It stores video controllers on walls, or any other vertical surface. We initially designed it for the Wii remote and nunchuck, then evolved it to work with Xbox, PlayStation, guitar, steering, and classic controllers. Yes, it hangs them all!

Experiment in Progress Shirts!

Oh yes...we like to draw too. In fact, we drew a lot of stuff for the opening of our shop at CafePress. The first series is called “Experiment in Progress”. Curious? Check out all the designs at the Laboratory 424 Merchandise Store.

Disc mounts now only $5.95 for 12!

Whew! Our next product (formerly experiment 07149) turned out to be quite a challenge. We figured it out though, and made it better than originally anticipated. Yes, all injuries were minor, and the emergency chemical wash was used only once (due to some blazing-hot salsa someone brought in for our lab party...I'm sticking with the guacamole next time).

The Lab Is Open!

drupal5admin — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:51:07 -0400

Ah yes...monkeys have been contained (for now), lab minions have been properly fed, fires have been extinguished, hair has been combed...we're ready.

What do we do? We create unique products for you, to be built by you. Free plans, parts kits, and more stuff. Our first product is the Disc Mount, which allows you to store and display your CDs on metal surfaces. But it doesn't stop there. We have a huge queue of projects...some interesting, some practical, some flat out odd...like us.

Hope to see you around.
