Clayton Homes has introduced the iHouse, a customizable pre-built house. Thanks to things like solar panels, thick walls and a rainwater catching system, the iHouse only costs about $1/day to cover all it’s electricity needs. There’s a one or two bedroom version of the home which can cost between $75,000 to $140,000 depending on options and shipping/building of the units. All the materials can be shipped in two large trucks and the house takes a few days to assemble.

I’ve seen some cool looking USB drives out there but this is one of the more detailed and hip looking ones. The incredibly detailed design resembles that of an Akai MPC-2000 drum machine. It’s a bit pricy at $40 for a 4GB stick but it will definitely turn heads at the office. There are currently two version, this and one resembling the E-Mu SP-1200. Pre-order now and they will ship on June 12th.
How Much Sugar is in That?
Ever wonder how much sugar you’re really eating or drinking when you’re enjoying your favorite tasty treat? The website http://www.sugarstacks.com/ will let you know through pictures that show the snack along with sugar cubes symbolizing the amount of sugar in that snack. The results are a bit surprising. One can of soda for example which I thought would only have two or three sugar cubes worth of sugar turns out to have nine and a half cubes worth of sugar. a Cinnabun roll has fourteen!
