Sometimes you need an outlet….sometimes you don’t. Almond Joy’s got nuts, Mounds don’t. The Hidden Pop-Up Outlet is a power grommet designed for areas where liquids can spill- like center island kitchens and laboratories. The outlet has a rubber ring around the top that forms a tight seal when the unit is pushed down in the closed position. When you need to plug something in, just pull up the handles until it clicks into place. Push it down when you don’t. Obviously you’ll need a pro to cut a hole in your countertop and install it.

Sliding Door Power Outlet Covers
Here’s a cool little project one Japanese man created to tastefully hide the power outlets in his home. It’s a little sliding door made out of wood. Good idea for those rarely used outlets. He made a few different style like the center-opening Shoji screen style above and the single sliding solid door version below:
While they may be completely unnecessary, and definitely not a good way to childproof your outlets (unless you add a little tiny lock on them), they do add a nice Japanese style decorative touch to your home decor. If you want your own, find a handy friend or learn some woodworking. (via rocketnews)

Square scores retail deal with AT&T, swipes smile off competitors’ faces
Been paying for your frappuccino via Square, and fancied getting some of that diminutive payment-taking action for your own business? Well, previously, if you didn't live near an Apple store, Radioshack, Walgreens, Fed Ex office, Best Buy, Target, UPS or Wal-Mart then you were fresh outta retail-luck. Or living in a cave. Now, however AT&T has started stocking the card readers at all its bricks and mortar outlets too, further plumping-up that number of locations that stock it. Frankly, we're not surprised to see this reaching more shops, if the sales guys spend all their time drinking that brand-endorsed coffee.
