Stackable Storage for your data!
Modular, colorful, and with a UI that’s seriously to die for, the UP Memory Tower by Anton Repponen is like the Towers Of Hanoi game meets storage. With a connecting base at the bottom and a cooling fan at the very top, Repponen’s stackable storage allows you to, intuitively build your own hard drive using vertically stacked, color-coded individual disks of storage.
The disks range from 1 to 8 terabytes of storage (there’s even a speckled 2Tb hard disk for LeManoosh lovers!) and the color coding helps to let you segregate the drives based on content. The drives stack on top of each other, and connect via the base to a laptop or desktop, where an incredibly intuitive and beautiful UI makes it easy to configure and control your data. Designed clearly for creatives, the UP Memory Tower is absolutely perfect for photographers, video editors, designers and others who frequently work with large file sizes. In fact I’m writing a letter to Anton right now to start building prototypes for mass manufacture!

Exogear’s Exovolt Plus ‘stackable’ battery pack claims to be the first of its kind
We've seen (and tested) a fair share of interesting power packs during our time, and Exogear's hoping to make a mark of its own in this very juicy department with what the outfit's calling "the world's first" stackable battery pack. The newly minted Exovolt Plus consists of a main 5,200 mAh kit, which can then be paired -- or, in this particular case, stacked -- alongside a "Sub Battery" unit to create the ultimate portable charging station. One thing worth noting, though, is that each extra stack will be sold separately for nearly $50, while the essential Exovolt Plus is set to run at about $90 minus some change. Given its universal capabilities (30-pin, USB and micro-USB), something tells us the Exovolt Plus won't have trouble landing any suitors despite its somewhat hefty price tag. Still, you'll have to wait a little while before you can snag one of these, as it's currently listed as "coming soon," and its creator's yet to reveal when we can expect it to go on sale.

Permalink |Cups That Can Dry While Stacked Up
Cups- have you heard of them? Ever tried to air dry a bunch of plastic cups, or need to dry them off after they come out of the dishwasher still wet (why does that happen anyway)? From what my butler, housekeepers and personal assistants tell me, cups don’t dry very well if they’re stacked up. Something about moisture being trapped. Well with Totem – Stackable Air Drying Cups your problem is solved. They have little nubs to keep the glasses separated while stacked so the air goes in and dries them off, see:
The brim of each cup is contoured too so the bottoms of the cups dry out too. Not to mention they look pretty cool, are BPA-free, hold 15 ounces, and come in a set of 4 for under $15.
