On the other side of the world from me there is a fellow named Chris Molloy, who is doing some very interesting things in furnishings and home design, some of which utilize solar heat and photovoltaics. Chris has a flair for the unconventional and a penchant for creative use of materials. For instance, there is his windspeed anemometer, pictured here, made from baby food cups and a bicycle computer.

Chris describes a delightful multi-legged rimu table on his site that must

be held together by magic.
If you're into creating your own LED lights and you're looking for an application for the LED Lightboard, go to
Chris's website to check out his LED reading light and his solar photovoltaic system that powers it. Chris' LED Lightboard project was a success. He recently wrote to say that he is now looking forward to getting permission from his wife to install more LED lights in the kitchen. They make excellent under cabinet lights, Chris. Good luck, and thanks for sharing your web site.
