Going Green – Eco Brick
We began by putting small sachets of plastics on the containers mixing them up with medium sized plastics. Our goal shifted from making eco-bricks to just stuffing plastic into the bottles.

Ding Dong – At Your Service!
Coming home to a flooded house, I needed to provide a stress free environment for my wife for her speedy recovery and for her to provide milk for our new born baby girl. This post shows how I converted a wireless doorbell to instant room service device!
