Check Out These Boss Lamps

When you think about it most lamps have not changed in about a billion years and they are only good for one thing, providing light. I think it's about time for lamps to go on a journey to find themselves and evolve (because that's how evolution works). There are others out there that not only think the same thing, but are taking action!

A Canadian electrician has put his knowledge to use in making lamps made out of scraps and leftovers, which make them LOOK awesome, but he has also made them function awesome. The lamp bases can have outlets, USB, and light switches all enclosed in great looking wall outlet boxes. How useful is that?!

You can get your own lamp at the Boss Lamps Etsy store. The lamps currently listed are from $68.50 to $95. They also have a Twitter and Facebook page.

Japanese Ghost Ship Found Off The Coast Of Canada

It's been a full year and some days since the tremendous Japanese earthquake on March 11, 2011 that triggered a massive tsunami that regions are still recovering from to this day. Canada just got a sobering reminder of the sheer destructive power of the tsunami in the form of a ship.

The ship was spotted by air about 120 miles off the coast of Canada after meandering across the Pacific Ocean without a soul on board. It has been confirmed by the owner that the squid fishing ship is indeed from Japan and disappeared after the tsunami.

Scientist are keeping track of the ocean currents to estimate when most of the debris will make it to the North American coast. Some say as early as October with some saying as late as 2014, but rest assured we'll remember March 11, 2011 again.
