Happy President's Day! Hopefully, your company is nice and is following the bank holidays this year, and if you're stuck at work today, hopefully it's a quiet day.  In any case, here is some insipration for a Monday afternoon.

It's the second annual Greener Gadgets Design Competition sponsored by Greener Gadgets and Core77. As part of the conference which will take place on February 27th here in New York, they are having a product design competition. The premise of which is consumer electronics with minimal environmental impact. The winners will be chosen live at the conference from 10 finalists. But in the meantime, you can vote on 50 semi-finalists to help narrow down to 10.

Here are some of my favorites:

Indoor Drying Rack by Rob Podell

It allows you to dry your clothes flat, and folds up against the wall when not in use.

Eco-neighbuzz by Korhan Buyukdemirci

A replacement for apartment intercoms that incorporates a message system between apartments.

CompostAll by frog design

A combination garbage disposal and composter that combines the best functions of both products.

Click through to vote. You only have until Friday, February 20th to do so. And of course, share what your favorites are in the comments.
