Modular Vertical Garden Brings Green to Urban Walls
April 2, 2011 by Robin Plaskoff Horton
Urbio is a new magnetic-backed and modular vertical garden system that easily enables you to bring green to empty urban walls. As urban dwellers, or those who live and work in small spaces, it can be difficult to find an area in which to exercise one’s green thumb. Urbio’s magnetic system can transform any wall or ferrous surface into a beautiful vertical garden.
Each eco-plastic pot is equipped with large neodymium magnets strong enough to hold almost anything on the wall. The modular wall plates can easily be mounted to any surface on a balcony, rooftop, or even the fridge door. Mount just one Urbio pot, or fill your wall with a number of them of varying sizes.
The system includes small, medium, and large vessels or pots, wall plates, and individual wall mount pucks that can connect the pots to each other or mount them to the wall.
Experiment connecting together different sized pots to create your own unique centerpiece or a focal point. The pots are removable, making it easy to water them or take out for planting. The flexibility extends outside the garden into the playroom, kitchen, bathroom, and office. Use the system to store art supplies, cooking utensils, small tools…endless possibilities.
Urbio’s designers have launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds for completing the tooling portion of the project in order to bring the product to market. They are offering a great deal on the product in various forms in exchange for a pledge. For as little as $20, you can get yourself a small pot with a single wall mount puck. $200 gets you an entire system: four small pots, 3 medium pots, one large pot, nine wall mount plates, and 6 single wall mount plates.
Urbio is a collaborative effort between two studios: Enlisted Design and Volare. Enlisted Design is a boutique product design studio in the San Francisco Bay Area partnered by Beau Oyler and Jared Aller. Volare is a China-based firm specializing in product development and design manufacturing. Learn more or get yourself some Urbio on Kickstarter.

fun to see such innovative garden products Thank you for the share Annie

Nice design! these pots definitely look cool, but it would be good to know what they are made of? Do we really need more new plastic containers?
— April 2, 2011 @ 12:25
Great idea for small and large places, I also love the clean look.
— April 2, 2011 @ 21:58
interesting request to raise funds for the tooling….i like the idea a lot – something similar was built in the UK using red magnetic rectangles – it looks very funky but is very expensive –
will the magnetic loose grip over time?

Now this I could actually use in my balcony-less city apartment.

Thanks for your comments on Urbio!
Here’s a few answers to your questions:
The Urbio vessels will be made of post consumer recycled plastic. We’re hoping to offer an eco solution to urban gardening, while keeping the cost very affordable. The magnets will not lose strength over time and in fact are very efficient in keeping the Urbio vessels vertical so that the plants can grow. It’s such a cool feeling when the vessel sticks to a ferrous surface and you walk away… kinda magical. And yes, Urbio was designed for the balcony-less flats in mind 🙂 Please visit our kickstarter site to pledge now and help make Urbio a reality.
Thanks!
Beau.

My mouse/ touch pad screwed up on my brand new laptop last year. When I called customer support with my warranty, they talked me through repairing it in the BIOS (whatever the heck that is). And since they are replacing your motherboard, or repairing it, whatever, I would imagine there are some BIOS settings that can be checked on and reset because replacing the motherboard probably means some BIOS settings are now not lining up with the new motherboard.

Once the snoring had escalated to “affect the rotation of the earth” levels, I gave up and since my laptop is kept right next to my bed, I pulled it over and started reading some of my favorite blogs. A friend noticed I was on-line and we proceeded to chat. At last, I started feeling sleepy and so I put the computer back and tapped Hubs gently on the shoulder.
— May 6, 2011 @ 03:27
ubs and I know better than to try to decorate the house together. It’s not that we haven’t tried, you understand. It’s just that Hubs is somewhat, and I say this with great love and respect, “particular” about where the decorations go. And by “particular,” of course, I mean a raving, perfection-obsessed, control freak who makes me ponder the idea of ripping my own fingernails from their beds just to distract myself from the agony of his constant adjusting of the scenery. Over the past several Christmas seasons I have learned how to handle this little quirk;I let him do his thing and I do mine. My thing includes setting up the nativity scene.

Over the weekend, Son finally realized a long-cherished dream of his: to own an Atari video game console. I’m not exactly sure why this was such a coveted item for him, nor am I sure he knows. He simply says, “It’s a piece of gaming history.” Nice. Something from my childhood is viewed by my son as “history”. An antique, if you will.
— May 6, 2011 @ 03:33
When I tried doing the same, I had to move my entire right side. My hip wasn’t cooperating, so all the the muscles from the right side of my face, down my shoulder and to my right calf had to pick up the slack. I certainly wouldn’t call my movements as “graceful.” I think it was more in the vicinity of “self induced muscular spasm while being electrocuted at irregular intervals.” At the end of one session, I was suffering from a full body twitch similar to a toad on drugs.

Personally, I went through a frame of time where I did not believe. However, when I came back, I decided to start doing some serious research. I would look into arguments against Christianity, and then, when I believed (based on what was said/found) that there possibly WASN’T a God… I’d take those arguments (which were wonderful), and find the arguments to THOSE arguments…

On my way back to the office, stuck on the back of a speed limit sign, was a small sticker, no bigger than 4 square inches. On it was a sketch of Andre the Giant and scrawled in the corner was “Andre the Giant has a Posse”. What a blast from the past! Andre the Giant?! In 2009?! For some reason this sticker just made me giddy. It was a treasure on a boring walk down a busy street. It’s almost a better sighting than the fire next to the train tracks I saw awhile back. Almost. But then a funny thing happened. I started getting all nostalgic.

How many more people are we going to hear about that are losing their jobs? Too many for my taste. You read the sad stories everyday, people selling their most prized possessions, cutting back on luxuries, downsizing their homes, cars, etc., etc. It’s not often you hear the stories of people making it work with the new time they have or finding a new love after a long career was put to rest. Here is such a story. This is the story of Anna. This is a single mom, one of the millions in America laid off. Her newest venture – art. And I love it! It’s funky and retro, and just plain fun! Her collages are my favorite. Please check out “It Takes Two” and imagine my girls.
— May 6, 2011 @ 03:45
Never have I seen such consternation. It was beautiful. On and on we went, Son losing more bitterly every time. Grandpa eagerly urging Son to keep going. Finally, Son appeared to simply give up. He sat back as my player continued to score points and eventually win, 21 to 0. It was around then that Son held aloft the other end of the controller’s plug. “How are you playing without even being plugged in?” He demanded.

This blogger’s absense has been brought to my attention twice in the past few weeks so I guess it’s about time I put it back into my daily routine. Starting tomorrow!
Until then, let me tell you – though I have no photographic proof until I steal the photos I took with my Mom’s camera – Pikeville, TN is pretty darn gorgeous! And my Great-Aunt Priscilla & Great-Uncle Ed have one amazing house sitting atop a mountain with the most amazing view from their front porch! We were only there a few hours but had a blast! Thanks to my wonderful family for a great day!
— May 6, 2011 @ 03:54
So I have a new plan. I can’t control the weekdays since I don’t have her but the weekends – oh boy, I’m going to wear her out on the weekends! On Sat we spent 4 hours walking around the zoo. Our friend had a stroller. Did I let Layla rest a bit in the stroller? Nope. She was walking. Now, I’m no tyrant and did occasionally carry her or put her up on my shoulders but not for long. The Altanta Zoo has 2 playgrounds. We let the kids run around on both. Now it amazes me that Layla is “too tired” to walk from the otters to the pandas but show her a playground and suddenly she’s Usain Bolt. (you know, that dude from the Olympics? The fast one. Right. Him) Ten minutes into the ride home and she was conked out. I dumped her on the living room couch, not risking a walk upstairs and had a peaceful hour and a half to read. It was amazing! On Sunday, the only active thing we did was go to the grocery store and she was still so worn out from Sat that she fell asleep watching cartoon at her Papa’s house. Thank goodness for the family pass b/c now whenever I have a good book to read, we’re going to the zoo first!

On Facebook there is this application where you can pick your top 5 of basically any catagory you can think of. And if you didn’t think of one, don’t worry, some moron thought of it for you. I chose “5 Albums That Shaped Me” and as I did, very specific memories came into focus. And because most of my readers are family, I felt the need to share them. And Facebook status just isn’t the place for that. So I give you my childhood set to music (the music will be in your head so sing along!)

Luke has been potty training the past couple of weeks and doing a good job. It all started at his Mother’s Day out program where he’s been in a dry diaper for the past two weeks and racking up a lot of smiley stamps for using the “big boy” potty. He’s had a couple of accidents here and there, but overall doing great!

My cousin gave up Facebook for Lent. My mom is giving up internet Boggle. I’m giving up just being on the computer at home for anything other than necessities. Family & friends are more important. Call them on the phone, go visit them. Life is more than instant gratification. Just wait, it’s worth it.
— May 6, 2011 @ 04:09
First off, I could give a f*ck less what my date says about my appearance. I think I’m hot, so what do I care? What matters to me is when a guy tells me I’m beautiful even if I’m in no make-up, jeans, a T shirt, and sneaks. Because that means he’s talking about something beneath the surface. If a guy can’t even see a HINT of that in you, from the beginning, then he’s not worth it. He’s just not the right guy for you. (And if he “sees” more than a hint of that, he may just be talking out of his a$$ to get some, but hell, you’re a chick, you know what signs to look for”.
— May 6, 2011 @ 04:19
Why don’t you stop fishing for compliments, then? -_-
He’s actually pretty smart, on the contrary to what YOU think. I’d rather some guy be honest instead of kissing my ass and lying. And also, you’re being a drama queen. *WAHHH! Some guy doesn’t think I’m pretty! This was the most horrible date EVAR!*
Not everybody’s going to think of you as highly as you want them to. Get over yourself.
I really hope this wasn’t a serious post.

No one looks fab w out makeup or in over sized pj’s..ok maybe a few…lol…on a shallow level so to speak…but some see through to the heart…they dont see what the world considers imperfections…all they see is beauty! When ur 80yrs old…looks have faded…thats when most get past others outward looks and discover the true beauty of people…its not their apperance but their souls!

Eight years ago (this week, in fact) Marc and I made our first big move as a young, married couple from our little duplex in Springville to an apartment in a little suburb of Portland. Tigard was home for just a little over a year, but we loved our time there. Some of our favorite memories all stem from the first big decision we made upon arrival – where to live.

thought i was cynical, but there are times when even i have to bow my head and acknowledge that compared to some i am a bundle of happy fluffy joy.
— May 6, 2011 @ 22:02
don’t forget to get out there and vote.
some of you have local elections to wade through.
i just have the almost interesting yes/no on the alternative voting system.
— May 6, 2011 @ 22:05
the one thing the av debate has done is once again give free publicity to the british national party. it is odd how we only really hear about the danger of the bnp when elections come around and then it isn’t to debate the ideas (misconceptions) they have but to scare monger that a vote for them might lead to the end of western civilization.
— May 6, 2011 @ 22:07
I’m guessing you probably know the answer.
So, that was exactly what I did. I focused first on the most important priority – getting my boys settled safely and peacefully in their new (shared) bedroom for the night. Then, I tackled the boxes. One at a time. I couldn’t look at the entire house filled with boxes. It just made me want to cry, if I did. I had to force myself to focus on the one box in front of me. One at a time.

Have you seen the Verizon Commercial, “There’s an app for that?” You must have, because they only show it every 4th ad on television. Well. They were. Guess their timing for the spots was poorly picked. WHY?! Because when this ad ran and ran and ran (along with another ad– the Droid phone for Verizon), I thought to myself for weeks. Gee, the almighty AT&T sure is slow to respond to such blatant attacks on their brand and phones. WHAT are they waiting for!?!?
— May 6, 2011 @ 22:15
Clearly they see the blogosphere as something inherently more powerful than traditional media. WHY? Are bloggers really that much more influential that a newspaper or radio personality touting their experience with products they were given by the brands to try and endorse? I know when I hear the voice of the FAT FAT DJ on the radio telling me to try some weight-loss pill even though I cannot see the results for myself, I totally believe it! HA!

I’ll freely admit I suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome. I think George W. Bush was the worst president of my lifetime, which began in the closing days of the Truman administration. Mr. Bush finished his career with a comfortable lead over first runner up Richard Nixon.

I want to plug a book. I read a lot of books, but rarely does one affect me enough that I want to recommend it.
The book is called For All My Walking. It’s a collection of poetry by SantÅ?ka Taneda, translated from Japanese by Burton Watson.

Before I put any photos up of the latest addition to our cute little family I’m going to make my blog private. After my last post about being unsure on doing that (because i REALLY dont want too) i got another weird/creepy comment sooo the time has come. Leave me your address, i check my blog every day and i’ll delete the comment so no one will snag your email addresses. thanks 🙂
— May 6, 2011 @ 22:30
ooooo i hate private blogs because then i can’t blog stalk anonymously – however i’m getting a few random comments from people i dont know and its making me a little nervous. the only down side is i have a ton of out of town fam that looks at my blog just to keep in touch. not sure what to do. i guess i think about it for a couple weeks. if anyone has any suggestions to not going private and keeping the weirdys away let me know.

There are two things happening in this picture that N.E.V.E.R. happen. the first being parker asleep anywhere but his crib or car seat (whats even more crazy was asleep while there was literally construction going on 10 ft from him) and the second thing is patrick voluntarily hanging out next to parker for any reason what so ever. parker ‘loves’ him a little too much.

Last time I wrote a big thing about Starbucks, this time I’ve delving into the world of McCafe. The way I viewed McDonald’s while working at the agency and the global perception may be a bit different. Both good and bad, but mainly just different. The amount I enjoyed just doing work and being able to be a part of something on the account really transitioned over to the brand for me. It created a little more respect for the brand in my mind so to speak. Because I mean, I know what McDonald’s is, I know they aren’t really revered or respected for some of their characteristics. But in an advertising way, I think they do a marvelous job. They also show phenomenal social responsibility through multiple charities.

Look, if I re-posted everything I love from the Neon Gold blog, this thing would be nothing but Neon Gold posts. And, you know, that’s why I link them to the left, because they’re awesome, and I love them, but holy moly, I gotta re-post this. I haven’t been sold on Mr. Little Jeans just yet, but this Royal Palms remix of “Rescue Song” is hardcore rocking my world. It’s all slinky, sultry until the bottom drops out, and it’s like SHOOMP SHOOMP SHOOMP.

I played Warpaint’s “Billie Holiday” on a loop during the summer of 2009. Something about their brand of L.A. girl group gone listless folkie really resonated with me. It was this song that seemed like a combination of Shannon Stephens “In Summer in the Heat” and “Glamorous” by Fergie (yeah. i know). Peep their contribution to the Soundies series below, and maybe you’ll get an idea of what I mean. Sure it’s raining and they’re bundled up in sweatshirts, but I’m breaking out in a sweat, you know?

I was pretty impressed with his ability to stack stuff. he was helping me move all of the games/dvds into the new office and i didn’t know he was stacking them up. when i came into the office i was amazed how tall it was and that it was still standing. parker looks so serious because i was rushing him to take a pic before the stack fell down (it was barely balanced) so he didn’t have time to prepare his proper cheese face.

Today I found myself thinking of all the things I like about our new home – the sound of the morning doves and other birds singing throughout the day, the park across the street where kids today were out playing baseball with their dads, the random cat wandering the very quiet neighborhood, the secluded feeling of living on the outskirts of town, the view from our kitchen of the hills. I really liked our other place and had felt quite sad about leaving it, until I realized what we were getting in its place.

We’re not completely settled in yet, but we’re getting there. And, after a weekend of General Conference, I’m feeling encouraged and renewed. I’m anxious to go back and, in my studies, gather my own list of little personal prophetic epistles, as referred to by Elder Holland. Lots of gems that I want to hang on to and live by. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to work on areas of weakness and inabilities, but I suppose personal improvements, just like settling from our move, require the same answer to that silly elephant riddle.
Taking just one day at a time. And, that’s exactly what I’ll do.

I grew up with five brothers. I felt like I was somewhat prepared for life with boys. I just didn’t realize how early some of their boyish instincts would kick in. Benjamin has been testing his climbing limits for a few months now, but he’s clearly getting more and more confident (and risky).

Nothing like taking on a remodeling project right before a baby gets here. Just kidding – i didn’t have to do anything. Kodi & his dad did all the work. We added a den to our overly large/wasted space of a front room. here are the befores/during/afters

Last week I needed to make a couple cakes for someone in the ward so I pulled up a chair for parker to ‘help’ me. He loves to help in the kitchen and especially if it involves baking of any kind. I normally dont let him eat batter or cookie dough because i knew what kind of monster it would create. I finally gave in and let him have the spatula and beater after i was done using them – he enjoyed every last taste

There are a shitload of anti-smoking ads that tell you that smoking ads make smoking seem glamorous. But when was the last time you ever saw a fucking smoking ad? In a 1992 Playboy? For fuck sakes, if people want to smoke, let them fucking smoke. If you get addicted to it, you’re a stupid asshole. I smoke a cigar and/or cigarette once in a blue moon, don’t worry about it. Relax. Have a fucking beer and chill out. There are worse things.

Weâ??ve been bogged down with LIFE; in a good way. Itâ??s full. This speech thing my kids are doing is sucking the life right out of me on one end and filling me up with a fire hose on the other end. Itâ??s hard to ponder and wonder about things when you are just in the middle of the fun. Itâ??s a great time to just go with the flow.

Until recently, I had a narrow perception of Jonah as pitiful and angry and bitter. Thatâ??s how the Bible describes him. Lately, however, my perception of Jonah is broadening. First, I heard a sermon series by RC Sproul on the subject of Jonah then, my church did a series on Jonah. Itâ??s a whale of a tale weighing the grace of God against the self-righteousness of man and Iâ??m discovering stuff I didnâ??t know. LOVE how Godâ??s Word does that!

Have you ever had a â??belly of the fishâ?? kind of experience where you were covered my the mirk and mire of oneâ??s circumstances, yet it was your salvation? We donâ??t often see the salvation until later, kind of like Jesus and the tomb ….. (duh – if you cross reference much of anything thatâ??s an easy match). But because we donâ??t live in the â??ever afterâ?? but in the â??here and nowâ?? in the midst of our stinky, acidic, rotting circumstances we forget to be thankful. Sometimes it is good to remember that despite everything, God calls us to Himself. We canâ??t get away from His purposes. We canâ??t run away from His agenda. We canâ??t escape His love.

The bad news: I’m not done yet. The good news: I’m at least 75% of the way there. I’ve got one small window to go, which at this point is totally inaccessible because there’s a bunch of not-yet-installed drywall leaning against it (the drywall guy has flaked on us three times in a row, and I’m starting to get peeved), and there’s also the wood directly surrounding the glass in the big windows. I’ve got this process down to a science, though. I’m pretty sure I can handle it.

We continue to stay busy. Besides our regular Laugh Out Loud improv shows, we’re also traveling to do holiday shows and enjoying attending some as well. We’re also both starting to go on more commercial auditions. Corey’s actually booked a couple! If you live anywhere that has a Firestone store, you might see him pop up in a commercial as “Donut guy.” If you live in Chicago, you’ll be lucky enough to see him this Spring in a commercial for a local costume store as the store manager. I’m getting closer and closer to booking, but haven’t quite yet. It just takes perseverance. In fact the statistics show that you only book one in every 27 auditions, so I figure it’s just a matter of time.

I love when posters at, say, GraphJam get their heads securely wedged up their own asses and do something like this. The ‘most people are stupid but I appreciate real culture’ thing is kind of a retarded track to take. Yes, most people ARE stupid, and I say as much all the time, and hmm…I had a point that didn’t involve taking a cold hard look at the man in the mirror…hold on…it’s in here somewhere…

Last summer we wrote a short film. It started out as a sketch for a show we were helping to write, and when it didn’t quite fit into that show, we decided to extend it and film our first short movie. Thankfully we had wonderful friends willing to help us make it. Though it took a while to finally finish, we’re proud to present “The Pinata.” Please check it out and if you like it, pass it along!

Emotions in musical form? You’re fucking kidding, right? I’d like you to play ennui in G minor, if you please. How can centuries worth of music all be about emotions? No classical arrangement was ever about fucking, or beer, or fucking beer? If you want to hear a bunch of songs about emotions, listen to Pinkerton. What a gross generalization for something you claim to have such a nuanced appreciation for. Second, hundreds of unique melodies? Shostakovich probably wrote hundreds of unique melodies himself, so aren’t you underselling this part? Then again, so has Matthew Good. So that really doesn’t distinguish anything from anything. And finally, as you enjoy your empty glass full of fart, ‘written by true musical geniuses’? Have you ever considered the possibility that there is shitty classical music written by shitty composers, just as there are shitty pop songs today? Maybe, a hundred plus years on, the shit just got filtered out? And furthermore, there’s an awful lot of mediocre classical music floating around written by supposed geniuses.

It’s raining again. All this cold wet weather is kind of making me crazy, but until the sun comes out to shine again, the best we can do is throw on the rain gear and take a walk in the wet, wet woods.

Hey kids, the third and final installment of our Marriage Counseling videos is up (be sure to watch it all the way through). We have just two more performances of The Union – A Very Civil War at Donny’s Skybox, tonight is one of them. The show is at 10:30pm and we’d love to see you there!

So that every 22 year old woman will learn to suck it the fuck up, get her shit together, and deal with being drunk. So that every boyfriend a woman ever has will be spared the indignity of half-carrying her drunk ass home from a club while she acts like a dizzy cunt from hell. So that every bff will be spared the same on girls’ night out.
Look, as I’ve said before, getting drunk with your own girlfriend is just about the worst thing ever. Getting drunk with someone else’s girlfriend however, is totally awesome. And I don’t like what that says about our society.

It’s funny how things work out sometimes. I was dreading teaching today–talking about water for a 2-hr class with preschoolers? It sounded miserable. A class about sharks or tidepools or coral reefs is fun. But a whole class about water? Oh brother, I didn’t know how I would pull it off. On top of that, I was supposed to discuss the water cycle (can preschoolers even say the words precipitation, evaporation and condensation?), and the density of fresh water versus salt water. DENSITY?!

I’m also the new writer for Best Church of God, a hit satire show. I’m extremely proud to be part of this group. I first saw the show last year and the critics are right, it’s HILARIOUS. It’s a little creepy how accurate it portrays this parody of a church. I knew I had to be a part of it. Initially I’m going to be focusing on writing web content, but may expand out more from there.
