Urban cup holder clamps onto street posts

The Urban Cup Holder is a plastic clamp that attaches to street-posts, letting you set up impromptu street-parties on the sidewalk. Link (via OhGizmo)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

These are great! They are the perfect size for a seal snout or bird neck, and when you are done partying you can fling them in the ocean!
