Green eggheads and ham

I've already geeked out and picked my top 10 choices for the 2009 Green Gadgets Design Competition. What are yours?

Mon, Feb 09 2009 at 10:13 AM EST

With Greener Gadgets 2009 taking place at the end of this month, votes are rollin’ in for the Core 77-sponsored international design competition portion of the conference. The fierce competition goes down on Feb. 27 in New York City, but anyone can cast a vote for their top 10 favorite (out of the 50 finalists) green gadgets until Feb. 20.
 
With a focus on consumer electronics, not all of the entries are for use in the home. And in my humble opinion, some nearly fall into the borderline useless category. But all and all, there’s no shortage of great, innovative ideas in the running. Below are the 10 gadgets — all home-related — that I voted for.
 
To read more about Greener Gadgets 2009, check out Inhabitat’s continuing coverage, the conference's official blog, and Shea Gunther’s take on one of the more buzz-worthy entries, the Tweet-a-Watt.
