2011-03-14T13:32:00.000-07:00

Been so busy with school lately, can't sacrifice time to blog as much anymore~ But now here's a mash-up of what i've found funky recently!

HeadBanger Concept

2011-01-28T13:19:00.000-08:00

CES 2011 has introduced us to many new headphones, but that's not the end. Here's another awesome Concept Design. the HeadBanger.

If this is ever gonna make it to the market, i'd like one!

What do you guys think of it?

Iphone Cookies?

2011-01-21T16:07:00.000-08:00

In japan, a 44 years old lady, Kumiko Kudo owner of the Green Gables bakery received a customer order from a customer who wants her to make an ipod shaped cookie for her husband. Just like most Obasan, Kumiko isn't so familiar with techs, so she ended up accidentally making these:

People went nuts! They are a bit larger than the real iphone itself in size. These are being sold at around $33 dollars each in japan, and Kumiko only had the ability to make 20 of these a day. Everyone, go take some bakery classes and lets make some iPad Cookies!!

Typography Video

I have no idea who made this, but this is epic. Both the Audio and the Video.

See it for yourself!

Finger Print Project

2011-01-17T15:16:00.000-08:00

Finger prints are everywhere. Kevin Van Aelst has recreated fingerprints in everyday objects in his fingerprint project. It's one of the coolest i've seen. Check it out!

E-ink Future watches

2011-01-17T15:10:00.000-08:00

E-ink technology was made famous by the Amazon Kindle eReader. It is now being used on watches to create a more energy efficient outcome. Other than that, the technology contributes greatly on the design as well. The watch is made in glossy black metal, giving it a very modern and classy feeling to the design.

Barbie's a serial killer

2011-01-12T16:53:00.000-08:00

I think almost all girls (sometimes even boys) have owned or played with a barbie doll at some point of their life. I remember when i had mine, the clothes were no where to be found when i first got the doll from a cousin. My young self could figure out what is there to 'play' with the doll, so i basically just threw it in my pile of unloved toys.

Until now, i'm all grown up and also am aware of how crazy barbie collectors could be. I STILL don't know why we need those dolls. However, i like how some people come up with all these creative ideas to do with the doll. Some would custom made clothes for them, build mini houses that look even better than our own, get it a biyfriend? (ken) All sorts of crazy things.

And now, i came across this:

Isn't this original?

When Science meets Design

2011-01-10T19:08:00.000-08:00

The Eco Power Strip revolutionized the way to charge our electronics. The magic happens when oxygen is mixed with hydrogen in bio-ethanol to create electricity. It's definitely a new concept, but do you think this could make it to our living room?

Bath Duck Kills!

2011-01-09T02:35:00.000-08:00

I came across this today, its a rubber bath duck that's designed for suicidal purposes...I guess whoever the designer was, really invented a creative yet original way for one to end their life? Of course, i hope no one would actually use this, but its a funny thing that caught my attention~ Also, you see the small red circle? You kids better not use it until you're old enough! No, fake IDs don't work! When you're old enough, you'll be smart enough to ditch the idea =]

You see? "Please make sure you have made the right decision!!"

Mustard Marvin and Count Ketchup

2011-01-07T23:08:00.000-08:00

Introducing, Mustard Marvin! He replace your mustard cap and when you squeeze the bottle, mustard would ooze out (as shown) of his mouth and make it look like he's puking! Not sure if that would kill anyone's appetite, but i think that its awesome!

Lets not forget Count Ketchup over here! Just like Mustard Marvin, he replaces the cap of the ketchup, bit instead of having ketchup coming out of his mouths, it comes out from his sexy vampire fangs!

Starbucks Celebrate 40th Anniversary with New Logo

2011-01-07T03:24:00.000-08:00

As you can see in the photo above, in 40 years the world's largest chain of coffee shops, had owned 3 logos. On the 40ths Anniversary, Starbucks decided to change their logo once again, and they're aiming for the minimalism trend. Getting rid of the "Starbucks Coffee" on the outer circle and only have the crowned lady instead. I guess Starbucks is so successful that the could give up on their branding and still have a majority people recognizing the logo. It's gonna be out quite soon, so lookout for the new cups!

Recycled Goods

2011-01-03T20:57:00.000-08:00

Damn right, everything's about Recycling now-a-days. Taking a look around my room, man, i own a lotta junk that i don't really use anymore. Many people has lots of old junks laying around in their houses, some don't get rid of em cause they just simply wanna keep it, or it's something memorable to them. And some are just simply LAZY. If you happen to have an old computer,an antique turntable or even a broken hard drive, you might wanna try this:

Front Cover of the Apple G3 computer

Bike Chain

Turntable

Hard drive

Magnetic Tape Wheel

You can purchase these on Etsy. I highly recommend this site if you like crafted goods. The creator is Pixelthis. (he likes to turn stuff into stuff)

Rotation 360

2010-12-23T22:28:00.000-08:00

Does this ever happen to you? Nowadays we have so many gadgets we just need endless outlets to keep up with our lifestyle. Don't you think your life would be much easier if you have this?

Rotation 360 is a multi-oulet socket that let you rotate them to different angles to fit the plug. Also, users can easily increase/decrease the number of sockets according to their need. It could also be color coded like its shown above. I have to admit that this is a brilliant idea!! I totally need one of those!!
