OLA folding table.

Richard — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:31:20 +0000

Leave it to a couple of designers from Sweden to reinvent the folding table. This table is understated and very cleanly designed. I’ll take two!

These earplugs look pretty cool. They only block noise above a certain loudness, while letting you hear conversation and regular sounds just fine.

Crumpled City Maps will hopefully be available for lots of places soon, not just the big cities.. it’s a pretty cool way to manage using a full-size map.

That Guy is a hilarious website where you can browse pictures of guys who have been in lots of movies, but who aren’t very famous, so you see them and recognize them, but can never remember their name.

So sorry about the lack of posts lately! Life has gotten pretty crazy. More normal updates to resume shortly.

Glitch.

Richard — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:22:56 +0000

Once upon a time, a few people got together to create an online game called Game Neverending. Many people loved it, but it never really took off. However, all was not lost. The photo-sharing part of the app was turned into a little service called Flickr, which eventually became rather large, very popular, and was sold to Yahoo for 30 million. Eventually, the founders of Flickr left Yahoo, and have been pretty silent for awhile. Just yesterday, though… they announced that they’ve come full circle, and have been busy building an online game called Glitch. I’m super-excited about this. It looks like it’s going to be an awesome game! And just think… even if it isn’t successful (by all accounts it will be, though!), maybe it’ll produce another great app as a by-product.

Rainy Mood.

Richard — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:01:24 +0000

Sometimes the best websites are the simplest. If rain puts you in a good, relaxed mood, Rainy Mood is the perfect site for you. It’s a 15 minute long loop of rainy weather that sounds real and blends into the background of your work environment, especially with good speakers. I love it.

split stick.

This seems like a pretty neat twist on the ol’ USB key. Split Stick has two switchable sides, with a 4GB flash drive on each, so you can physically keep your work and play files separate.

Waffleizer.

Richard — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:51:23 +0000

Every now and then I decide that I want a waffle iron and then talk myself out of it because I don’t even really like waffles, I just like the way that they look/smell. Waffleizer might be changing that for me, though. It’s a collection that will eventually contain 30 different recipes for things that you can make in/on a waffle iron which aren’t necessarily waffles. Looks fun and potentially useful!

LucyPhone.

Richard — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:00:38 +0000

LucyPhone seems like a great solution to that problem we’ve all had where we call a company and are immediately put on hold to “wait for the next available representative”. It flips the script on that sort of phone call and gets customer service to wait on you.

You sign up for an account, input the number that you want to call, add your own phone number, and Lucyphone takes over. First it calls your phone, then connects the call to that number. You then proceed as normal, selecting your menu options. When you get to the point where you’re put on hold, you press * * and your phone is disconnected. When a human gets on the line and is ready to speak to you, your phone rings. Great!
