Pink Terror
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Here’s an excellent contender to both the slow-mo dogs and exploding banana face. More importantly, I just really want my friend Daniel Ivan to see this. Because if anyone would understand, it would be him. There you go, Daniel. Enjoy your freakin’ art!
Seriously though, you all should watch it too. Mostly because exploding watermelons, slow [...]
Fruit Slide!
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Ah! Fruit! Just what I needed! You know, this is very much like that apple-a-day calendar. Except more space efficient and it comes with a busty girl. Okay, maybe the busty girl isn’t included. That’s fine, I don’t really have room for her anyway and these bills have been steep enough lately that I don’t [...]
Funbrella – Fun, I guess…
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Rain is nice and all, and sure, there’s a special feeling that goes alone with standing under an umbrella during a little shower, but it’s not really something I ever think about on a sunny day. Probably because it’s a sunny day. And probably because I rarely use an umbrella. Probably because I don’t have [...]
Off With Your Head Necklace
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009There’s always a risk to wrapping something around your neck, even if it is a necklace. But something that clearly indicates a dotted line to cut across? Hey man, it’s your neck. Do what you want. I, however, will be passing on this piece. I’ve just never been that into Anne Boleyn and I’m kind [...]
Straw Wheel
Monday, December 21st, 2009Do you like straws? Of course you do! Who doesn’t? Straw haters, that’s who. Anyway, Deok-geun Han’s Last Straw concept has upgraded the convenience of straws from pretty convenient to hey, that’s super convenient. Not only does it save storage space by flattening the straw, but you can cut your own desired length depending on [...]

Pop-Up Office
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009A pop-up office? Oh man, that totally beats a pop-ups of scary phobias. Sorry, Pop-Up Book Of Phobias. Now if you’ll just give me one second to pack up my laptop and put on my jacket I’ll be right there to utilize this snazzy design and… Hey! Hey wait! What are you doing!? Why are [...]
Dissolving Plastic Bag
Sunday, October 25th, 2009Well would you look at that. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought that plastic bag/cover was actually dissolving in water. Oh wait, it totally is! According to Creative Review, the November issue to hit magazine stands will be covered in a special plastic wrap created by Cyberpac that dissolves in hot [...]
Oh Shit! Kits
Sunday, October 11th, 2009Life is full of surprises and sometimes shit happens. Before 5 minutes ago I probably would have told you there’s nothing you can do about it, but now, 5 minutes later, I have learned that yes, you can prepare yourself for shit. That is if it’s one of these 3 shits. The Oh Shit! Kit [...]
The Middle Seat Plate
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Dining at the crack always sucks. While that statement stands for all cracks, I’m specifically referring to the one you find yourself sitting at once or twice a year. But have no fear, you can finally stop resenting your friends and relatives for not having a bigger table with the Plate For People Who Sit [...]
Shacklies Prevent Umbrella Theft
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Umbrellas are pretty great. Definitely an item we take for granted. That is until some jerk steals it from us. What gives? We just didn’t want to track all this water into the place and you up and steal our shit? Curse you! Moving on. There has to be a solution to umbrella theft and [...]
Parachute-ish Skirt Makes Jumping Out Of a Building And Into A River Depeche Mode
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009Get it? Fast fashion? Oh, forget you. Yeah, I’ll end up posting a music video anyway.
Now despite my intense fear of dark waters, I could probably put the Evacuation Skirt to use… during a/the zombie apocalypse. Hey, you never know. There might be two. And if I need to jump ship from a cruise of [...]
Mistakes
Friday, July 24th, 2009People make mistakes. Some people make a lot of mistakes. And some people make more mistakes than accomplishments. For those people there’s the Mistake pencil by Tom Wrigglesworth and Mat Robinson. Because in today’s society, there’s no such thing as too many do-overs.

The Breakable Plate
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Breaking plates sucks. Wait, allow me to reword that: Breaking plates that you like and/or need sucks. That’s why designer Alexander Hulme came up with the “Breakable” plate, a plate that breaks into two upon destruction. Sure there are plenty of kinks to iron out in this concept, like the danger of sharp jagged edges [...]
Bumper Stickers For The Sole
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009Unless pigeons can read, these bumper stickers for your shoes might make you look like you were dumpster diving at a sticker factory. You know, that suddenly sounds like a great idea. Quick, to the closest motivational sticker factory! I plan on scoring big on some defective gold stars.
Seriously though, I posted this for the [...]
i.Saw – A Statement, Not A Product
Thursday, July 9th, 2009Remember the i.Saw from two days ago? Well, I just got an update about my pre-order (yes, I pre-ordered it) and well, read for yourselves:
Hello.
We love that you liked the i.Saw enough to pre-order.

The Outlet Wall
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009David Friedman of the Ironic Sans blog has taken a big step towards embracing the cords that fill our homes whether or not we can successfully hide them with the Outlet Wall concept. I must say, there’s nothing really unpleasant about looking at a wall completely covered in outlets and well, if you disagree, you [...]
For When You Really Like Looking At Someone…
Sunday, May 31st, 2009Seeing eye to eye with someone has never been so… awkward. Seriously, there are plenty of handsome devils I’d be willing to plant a smooch on, but staring at each other from a total distance of 2 millimeters sounds super uncomfortable. You know that tingly feeling you get when someone almost touches your nose but [...]
