| I'm not sure I wish these designs existed. Billy May's Hindsight seems like a good idea, but I think the brain's visual cortex has its hands full processing what your eyes see as is. I'm not sure you can add more information just by using lenses, shift it maybe, change the view, but I don't think your brain will process more. You're probably better off driving slowly and paying attention. Thomas J. Owen's folding bicycle looks extremely uncomfortable, and a lot of people I work with are bikers and they all keep their bikes in the cubicles and in their cars, bikes are already pretty small, do you really need them any smaller? Juke Brick by Yon-U Cho - not for me, plain old speakers are good enough for me. And audiophiles... does to the Juke Brick come with monster cables? How is Diego Moreno's stool different from any other rotating chair? Is it better for your back, like those ball chairs? Nope, but it looks cool! If I was 12 I would totally want one. Paint or die also looks cool, not very practical, I can't imagine moving it or putting much weight on it, or not constantly running into it's legs. But again, if I was 12 I'd want it. An electronic musical instrument by Petr Hampl - it's like a theremin only not original. IC3 High tech cutlery - it's like a spork, a digital spork! PEBBLES stone grill - it's an electric grill for your cubicle or your lap, because you can never have enough burning electric heat in your lap. Sand+Time watch - the creative design pool runeth dry. Magic Spheres wall - neat! Lane Light - I want one. Flying Stick Camera - because your pictures are never too shaky. Dual Music mp3/CD - imagine yourself at a future archaeology dig, naturally you're digging in a landfill, someone comes across a CD, one of those ancient Frisbee sized ones. And you can listen to it right then and there, awesome! Toast Messenger - Post it notes not doing it for you, do you have too much money? If so, then we've got a toaster for you. Sorry about the buzzkill list everyone, but blogs with lists of things just rub me the wrong way. |
