One iRing to Rule Them All?
The iPod has singlehandedly created an onslaught of additional gadgets into our market. While the vast majority of them have been equally or lesser stylish than the white brick, some ideas are simply intriguing…especially conceptual ones like Victor Soto’s iRing.
It’s a Bluetooth device that controls the playback functions of whatever iPod or IPhone it’s [...]
Small Talk With a Web Designer
This flow chart titled ‘Small Talk With a Web Designer’ comes straight from The Man in Blue in response to Jason Santa Maria’s ‘Explain Yourself‘ article on the notion of the title “Graphic Designer” as it applies to web design.
Having been a fan of Jason’s websites before, and seeing his work at Happy Cog (based [...]

In any case this fantastic 8.5×6.5″ tin sign is back in stock at ThinkGeek. You can hang it, you can set it up on its own using its easel, or you can use it [...]

John Nouanesing’s Concept Table
There are conceptual designs, and there are tables designed by French designer John Nouanesing. It only takes 5 seconds to figure out how this table could work (it’s not real or for sale..just yet) but that surely doesn’t take away from how fracking badass it looks. Avid watchers of Showtime’s Dexter may begin to salivate [...]
WANT: Space Invader Cutting Board
Fact: I like cooking. If I didn’t already own 16 different cutting boards I would buy this in a heartbeat. Actually Meg would kill me if she knew I spent $129.99 for a cutting board. Regardless, it’s motherfrackin’ SPACE INVADERS.
I highly recommend that you get one of these, Eric. It would match your cubicle nicely…not [...]
Eric Therner’s Pilen Concept Bicycle
So it’s officially Summer in Philadelphia! It seems to me that everyone and their mother is riding a bike to get around town, and rightly so (Bikes don’t run on gasoline). I’ve been shopping around for a solid set of wheels myself. Something light, good looking, and won’t ruin my manly parts. Granted, I’m not [...]
