Desk phones are cool agian.

2010-04-08T13:59:00.001+02:00

Last year I gave up my landline. No more traditional phone, just an iPhone. I've never looked back. Never regretted it, not once. If I ever want that desk phone feeling I can.

Polaroid, back from the dead.

2010-03-22T20:21:00.001+01:00

I'm loving Polaroid all over again. Fantastic package design for such an iconic product. Anything less would not have worked.

TV Posters

2010-01-06T14:38:00.001+01:00

Fantastic TV posters. All my favourite TV's show's in stylised poster form by Albert Exergian. I might get the Magnum one!

Adobe (punching) pillow's

Get yourself a nice Adobe pillow at MySuiteStuff so you can have nightmares of bloated UI's

Sticky phone

2009-12-03T12:23:00.001+01:00

Solar Powered Sticker Phone by Liu Hsiang-Ling is something you just know you're gonna lose because how often do you stick something to a window to charge it? On the other hand it would be very cool as a speaker phone when stuck to a window. Fly on a window sort of thing.

Stuff for the apartment

2009-09-14T14:27:00.001+02:00

I must say I really like the design of these. Very simple and yet the details make it work.

Follow That Truck!

2009-08-13T16:43:00.001+02:00

Ever stare at the back of a truck. I'm sure you never thought of taking pictures of them. Unless it was at Mardi Gras.

Stealth MacBook Pro

2009-07-03T14:01:00.001+02:00

This is what I want for x-mas, a ColorWare Limited Edition Stealth MacBook Pro.

Mat black finish (smudge resistant material), solid state drive and best of all a mat screen! It's only $6000, so... well... maybe not. The stealth bit is that they're selling only ten of them so you'll never ever see one.

PMS my Cube!

2009-06-17T14:55:00.001+02:00

PMS is still kinda funky when it comes to everyday design items. So a PMS Rubiks Cube should be just the ticket.

Don't run with scissors!

Best tattoo ever! When in doubt cut along the dotted line! Ouch!

Is one fridge enough?

2009-06-04T13:30:00.001+02:00

Something tells me that I'll need more than just the one.

Do you want fries with that?

2009-05-27T12:42:00.001+02:00

It's kina cool as long as I don't try to force these Salt&Pepper Cells into a hand mixer.

Clever logo's

2009-05-19T16:54:00.001+02:00

We've seen clever logo's like this 'yoga australia' before. The FedEx hidden arrow is a famous and familiar one but I missed the Amazon A to Z smile.

Naim Audio wonder

2009-05-18T21:07:00.001+02:00

I'm a bit of a minor HiFi head. I don't gaga and spend tens of thousands of euros on the latest and greatest. However, I do have a very nice Naim integrated amplifier. Which I'm still very very happy with. Well, until I came across Naim Audio's NaimUniti.
So what's do you get for about 2.300 euro?

Amp based on NAIT 5i
CD transport based on CD5i
DAC that was originally built for the CD5x
DAB/FM tuner
WiFi file streaming (UPnP)
USB
Digital Inputs: 5 SPDIF (2*optical, 2*coaxial, 1*3.5mm jack)
Ethernet and iPod connectors
2x50WPC into 8Ω
Sub output (2 Mono outputs via RCA)
Red Book CD audio
Internet radio (WMA, MP3 Streams, MMS)
MP3, AAC (up to 320 kbps, CBR/VBR)
WAV, FLAC, OGG Vorbis

Sign me up on the waiting list. This can't possibly be a bad buy!

Family and other animals

2009-05-13T19:33:00.001+02:00

I love photoblogs. Easy reading and more often that not great foto's. Awkward Family Photos is no exception. Flick through some of the posts but not to many. You'll run the risk of losing your faith in humanity. If you've been following this blog for while you may already have.

Lazy, but cool.

2009-05-13T14:30:00.001+02:00

Now, I'm not one for bikes. But they do represent some cool shit on the design front. As does this Ultra Motor A2B Electric Bicycle. I just love those fat tires!

Once a good logo now a devastating one. When Bad Things Happen to Good Logos. Leave those kids alone!

Folding bikes are for geeks

2009-05-03T20:51:00.001+02:00

Well, except for this one. Despite living in the Netherlands I don't use my bike that much. If I were in the market for a new one this one would certainly on my list.

Oh me, oh my an OLED MacBook Pro

2009-04-22T15:28:00.001+02:00

LG insider points to Apple OLED notebook. Now if this were true I'd sign up in a second. I'd rather see an OLED in an iMac. But an OLED would actually produce a laptop screen that beats the pants off of anything else. Viewing angle? What viewing angle?

Personally I'd think that if they did do this the OLED would make its way into the MacBook Air. With a 15 inch screen? The Air's higher/exclusive price point would also make it a more cost effective fit.

Blue tea?

2009-03-12T11:16:00.001+01:00

Pantone Storage Jars, for that designer/chef in your house. But why not pick a more relavant colour for tea? It's not called Pantone colour Matching System for nothing!

The newpaper is dead, long live the newspaper, on Kindle

2009-03-11T12:53:00.001+01:00

Yahoo's news article;The 10 Major Newspapers That Will Either Fold or Go Digital Next. It seems slightly ironic that Yahoo would post a Time article about the probable demise of some notable brick and mortar newpapers.
Also funny that I'd now like to get my hands on a Kindle type device.

MacOS iPhone Project

2009-03-10T13:58:00.001+01:00

If you're a geek then you must have MacOS 7 on your iPhone. I'm not sure it can run Quark XPress. There must be a Commodore c64 emulator for iPhone somewhere!? Anybody?
