Back again~

Been so busy with school lately, can't sacrifice time to blog as much anymore~ But now here's a mash-up of what i've found funky recently!

HeadBanger Concept

CES 2011 has introduced us to many new headphones, but that's not the end. Here's another awesome Concept Design. the HeadBanger.

 

If this is ever gonna make it to the market, i'd like one!

What do you guys think of it?

 

Iphone Cookies?

In japan, a 44 years old lady, Kumiko Kudo owner of the Green Gables bakery received a customer order from a customer who wants her to make an ipod shaped cookie for her husband. Just like most Obasan, Kumiko isn't so familiar with techs, so she ended up accidentally making these:

 

 People went nuts! They are a bit larger than the real iphone itself in size. These are being sold at around $33 dollars each in japan, and Kumiko only had the ability to make 20 of these a day. Everyone, go take some bakery classes and lets make some iPad Cookies!!

Typography Video

I have no idea who made this, but this is epic. Both the Audio and the Video.



See it for yourself!

Finger Print Project

Finger prints are everywhere. Kevin Van Aelst has recreated fingerprints in everyday objects in his fingerprint project. It's one of the coolest i've seen. Check it out!

E-ink Future watches

E-ink technology was made famous by the Amazon Kindle eReader. It is now being used on watches to create a more energy efficient outcome. Other than that, the technology contributes greatly on the design as well. The watch is made in glossy black metal, giving it a very modern and classy feeling to the design.

Barbie's a serial killer

I think almost all girls (sometimes even boys) have owned or played with a barbie doll at some point of their life. I remember when i had mine, the clothes were no where to be found when i first got the doll from a cousin. My young self could figure out what is there to 'play' with the doll, so i basically just threw it in my pile of unloved toys. 

Until now, i'm all grown up and also am aware of how crazy barbie collectors could be. I STILL don't know why we need those dolls. However, i like how some people come up with all these creative ideas to do with the doll. Some would custom made clothes for them, build mini houses that look even better than our own, get it a biyfriend? (ken) All sorts of crazy things. 

And now, i came across this:

 

Isn't this original?

When Science meets Design

The Eco Power Strip revolutionized the way to charge our electronics. The magic happens when oxygen is mixed with hydrogen in bio-ethanol to create electricity. It's definitely a new concept, but do you think this could make it to our living room?

Bath Duck Kills!

 

I came across this today, its a rubber bath duck that's designed for suicidal purposes...I guess whoever the designer was, really invented a creative yet original way for one to end their life? Of course, i hope no one would actually use this, but its a funny thing that caught my attention~ Also, you see the small red circle? You kids better not use it until you're old enough! No, fake IDs don't work! When you're old enough, you'll be smart enough to ditch the idea =]

You see? "Please make sure you have made the right decision!!"

Mustard Marvin and Count Ketchup

 Introducing, Mustard Marvin! He replace your mustard cap and when you squeeze the bottle, mustard would ooze out (as shown) of his mouth and make it look like he's puking! Not sure if that would kill anyone's appetite, but i think that its awesome!

Lets not forget Count Ketchup over here! Just like Mustard Marvin, he replaces the cap of the ketchup, bit instead of having ketchup coming out of his mouths, it comes out from his sexy vampire fangs!

Starbucks Celebrate 40th Anniversary with New Logo

 

 As you can see in the photo above, in 40 years the world's largest chain of coffee shops, had owned 3 logos. On the 40ths Anniversary, Starbucks decided to change their logo once again, and they're aiming for the minimalism trend. Getting rid of the "Starbucks Coffee" on the outer circle and only have the crowned lady instead. I guess Starbucks is so successful that the could give up on their branding and still have a majority people recognizing the logo. It's gonna be out quite soon, so lookout for the new cups!

The Cassette

 

Heres a retro Cassette tape Case for the Iphone4 from iCover4u. Its a silicone made to provide additional grip, and its a slime fit case designed just for the Iphone4. The price is also pretty good, knowing that there's some insanely pricey cases out there. This is sold for $19.99 @ iCover4u.

Designer Paper Wallets

 

Want a wallet that's light in weight and also light on your wallet? PaperWallet launched this simple yet complex design of paper wallets. If you're thinking "what if i tear it? what if it got wet?" Well, they'll proudly tell you that the special paper that they used are tear and water resistant. Since its paper, its 100% recyclable. This cost around $20, pretty reasonable price to me, and they offer the wallet in different designs or a choice of solid color. Head over to PaperWallet if you're interested in one!
