For Sale: Nothing

21 Sep 2006

Straight to the ‘gotta keep this in mind for x-mas’ archive goes this enlightened beauty, of which I’m pretty sure some people would be really ok with finding it under their tree. Adorably simple, very marketable and so totally worth it:

Nothing

Product sales pitch:

What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant.

Indeed even old Macbeth, though mad as a kipper, realised that life, whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not forget, that ‘Nothing’ is so important that most of our universe – and the contents of a lot of people’s heads – appears to be made up of it.

It’s a statement, an empty gesture if you will, a nod at the futility of ownership, and yet despite ‘Nothing’ being nothing, it is of course packed with millions of protons, neutrons and what have you, which is pretty good for Nothing.

Yours for the humble price of $6.28

Moo

20 Sep 2006

Okay this is pretty wicked. Moo is a printing service which is also connected to Flickr. They make small cards of the pictures you select from your sets, then you can add about 6 lines of text on the back of the card. So, what they do is offer you a nice and unique way to promote yourself, your blog of your Flickr account, by using the best images you personally picked and edited in the cropping zone. Awesome. Best part is: first 10.000 Flickr Pro users can have a go for free! Try it fast, before the rest of the world finds out about it!

Moo

Pro Flickr users can try out a set of 10 cards for free (if they’re part of the first 10.000), otherwise it’s going to cost you $ 19.99 for 100 cards.

Daddle Saddle

12 Jun 2006

A hilarious feature, and a must have for all dads across the world (you, you, you & others). It’s time to saddle yourself up!

“Cashel’s Daddle: A soft, stuffed “saddle” for Dad (or Mom) to strap on, to give the give kids (age 2-6) a horsy ride. Offering interactive fun for kids and adults, the Daddle™ is made of washable sturdy cotton, complete with soft saddle horn and adjustable stirrups.”

Heh, I wish they invented this back when I was a kid! How come the good stuff is always being invented when it’s too late for me to enjoy it?

A 16Gig USB Credit Card

27 Apr 2006

Cool gadget from PQI, about the size of a normal credit card but with a whopping storage 16 Gb. This small toy is USB 2.O/1.1 compatible and fits for Mac & PC. It’s 3mm thin, and measures 85×54mm. It doesn’t need external power and stores any type of date you want it to store. How very nifty!

U 510

Grammatically I’d have switched ‘just’ and ‘not’, but umm… it’s not about the words.

Keyboard Sneakers

25 Apr 2006

Following the meme of AZERTY Jewelry, some geeky designer came up with these keyboard sneakers of which I must say they look pretty funky. The sneakers were presented at the 14th International Clothing & Accessories Fair in Beijing, China. What a way to recycle that old keyboard. DIY tip: good way to get through a rainy day. :)

This kind of technology is very welcome in my future house. This is a HQ television, inside a mirror. The screen is totally blended and is only visible when it’s active.
