If you are a Tetris fan I think you would love having the ability to create small Tetris shaped ice cubes of your own. You could either play around with them for a short while before they melt or just put them in your juice or drink (probably a wiser decision).

They are designed by the [...]

Designer Alexei Mikhailov isn’t out to convince people his iStick concept is the perfect mobile convergence device. In fact he clearly points out the iStick isn’t for viewing movies and the screen is too small for effective photo viewing. What it does have is a visual replication of the iPhone/Touch space inside a device the [...]

The Drop Lamp combines Murano mastery and engineering in a suspended lamp that looks like a droplet of water frozen in space.

Going into the weekend I’d like to put the high-technology gadgets on hold for a while, and talk about something fun and useful at the same time - the Nubrella.As you can imagine by the name, the product is somehow related to an umbrella… With that being said, the Nubrella is a special kind of [...]

A big Keanu “whoa!” for this 400mm binoscope (binocular telescope) being built by an enterprising Frenchman. He’s spent three years on it so far. It’s not done, but it is operational. The engineering on this is gorgeous. The carriage system is almost as cool as the scope itself! There’s only one other video on YouTube, [...]

What makes a watch worth $500,000? In some cases, it’s just because its loaded up with diamonds or other valuable materials. But if there’s no bling on the watch, what can possibly make it worth half a million dollars? Anything? I say no, there is absolutely nothing that can make a watch worth that much.Those [...]

Ever wanted to feel like a fish?

Why insult your guests when they want to know what time it is? Just nonchalantly show them a quarter of the clock face and they can certainly figure out the rest. Some clocks have no numerals at all, so at least this $30 12-to-3 Wall Clock is a start.
Besides, if you’re one who likes to [...]

If you’re looking to make a good impression at your upcoming job interview or business meeting, you should find a suit that fits you well and stands out. You could just go to Macy’s and get a plain dark suit and have it tailored, or you could go a little more extreme.Might I suggest this [...]

A bare light bulb hanging down the ceiling makes a very special atmosphere. But if I ever decided to do that, I would go with these ones.

security a rubik’s cube is all you need (not really). This Color Cube allows the user to create their own color combination in lieu of the usual text based password. Whenever you need to verify your identity, just solve your rubik’s cube. The [...]

The Novint Falcon haptic controller has been out for a little while now, and from what I’ve seen, many people have a difficult time telling what it is at all, much less how it works or why on earth you’d want one. I may, in fact, have been one of those people. But slap a [...]

One of the sessions I went to today at GDC was on experimental gameplay. There were some demos of games where you could clone your character and interact with yourself, start and stop time, play through different realities simultaneously… Basically, it was an excuse for game designers to show off weird concepts which aren’t necessarily [...]
