Watch Not On My Wrist

Posted: 31 Aug 2009 01:33 AM PDT

I'd much rather wear sweatbands than a watch on my wrist while playing a sport; hence this concept watch by Max Germano makes perfect sense. It fits across the back-of-the-palm and its selling points are easy access to the dial, and a clear view to the heart-rate, stats etc. The flip-side is that it could compromise the grip of the racket or whatever it is that you are holding as the straps may interfere. However, since the watchband is made from super-soft elastomer, it just may-be comfy….I’m on the fence.

The Amazing Expander Bike!

Posted: 31 Aug 2009 12:02 AM PDT

It’s called the “Kilobike” and it’s totally magical. You can tell em I told you so. It’s designed to “expand the identity and usage of today’s kids bikes.” Made for Seed, designers at Kilo Design made this a bike to remember. If you’re from a bike family, even if you were the only one in your family to own a bike, you remember having to upgrade to a big-kid bike. It was a sad day, but no more!

This bike has the capability to expand along the years 6 to 12 years, multiple settings. Made to provide ergonomically correct conditions and “good outlook at all stages.” Goodness!

I love the blue tires the most. I had a bike with big fat red tires, it was called “The Wave.” I missed it so much that I got a BMX bike, and that’s all I ride.

Here’s a Hook Right Here

Posted: 31 Aug 2009 12:01 AM PDT

Here’s the “Here Hook!” It’s an arrow, basically just pointing to the general area of itself. It’s a coat hook. It knows exactly where you’d be precisely in the area of cool if you want to hang up your jacket. Or hat! This thang is designed by the very well-spoken Richard Shed whom we’ve also got a knicked short interview of - come on and take a look right here!

Just a bit of cleverness made in the key of timelessness. Lacquered medium-density fibreboard Wall mounted hook for any sort of medium-weight object made of a material that hangs well.

Take a peek at the video of Richard Shed below. It’s not brand new, (it’s a month old,) but due to the simplicity of the question and the answer, it could just as well have been filmed today!

Camcorder In My Palm Is Good For Left And Right Handers

Posted: 31 Aug 2009 12:00 AM PDT

Yes, the form of the camcorders has certainly toned down, but the Pioneer Hi-def seen here takes the cake. It's palm-sized, high-def, has a lens that pivots up and down with a display that is fixed at an ideal angle. What’s nice is that the form is symmetrical, so that both lefties and right-handers can use it conveniently. And since most of the controls are accessed via the touchscreen, they come alive only when required.
