Beach Bum, You Need To Use This Posted: 21 Jan 2010 02:25 AM PST We know the drill about keeping our beaches clean, but most often the problem is that we have these stationary bins placed few and far between. And people being people, may suddenly decide to populate a secluded section of the beach, where no bins are handy. Solution: Dustbin 4 Beach. It's this streamlined bin that can be pitched into the sand and is portable. The tapered base digs deep into the sand for stability. Line them with disposable bags and place them where the public is today! Designers: Ji-in Byun, Cho Jung Seok & Oh Seul Ki

A New Experience for Frequents Posted: 21 Jan 2010 12:10 AM PST And when I say Frequents you know I mean frequent fliers. People who make it their business to fly around the nation or around the world to do business, people who’ve got to move their body and their mind from flight to flight. The current layover situation for these people in most places in the world is just not that great. Designer Roger Kellenberger hopes to remedy that in a big, circular way. This is the Obsideon option. It’s a design made for the war-weary traveler, the business person who has just got to set their stuff somewhere safe and have a nice sit. Your boarding pass is your key. By only holding your ticket up to an Obsideon refuge. Each pod guarantees privacy with it’s dimming and closing abilities. Once inside, the user can access flight information, changes and delays. An alarm can be set for the traveler who wishes to catch a bit of shut-eye. Each pod has enough room to store the travelers carry-on luggage. Made mainly of wood. Stylish! Designer: Roger Kellenberger

What is that, a Curling Iron? Posted: 21 Jan 2010 12:01 AM PST Nay! It’s a battery charger. More importantly its a jump rope. Just fill the handles up with some rechargeable batteries, close the caps, click the button to show what you want it to show on the screen, and get to jumpin! The batteries are in the handles for two reasons: to power the screen that shows how long you’ve been jumping, and to get all pumped up! Jump and pump, pump and jump. The interface screen can show the amount of complete rotations, the potential amount of calories you’ve burned (this is basically an educated guess, obviously,) the amount of charge the batteries are at, and for good measure: a stop watch. Then jam those batteries in your other power-sucking devices! Designer: Jooyong Kim and Sungkyung Kim

Decision Before Opening Posted: 21 Jan 2010 12:01 AM PST Let me let you in on a little quote from a comedian I know: “OK you stand here. I’ll get the camera, and I’ll take a picture of the inside of the fridge and get it developed. When I come back, I’ll tape it to the frige on the outside so you’ll know what’s in there, and then you can know what you want before you get in. How’s that.” – Bill Cosby (1982.) Little did Cosby know that only about 30 years later there’d be a real solution to this problem. And here it is! Using a system that employes clear glass, opaque glass, and a rotating container system inside, you’ll never have to sit with the fridge open for hours again. You can KNOW what is in there! How, though, is that possible? Take a peek at the illustration in the first picture below. Molecules in polymer acted upon by electricity. See through! See? And not only that, the fridge is one long tube for easy turning on the inside. Just like your lunch when you worked on the docks. Then when you want what you see, you just open that particular level, allowing only the smallest amount of energy spent on cooling to be wasted in the process.
