| Posted: 29 May 2009 02:26 AM PDT Really Smart eh? Can you recall all your recipes by heart; tell me exactly how many calories are there in the dish that you are preparing; the amount of protein, cholesterol in it; are the ingredients fresh enough? NO!! NO!! You're not a SMART Chef then. Actually you never can be, coz then you'd be this computer with an intelligent cutting board and integrated scale. The wise guy here can connect with local farmers and farmer’s markets to help you procure the seasonal produce. It can even help you share recipes, formulate diet plans etc. The unit is made up of a bamboo surfaced cutting board element containing the SmartChef’s computing and food scanning hardware, while a portable touch-screen tablet provides a kitchen-safe interface that can travel throughout the kitchen and home. Technology has invaded our kitchens and smart refrigerators and ovens are a proof of it. Envisioning a smart cutting board is not too far fetched, it's just the question of us accepting and getting used to it. I know there are several issues that need to be addressed, like juices that come out of the veggies that we cut and how will an electronic board tackle that. With such similar issues resolved, I'm sure some Smart company will see the potential and come up with the apt board. Designer: Kaiju Studios     |
| French People, This is Your Car Circa 2037 Posted: 29 May 2009 02:13 AM PDT In 2037, 70% of the French population will live in urban areas. The Nervastella concept provides the means to respond to the impulsive urge to escape, to disappear with reckless abandonment. But it also captivates the concept of luxury, possessing values that are synonymous with excellence. The integration of a living environment at the front evokes a continuation of home, while the separation between the cockpit and luggage compartment confers a noble and luxurious tone to the journey.

| Posted: 29 May 2009 02:10 AM PDT Well here is a novel concept. The Expansion Loudspeakers are a set or rings docked to a base station connected to a computer via USB. Each ring contains its own power source enabling you to take them anywheree. The idea isn’t exactly new. There are several wireless speaker docks on the market but none with cuff-like wearability. Knowing me, I’d probably wear all of them to become a human boom box. FYI, I do not think putting one around your cat would be wise. Hit the jump to see what I mean.

| Posted: 29 May 2009 01:58 AM PDT Advance computer rendered imagery have become sort of a double-edge sword for us designers. On the one hand it enables visual comps with unparalleled realism. On the other hand the technical mastery of such imagery is a challenge - that is until you throw in the advent of high dynamic range lighting provided you can find good sources. Bunkspeed just launched a ginaormous library of royalty free HDRI images for all your rendering needs. Sign up, buy some credits, download, and watch your creative work take a giant step forward.

| Posted: 29 May 2009 01:39 AM PDT Look around you computer. You probably have one too many cables strung about and a few more dangling off your desk. Some of us have come up with creative ways to keep them in place but for a measly $9.95, you can keep them in check without resorting to tape or ugly twist ties. The Bluelounge CableDrop comes in multi-colored packs of 6 with adhesive backs. They are uniquely shaped to hold everything from cables to pens. Skies the limit really. Designer: Bluelounge     |
| Posted: 29 May 2009 12:00 AM PDT It's a good thing you learnt about planets in school; otherwise this Torbit Time-Orbit Watch Concept would have gone over your head. Apparently its been totally inspired by the fascinating movents of planets in their orbit. "The digital numbers on the annular panel display indicates time while moving clockwise around the circumference of the display; also corresponding to the position of where the hands on a traditional watch would have been." For me, it's just a cool looking watch that craves for a SWATCH branding. Designer: Evan Yiwei Ma     |
