Crucify My Love

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 01:03 AM PDT

For quite a while I used to believe that infidelity is a state of mind. This was till I realized that porn and men are like inseparable and therefore every man would be a fantasizing infidel! Better than putting a leash on your partner and curbing natural instincts, is the set of TooRings that "Fix Your Love". The set consists of 4 rings that represent practical advice of tightening your relationship, not screwing it up, smoothing the rough patches and building bridges.

The rings are:

Hexagon: a 5mm inner hexagon spanner
Always remember tightening your relationship…

Cruciform: a cruciform screw driver
Never screw up your relationship with loved one…

#1: a number 1 file
Smoothen your relationship with care when necessary

3CM: a 30mm ruler
By doing all these you two will be closer than 30mm!

The Pitch of The Pitcher

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PDT

The Pitch♪er. Can you see that little musical note? I hope you can, because that’s what’s up here. Music. See the pitcher (or the glass, or the tin,) or anything else that contains liquid and works in this way: flick the container with your finger. It makes a sound. Drink some of the liquid, and flick it again. It makes a different sound. How does this work into a plan for another unique “Mactastic” invention? Look ahead!

There is noone quite like Mac Funamizu. He can churn out wild quality ideas like they’re so many candy bits from a bag. The Pitch♪er works like any other pitcher except for the tuning bar handle and the mallet which strikes the bar.

As you can see in the simple chart below, the higher the liquid level, the higher the note. If the liquid is gone, the note is low!

The Airplane Seat

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PDT

The everlasting enigma. How do you satisfy hundreds and thousands of plane passengers who are very, very unsatisfiable. These people travel back, and forth, and back, and forth! And then there’s the people who ride first class! We won’t worry about them. This seat is for the everyperson. This seat is adjustable and comfortable and it looks truly simple.

It’s gotta be so nice that the passenger doesn’t even take a second thought of it. Check out that nicely placed control panel there: lift and lower for lumbar! Combinations of leg support for those danglers in your life! Backbone tilter for sitting upright or backdown! And the best part: the full-stand position for easy entering and exiting of the lovely and lucky airplane.

Picasso Can Draw To Switch-off Lights

Posted: 04 Sep 2009 12:00 AM PDT

So what if your drawing sucks, the JustDrawIt unit won't mind; it will in fact help to manage the power supply to the various household equipments hooked on to it. How? A main device and several remote-controlled receivers visualize the service life of your synced electrical appliances. A haptic interface allows you to hand-draw on the timeline-based main unit, defining the period of usage. When the time’s up, the equipment will be automatically turned off. Oh shoot! Just One Thing…you can't misplace the pen now!

Sony PSi aka Playstation Interactive

Posted: 03 Sep 2009 07:36 AM PDT

Sony unveiled their motion control intentions at this year’s E3 game expo so designer Anh Nguyen must be riding the same wavelength because his PSi concept also features wand-like motion controllers. The console leaves a little something to be desired but the wands are very interesting. You can stack the wands for various games like tug-o-war or add weights if you insist on the video game fitness craze going on right now. If Anh wants to really impress, he better come up with renders showing the wands as light sabers and disrupters. PEW PEW!

Bottling Water With A Surprise

Posted: 03 Sep 2009 07:27 AM PDT

Did you know 77% of the world’s plastic bottles end up in landfills? That amounts to tens of metric tons of waste every  year. If recycling isn’t the only answer, maybe we need to think of  new ways to extend the lives of these bottles. Seeds in the Bottle is a project by designer Yun Hwan Sung with a little surprise in each package. Tiny herb seeds are stored inside a pocket you release into the bottle when you’re done with it. Invert the bottle, fill with potting mix, water and instead of filling up landfills, you have an herb garden.
