Cut and Store In One

Posted: 08 Sep 2009 12:05 AM PDT

Joseph Joseph is renowned for coming up with the most stylish and useful kitchen tools, and the latest one in their collection is the Slice & Store Kitchen Cutting board and Knife. So is this a regular cutting board that comes in a choice of electric hues? No, the color choices are there but ain't regular, it's got this special niche on the side where you can tuck in the matching (high quality Japanese stainless steel) knife. Smart right?

Hot Tea Magic

Posted: 08 Sep 2009 12:01 AM PDT

For when you’ve got no boiling water sitting around, and no lightsaber on hand, you’ve got the “Hot-T Wand.” Yes! All of life’s greatest solutions ARE wand-based. You betcha! Faster than the ol’ HP can whip up a tea-time heat’em’up spell, you’ve got hot water. It heats only the amount of water you need, and it’s got mega-safety measures, like a water sensor to prevent foolish flailings about and whatnot.

Do you suppose it helps business with those who wish to be modernistic when you’ve got a business called “Minimal Incorporated?” I think so. Tea time. The water sensor is neat, right? It only gets hot when it hits the water. But then what happens when you pull it out? It’s got a perforated heat cover, of course!

There’s little to no chance of electrocution because of the Hot-T’s wireless nature. Then on top of that, it’s got a long life due to its “ultracapacitor energy storage technology.”

Fancy shmancy!

Molecular Telephone

Oh fabulous simplicity. Wherefor art thou, the truest form of it? Is it the newest bricks, or the never-made sculpturals without “beer compass” applications? Judge for me! This is a concept cell phone made by Tjep Design for the O2 company. It is based on the same concept as O2, the molecularity, that is. It’s a cell-cell. Get it? It’s only got a few functions, that being on and off, a telephone mode and a text mode. It’s got a number pad and even a * symbol. And a cute little tiny screen.

O2 is oxygen. Oxygen is something we humans really need to survive. What about this cell phone design? What buttons do we really need? You tell me, bucko.

Blind Stick With Eyes

Posted: 08 Sep 2009 12:00 AM PDT

It is the familiar red and white stick, but with enhanced features that make it quite a practical solution for blind commuters. The Eye Stick is fitted with a sensor lens towards the bottom part, from where it picks up location bearings, like is the person nearing a staircase, or is he near the traffic lights. It then sends feedback to the blind commuter via vibrations, communicating the scenario, so that the person can be aware of his surroundings and take his next step with confidence.
