These new kits from Lego combine two of my favorite things: Lego and paper crafting.
MUJI partners with iconic building-block company Lego on a super fun new concept. Together they're encouraging us to think outside the blocks ... by punching Lego-sized holes in paper... Available November 27th at MUJI Japan - just in time for the Holiday season. US and European MUJI locations have yet to confirm stock.
I'll be coveting these until they reach the States! [via @allthingspaper]
It first surfaced last week, but today Peek officially announced the availability of the TwitterPeek, a version of their handheld device designed exclusively for accessing and publishing content on Twitter. Now Twitter power users might find the device a bit limiting since the lack of a web browser prevents you from following links, and the lack of a camera prevents you from uploading your own photos, but you can pretty much do everything else including viewing twitpic images, following other Twitterers and posting replies or direct messages.
At the moment the TwitterPeek is available in a $99.99 version that includes 6 months of service followed by a $7.95 per month fee, or the previously rumored $199.99 version that includes a lifetime of service.
The project Bee House, created by the Irish designer James Ennis, is the winner of the European Design Award for a sustainable present, assigned by an international jury that examined over 100 works.
This project organised by the EESC is the first “green public procurement” project of a European institution.
“United in diversity, living with the bio diversity” was the winning design concept behind “Bee house”, which consisted of a box with windows that had flowers and was actually a room for bees. This highlighted the importance of the vital role of bees in food production and life in particular.
"A small TeslaCoil fully made of acrylic plastic. The cool thing about this is that every part is transparent. This coil is driven by the power supply of my large DC Teslacoil. Total height 44cm, max output voltage +- 380.000 Volts (57cm arc length)."
Spy cameras can be everywhere these days. As simple as Pringles tin, wall socket and now a tissue box, can have a spy camera concealed in it without your notice at all. How easy if someone just purposely want to set you up using just a little tissue box.
The Spy Cam Tissue Box comes included with a 2GB SD card that can store the recorded footage. If that is not sufficient, you can have it upgraded up to 16GB. The camera itself is capable of recording up to 720×480 pixels resolution at 30fps, the kind of quality that is clear enough to show your big butt moving!
The device is powered by a rechargeable battery that allows it to record video continuously for up to 6 hours after a full charge. It’s an expensive gear, one of these will run you $599. If the price isn’t a matter, it could probably be used to gather proof whether your colleagues have snatched some snacks off your desk.
