Though it is not new, the “wow” factor of this paint is still spreading like ripples in a pond. Chalkboard magnetic paint makes any surface, well, a chalkboard or magnetic surface. At a pricey $35 for 16 ounces, or 12.5 square feet, you probably won’t go out and paint your whole house with it, but it would be great for jazzing up your kid’s room or kitchen cabinets. Imagine the possibilities!
3M Canada hosted a design competition and the above are the winning entries, both from students of the Ontario College of Art and Design. The Scotch tape dispenser and post-it note dispensers were awarded the grand prize of actually going into production for the 2010 line of office products. I am in awe at how simple, yet clever the tape dispenser design is. Bravo to the winners!
This image is cool for two reasons. For one, the aesthetics. Vivid oranges and yellows, the whimsical patterns and trance-like spiral on the left. Secondly, it is the path of our robotic friend, the Roomba. Taken over the course of 30 minutes, blogger Signaltheorist used long-exposure photography to capture light and motion to create an art form. Nice work.
This wireless surge protector switch takes the chore out of conserving energy. Simply assign your electronic devices to the ‘always on’ or ‘can be powered down’ ports of this surge protector. Then, the next time you leave home, all you have to do is use the wireless switch that you mount next to your light switch to save on your electric bill. Simply brilliant!
After stumbling across this video, yeah, I thought it was funny. And yes, it has a good beat. I am seeing a formula here, though: good product + famous spokesman + good beat = huge sales (or at least a lot of online traffic). After seeing so many “as seen on” products and almost becoming numb to their format, I thought this was a pretty fresh approach that should be used for every infomercial from here on out.
