Braille Burger

mike — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:29:39 +0000

Forget special sauce as the best part of a burger, look at what burger chain Wimpy has done to the bun.

Until now, smelling and tasting were the only two things a blind person could do before eating, but now that has changed. Each bun is baked with a sesame seed message on top that can be read by blind patrons.

Food design, you’ve gotta love it!

Waterproof Electronics

Liquipel has saturated the market for waterproofing your electronic devices. This product says it will shield your device and its interior components from moisture, and give you peace of mind every time you walk past a sink, hot tub or pool. For $59, I think I might be compelled to give it a shot.

Unique Design: Buttons Galore

mike — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:03:37 +0000

Augusto Esquivel has taken an ordinary object, and has changed its purpose from functional to aesthetic. Some people see buttons as a means to fasten shirt collars and jackets, but Esquivel sees them as an atom of a molecule. By tediously stringing thousands of buttons together, he has created floating objects such as a piano, a grandfather clock and even Edison’s phonograph.

Daytime Fireworks Display

Sometimes timing is everything and, in this case, it is in the middle of the afternoon. This video of fireworks displays in Qatar shows what it looks like to see a full color array of smoke (0:55) as well as a very contrasting burst of black (1:33) all under the sun.

TIVOLI of COPENHAGEN

mike — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 13:29:38 +0000

Walt Disney was inspired by many people and many things throughout his life, many of which is replicated in all that he did. He is known to have modeled Disneyland after Tivoli, an amusement park and pleasure Garden in Copenhagen built in 1843.

Home to a concert hall, amusement rides, performance art and nighttime fireworks, this wonderland is the perfect destination if you ever make it to Scandinavia.
