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.

Universal Language of Design

mike — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:38:33 +0000

If there ever was a time that I wished that I had taken a second language, this is one. Fortunately for me, design is a universal language and I can appreciate the aesthetics of each one of these items.
