In keeping with the decidedly violent tone of my previous post, here’s something I dug up while surfing trough Soldier of Fortune Online www.notcot.org (one of my favourite user-powered design blogs, which I assure you has no plans for military takeover of any kind): a foldout submachine gun. The Magpul FMG-9 is a lightweight package […]

Get basic and go postmodern at the same time with Lomographic’s latest Green Holga Camera Starter Kit with built-in flash. This starter kit includes “Mes Vacances Avec Holga” (“The World through a Plastic Lens”) photo book by Fred Lebain, 1 roll of medium format film, 2 AA batteries, multilingual instructions, poster, and 1 roll of […]

Google’s always prided itself on being a fun bunch of Silicon Valley hippy multi-billionaires, and their silly little promo projects flaunt this unflappable commitment to being dorks every time. Google’s popular Gmail service has been running at third place behind Microsoft’s Hotmail and Yahoo’s Yahoo!Mail for a bit now, but they’re #1 in my book […]

Fashion giant Diesel took the concept of a runway fashion show and merged it with CGI and holographic wizardry to come up with a pret-a-porter display of dazzling proportions at the Pitti Immagine Uomo fair in Florence. Working with director Wilbert Das, Spanish animation studio Devin and Danish multimedia production agency Vizoo, this Diesel […]

Second Life. If the name sounds unfamiliar to you, you’ve only managed to scrape the bare surface of the Internet. Arguably the fastest, most immersive online experience there is (and I say experience because it’s not a game, it’s not a social networking site, it’s not an auction service - it’s all of those things […]

He’s one of the few hip hop DJs to truly cross over into pop territory, but Clinton Sparks never lets on. The man behind the satellite-broadcast Smash Time Radio show and the oft-heard “Get Familiar!” tagline is a laugh riot of Tiananmen Square proportions. Sure, that analogy wasn’t all that appropriate, but then again neither […]

Behold, The Ring. This high-concept, wall-hung porcelain fruit bowl is meant to invoke an updated ideal of a classic still-life painting of fruit. Er yeah okay sure. The only thing I want to know is, how do I fit watermelons into this thing?

Few things create as much tech buzz as a brand new product from Apple, Inc. (Not Apple Computer, Inc., mind you. They’ve just dropped the “Computer” from their name, for reasons i shall make clear in due course.) Steve Jobs was as giddy as a schoolboy as he presented the iPhone at the Macworld convention […]

Let’s face it, for Hari Raya, CNY, Deepavali and Christmas, Pos Malaysia is dead. Greeting cards are a thing of the past, for those with bandwidth anyway. But instead of a regular e-card, this Christmas try sending your friends and family a mix-mas. Fully customisable characters and a direct mail option makes this a cute […]
