For The Love Of Bamboo Posted: 01 Nov 2012 10:21 AM PDT Talk about a classy bamboo wicker casing for your ceramic speakers! The Bambory Speakers look haute and exude a creative marriage between craft and technology. Love it for its simplicity and demure looks. Tech-specks are sparse so I wouldn't like to make any assumptions; nevertheless, this one's for the sake of design!

Foreign Coins Get A Good Purpose Posted: 01 Nov 2012 07:33 AM PDT My recent travels took me to Milan, Singapore and Dubai and I totally get how annoying loose change can be. They are a big amount if I convert them to the Indian Rupee but petty to spend otherwise, and no money exchanger will convert it for me. The Add Up is a concept that addresses this desperate scenario that most foreign travelers are faced with. The exchange box takes in your foreign coins and converts the amount to your domestic currency. This amount can be then transferred to your phone account as a credit or added as Skype points. There is another important aspect to this exchange box, whenever you convert your coins; there is a decimal remainder that needs to be rounded off. Add Up automatically transfers this micro exchange to a registered charity of your choice. After the currency is exchanged, there are often a few digits after the decimal point. The system will automatically round down the number and donate the small remainder as a micro-donation. When such a small amount is multiplied by over two billion – the world's annual number of travelers – a massive difference can be made to society. Add Up is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winning entry.

Paws Stay Warm While Smartphoning Posted: 01 Nov 2012 01:05 AM PDT True, the downside to touchscreen phones are inclement weather patterns causing havoc on your hands but at least your mitts can stay stylishly warm thanks to Mujjo Touchscreen Gloves. No, they’re not the only smartphone friendly gloves on the market but they come by way of the Dutchies and those people live in pretty cold conditions, not to mention being neighbors to the coldest of the cold – Scandinavians, so I believe them when they say they’ve perfected it. “We’ve tested miles of yarn to come up with improved anti-pilling properties and literally spent hour's texting in an icebox. The result is an optimized balance of insulation, conductivity and elasticity. After numerous requests for different colors, the gloves are now available in natural gray, sandstone, lavender and coral pink.” Holiday gift anyone? Holiday gift for moi? Thanks, appreciate it.

Rocking Chair For Technophiles Posted: 01 Nov 2012 01:00 AM PDT Picture it, Richardson Texas, a semi-detached town home made of bricks and columns surrounded by majestic magnolia trees. It’s a mild 75ºF and I’m outside on the veranda suckin’ on jujubes. Betwixt yelling at the neighborhood kids for being too loud and at my dog for digging in the yard, I thumb thru the latest news on my iPad rocking gently to the music of Janet Jackson. My hands tire of holding the iPad, so I place it up on a dock connected to my iRock. Yes, it’s pure genius. A rocking chair for a generation of technophiles. Grammy gram’s rich oak rocking chair may be nice and all but my generation needs to be entertained even while sitting. The ole’ rocking chair isn’t just for geriatrics anymore. The iRock is the world’s first power generating iPad dock and sound station. Made from Swedish oak and pine, available in 5 colors, and the rocking motion provides enough power to keep your iPad juiced up. One hour of rocking provides 35% of power. See how life comes full circle? We start out life rocking away and we leave this world rocking away. DO WANT!
