Aspirin cufflinks

IT
OPENS! Can’t you see being in a meeting? or a horrible dinner? or a
mind blowing concert where you happen to be in a shirt shirt that
needed cufflinks? Anyhow, they are so subtle yet detailed. If they
didn’t open and hold pills or whatever you want to hide inside, it
wouldn’t be nearly as fascinating an idea.

MobiBlu DAH-1500

Filed under: All, Tech, Product, Accessories, Storage, HearMe/WatchMe

By Robert Sinke - rsinke@skynet.be on DAP News

How cute is this MP3 player cube? The new MobiBlu DAH-1500 is a tiny, tiny MP3 Player measuring only 24x24x24mm.

The MobiBlu DAH-1500 has a OLED display and sports a 20 hours playback time. It features a FM tuner and the headset plug is also the data connector. This cube style player is smaller than the iPod shuffle in Volume.

It comes in a box that reminds us a whole lot of the iPod (mini)’s - cube-shaped, with some fine artworks on each side of it.

Even has its own little protective “case”. All very cute in an acceptable way.

More pictures over at POPCO. They call it a “preview”, so I guess they’ll review it later on.

Update: the DAH-1500 finally got its own product page, over at MobiBlu’s website. CLICK.

Octave 13Odile 06Oscar 08

French designer David L’Hôte
seems to be just as fed up with wires as I am. Centfils (translating to
something like 100 wires) is a series of design concepts that address
the increasingly problematic proliferation of electrical wires. From
left to right: Octave goes under the desk for all those computer
peripherals, Odile on top of the desk for the mobile devices and Oscar
in the kids room. Oscar even doubles as a night-light. Each design,
essentially a highly functional power strip, also features a flat power
cord with adjustable length.

Floppy Drive Robot

Here’s
a little something to do with that old floppy drive that you no longer
have a need for. Ohmslaw.com has some nicely laid out instructions on
turning a floppy drive into a robot. The instructions for the Floppy
Robot are for a 3.5″drive - but never fear. There are also instructions
for the 5.25” Floppy II.

Dada Dolls made from found objects

Filed under: All, Art, Projects, Doll, Toys, DIY, Product, Storage

By Cory Doctorow:

Mindy sez, “Described as ‘Dada Dolls’, the incredible creations offered
for sale on this site are made almost entirely with recycled materials
- like dictionaries, cigar boxes, and antique tobacco tins. Each doll
comes with its own story: (example) ‘After the summer away with her
cousins in Oslo, Anna was hoping her mother would notice how short her
dresses had become, and that her figure was no longer that of a
child… ‘”

(Thanks, Mindy!)
