I thought this was an extremely creative and individual app, as well as a cute video displaying its features and just how generally cool it was.

Nokia Headset Comp Winners

Article link: Nokia Headset Comp Winners

This article shows off the winners of the Nokia Music Almighty Headset Competition, which started sometime last year and ended early this year.

I love the creative idea of some of these headphones, especially the one on the right. In a way, it's extremely geeky, but at the same time, it's incredibly beautiful.

This article shows a couple of pages from Tom Gauld’s sketchbooks. Tom Gauld, according to the article, is one of the UK’s best illustrators.

I love looking at sketchbooks, because they're so personal and individual and creative. They also get me in the creative mood!

Sid’s Faces

Article link: Sid’s Faces

This article is about a drag queen named Sid and the photographer, Nat Poole, who decided to take pictures him. Poole says that "I was attracted to Sid because he stood out from the usual drag queens. Instead of impersonating a woman like most drag queens, Sid has an unconventional style, one that seems in a sense, genderless. This notion of portraying one’s self in many forms, none of which are predominantly male or female, is where he perfectly linked to my interests, which are to do with looking at identity and representation."

I thought Sid looked amazing, and I'm really glad Poole recognized his individuality enough to photograph it. They're amazing!

What does better mean?

Article link: What does better mean?

This article by Seth Godin attempts to explain what "better" means by saying, "And since I like them better, they are better. [...] You don't get to decide what's better. I do."

I completely agree. "Better" is not only subjective, but it's also time relative and culturally sensitive. One person cannot decide what's "better" for a group of people.

This article features designs by Khodi Feiz, all of which will be on display in multiple locations this month in Milan. The article says that "First is a new Palma series chair developed for Offecct, followed by a complete family of coffee products called 'giannina family' for Giannini."

I really like the design of both of these; both the chair and the coffee products really give off a futuristic feel to them, which I love.

The article features the Eee Keyboard by Asus that gets rid of the number pad and replaces it with a touchscreen.

It looks so cool but kind of unnecessarily. And $600 retail for a keyboard? Eeesh!

Hyuh Jin Lee's ID with a twist

Article link: Hyuh Jin Lee's ID with a twist

The article links to a portfolio by Hyuh Jin Lee but shows off two of his works.

I particularly liked the "Dr. Hard Drive Bag" because it's cute and hilarious! Plus, it's extremely creative. I wish I had thought of that!

A way to give your stuff wireless IDs

Article link: A way to give your stuff wireless IDs



This article is about a Parisian company that is creating a product called Mir:ror, which is a device you can attach to your computer that can tag household items such as car keys and paperweights, and make them interactive.

I think this is a really interesting idea! It seems very cool, and convenient. However, I think it would even better if they could somehow locate my objects, like if I don't know where my keys are, or if I have misplaced my cellphone.
