Stuck to Rivers and Lakes

Posted: 05 Mar 2010 12:20 PM PST

This right here is called “Waterfall.” It’s totally beautiful. Let’s just get that straight right now. Next, let’s talk about what the heck it is. It’s a project by designer Barbara Bona that came to her brain while she was studying the space of a window. Noting that while during the day, a window shows natural daylight, during the night, it’s totally just a black, blank screen. So she decided to take advantage of the space and totally light up the night.

She made the totally modern decision and got herself a bunch of LED bulbs. Then she picked up a handful of fabric. Bona then took the initiative and integrated the bulbs right into a curtain rod, noting that of all the things in the home arena, the curtain rod must certainly be one of the least innovated upon. The LEDs show true, “powerfully and directionally” illuminating the area without excessive heat.

She then added the slightly veiling, slightly reflective fabric to accentuate the situation.

Added the name Waterfall.

And that was that!

Welcome to the Future, Dad!

Posted: 05 Mar 2010 12:02 PM PST

Hey Dad, you’ve got to clean some diapers, Dad. This isn’t 1950, Dad, get over here and take care of this baybah! What you’re about to find is three different Baby Beds, not all of them directed directly at Dad, but they’d sure be useful for the baby! And since you’re reading this blog, you know – you know exactly what you wanted when you were a baby – innovation! See below the “Flip Bath,” Dad’s “Changing Bag,” and the “Modular Rocker.” Not for hard rock!

First down there you’re going to see the Flip Bath. It will accommodate the heck out of your baby as he or she grows up. Use one side until the baby’s butt gets too big to butt down in the tub, then flip. If the baby is then still too big, it’s time to get a new Flip Bath.

Next there’s Dad’s Changing Bag. Dad! Change that poopy! This is a bag that probably anyone could use, but it’s aimed at Dad in name. It has all the supplies you’d ever want for changing diapers, as well as some other parental essential items. Fold-out changing station for when you’re at the bus station, clean, raised, nice.

*I have to share with everyone a fact that noone really needs to know, I am just so proud of it: it was only last week that I got to change the very first diaper I have ever changed. It was a moderately soiled one right off my godson’s butt. Please refrain from sending too much cash in your congratulation cards.

Finally the Modular Rocker is for baby rock and rollers. It’s made up of some sleek individual components that can combine into a series of transformers, changing with the baby as the baby turns into a bigger baby. Scary huh? Babies turn into adults!

The Real Guitar Video Game

Posted: 05 Mar 2010 11:35 AM PST

The REAL, I said. The REAL one. This is the one where you learn a real, actual, applicable beyond the game skill. Habeeb it! The designer of this project had the idea stop upon his mind-grapes while he was watching friends jam upon Guitar Hero and Rock Band all day long. He thought hey, they’re so good at this, but they can’t play a real guitar at all! Well wouldn’t you know it, he was (and is!) an industrial designer so he pumped up his muscles and got to work creating what he calls “Vision.”

Vision is a self-teaching electric guitar. It’s an LED-lit neck and body working in unison with guitar learning software. Tune is always tune, reducing the time a student uses on this elementary task. Vision teaches through games involving visual and audio feedback. Chords, percussion, and popular music are played alongside the student to provide easy assistance, allowing the student to become familiar with the instrument in an environment they’re basically already used to.

Connect to a computer with Bluetooth, plug in an amp, or go unplugged with battery. Gameplay is very similar to popular guitar games out now where students complete levels, difficulties, and unlock challenges.

Connecting to an amp allows the student to play uninhibited. The guitar has regular tone and volume knobs as well as a built-in effects system.

Unplugged works on rechargeable batteries, LED lit fretboard and rear-mounted speaker allow the student to practice or play portably.

The guitar comes standard with several interchangeable bodies to appease any weirdly shaped person.
