| Posted: 15 Apr 2010 08:49 AM PDT Oh Cup Noodle, you fed me all thru college when I was broker than a joke. You flavored my palette with harmonies of sweet and saltiness. How I enjoyed the gummy texture of your noodles and fondly remember burning my tongue several times because I couldn’t wait for you to cook and cool. Sadly Cup Noodle, your styrofoam packaging is a big no-no so I want to show you this one; collapsable, disposable, and much easier to ship.

| Slim But Watch It! Wide Load Coming Thru Posted: 15 Apr 2010 08:36 AM PDT OM is a wireless, optical mouse with an incredibly slim profile. If you thought Apple’s Magic Mouse was too slim, your hand is probably cramping up just thinking about using this. Wait up tho! Studies show most of the strain on your hands comes from the extremities so this mouse was made extra wide – almost as wide as an average hand to provide full support. At only 10mm at the highest point, it almost feels like you’re using nothing at all – just a bunch of people pawing at their desks. I’d love a picture of that. Designer: Lukasz Natkaniec     |
| Chainless, Electric, And So Urban Posted: 15 Apr 2010 08:31 AM PDT The City Cycle is a chainless bike that uses a pedelec system in tandem with new belt technologies. Designed for urban commutes, which on average are shorter than 6 km, the City Cycle is intended for people who would otherwise stick to cars. Ask most people why they don’t ride their bikes to work and the answer is distance. Nobody wants to walk into work exhausted. Comfort is a key factor so before you naysayers poo-poo electric bikes for being an oxymoron, think about what it will take to get masses of people to switch back to two wheels.

| Posted: 15 Apr 2010 01:15 AM PDT I am starting to lose sight of what is more important as we all try to move forward in the green movement. As global warming converges on us all, is conserving water or conserving trees more important? Can both these conservation efforts live harmoniously? Case in point: this design by Yang So-yeon called “Foldish”. It is a wonderfully thought out design that creates paper barriers for your meal, therefore eliminating the need for separate disposable dishes for each of your courses. According to the designer, this food tray helps conserve water, but I can’t help to wonder, what about the trees that died for this tray? And what about the Bothans that died bringing us this information? Discuss amongst yourselves. Designer: Yang So-yeon     |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:15 AM PDT You’ve got a lot to say about tubes. Everyone does! Everyone has an opinion for tubes! And I’m sure you know the tubes I’m talking about, rescue tubes! The kind they didn’t have enough of on the Titanic. In fact, I hear all of theres were just crappy sinky tubes. These tubes are much better than those. These are just fantastic. This project is called “Unitube” and it’s made for when a lot of people are about to drown. They just hang on. They just hang out. They rock the Unitube. Connection, connection, reflection, air hole, handle, hook. These are the elements included in this strip of three. The reflection is reflective material that airplanes, boats, passers by are going to be able to see easily in the sun. And when you meet up with another set of floating people you can connect your Unitubes too! Designer: Shin Dong-Jin     |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:10 AM PDT You know how they call people who listen to iPods all the time Podlings? I’ve got a new definition for podlings for your right here. And it’s not nearly so silly! It’s much cooler! This one’s defined by a napping space for small children. It’s made of steel AND lacquered steel, each pod oriented in accord with its distance from the ground. Each pod to each baby, for each baby a different pod. Pods near the ground are for the bigger babies and are turned a bit more sideways so they can get out when they want to go play with a bunch of toys. Up higher, and tipped toward the ceiling a bit more for reduced chance of falling out, these pods are for the smaller babies. *I must comment here that these would almost certainly not be safe for tiny babies. They’re really supposed to sleep on a flat surface with either no blanket or a sort of sack-like apparatus. No suffocatsies or the instant death of babies! Designer: Caterina Tiazzoldi     |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:02 AM PDT You’ve got a lot of audio. Right? You’ve got some music in there, I’m sure. And you wanna split it up, right? Yes, you wanna split up so much, you want not one, not two, but three or MORE people listening to the music at the same time! If you’re a big fan of Chris NG, you know he’s whipped up an audio splitter before that was a bit more for lovers. This one’s for family style. You’ve got all the people in the world on this music. On a three port connection to 3.5mm head phone jacks. And they daisy chain! Speakers work in this, everything works in this. It’s called the Music Branches Audio Splitter. Dig it.

| Posted: 14 Apr 2010 10:35 AM PDT I want this like yesterday. The aptly names Nest is a magnetic shaped egg you need to coddle and care for by building a nest of paperclips. Keeps it stable and like any good mother, you may get a wonderful surprise after a few months. I’m totally kidding about that although if anything hatches, please write me. That deserves a story.

| Posted: 14 Apr 2010 10:31 AM PDT Holle Mirror by Geoffroy Gillant requires some imagination and a little faith to accept. The concept revolves around the idea of a hole in mirror – absorbs all and giveth back. It won 2nd place in the CINNA Design Competition in the small furniture category. Are you confused? Think of it this way. Hang a scarf but retrieve it thru the hole. OMG it’s like magic! Designer: Geoffroy Gillant     |
| Design a LG Phone That’s Not Too Futuristic! Posted: 14 Apr 2010 10:20 AM PDT Update: only 12 days left now! LG, Autodesk, and crowdSPRING in the same breath can mean only one thing: Time to participate in LG's Design The Future Competition. This year there is a certain twist in the tale, so do you consider yourself a designer up for a real-world challenge? There is little room for speculation because you need to design a revolutionary mobile device that will appeal to the cellphone-generation of United States, 2-3 years down the line. Drawing up a long list of specs will get you nowhere, but illustrating an innovative new experience or story on a 1024 x 3072 pixels page can win you some real handsome booty. There's even a chance to have your design be made into a non-working mock-up by guest judge Russell Bobbitt, a world renowned movie prop master (Star Trek, Iron Man and Iron Man 2). Imagine seeing your mock-up in Bobbitt's next blockbuster film. How cool would that be? Competition Details Eligibility: Any U.S. resident (citizen or green card holder) that is 18 years (or age of majority in state of residence) and older. Start and End Dates: The competition began on March 15, 2010, at 12 a.m. PST and ends on April 26, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. PST. Winners will be announced on May 14, 2010 at www.crowdspring.com/LG/winners. Prizes:
