Altitude LightLane for Bicycles
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Transportation
Altitude’s Alex Tee and Evan Gant created a prototype of LightLane for a design competition to promote bicycle commuting. Their thought was that the bike lane should adapt to the cyclist as opposed to visa versa. The reaction was so positive that, although it did not win, it is becoming a reality nonetheless. The device attaches to the back of the bike and has both bright red LEDs and DPSS green lasers. It comes with a universal attachment bracket and phone charger.

Slide To Unlock Doormat
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Apple, Design, Household
Neither Apple devotees nor iPhone users with other computing proclivities want dirty floors. How can all of those floors POSSIBLY stay clean and yet still let visitors know that this household strongly supports the telephonic ventures of Apple? The “Slide to Unlock” doormat. Made of washable rubber and available from the Meninos Store for $50, it’s a piece not-tech that will add some personality to your entry while keeping the rest of the house ship-shape.

Combimouse Peripheral
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Peripherals
Ari Zagnoev’s Combimouse is a keyboard and mouse arranged in an odd sort of way. The right unit is the right side of a QWERTY board that can be moved around for comfort and operates in keyboard mode unless it is switched. The company calls the switch “effortless and intuitive.” We call it one more thing to fall off the desk, although they say it was tested by college students who found it convenient. By the way, they are also looking for investors if you think they have a hit on their hands.

Modern Fossils Sculptures
Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Accessories, Design, Misc. Tech
I like to think that in the future, the people of that time will come across relics from the 21st century and laugh at how hard our lives were. I can’t imagine what technological strides will have been made by then, but thanks to Christopher Locke we can have an idea of what kind of antiquities they’ll theoretically be finding. Locke’s Modern Fossils sculpture series renders our current (and some previous) technologies in a proprietary concrete mixture, giving them the look of actual fossils. Most of the pieces are for sale and range in price from $45 to $185.

Braille E-Book
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech
With all the hoopla over the new Kindle DX, we think it is nice that someone has come up with a Braille E-Book. Translation of a 500 page book can double the thickness of the tome, so designers Seon-Keun Park, Byung-Min Woo, Sun-Hye Woo and Jin-Sun Park use EAP technology to change the surface pattern via electromagnetic signals. This is still a prototype but maybe Amazon can make it its next hot product.

Star Trek iPhone Case
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cell Phones, Mods / Hacks, Movies
We dig that that there is plenty of hype around the new Star Trek movie, although we doubt the next generation can equal some of its predecessors. Still it has inspired lots of new accessories, including this iPhone case mod, which is actually an old Star Trek pin glued to the back. Hmm. We wonder if we attached our old tribble to the back of our phone, would it reproduce?

Video: Rethinking the way we sit down
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Household, Misc. Tech, Videos
After watching Niels Diffrient, creator of the Freedom Chair, talk about how he approached chair design from a whole new perspective, we had to share it. The talk was given in 2002 at TED, so it isn’t new by any means, but it’s very cool to hear the details of how Niels came to completely rethink the office chair, using the human body as his fundamental data set.
Star Trek Urn and Casket
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Movies
Star Trek fans that are not being frozen or hurled into space after their demise will surely appreciate Eternal Images products. The Casket is reminiscent of the photon torpedo that was seen in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.” Their Urn features a design inspired by the 24th century in what they say is the “style of the United Federation of Planets.” Although the company has been around for a couple of years and have received plenty of publicity, each container has yet to materialize. Both should be available soon and you can sign on to be notified of price and arrival date. However, we still want you to live long and prosper.

Vertigo Prototype Heats Food and Drink
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech
The Vertigo is a handy device that will self-heat your food and beverages and is eco-friendly at the same time. Designed by Nicolas Bernal, the outer shell is made from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), a material that can handle temperatures up to 150° C and is fire retardant. A sensor-triggered LED lets you know optimal temperature. Best of all, you hand crank it, so the prototype will work when you are lost in the woods, stuck in traffic, or need a caffeine fix.
