Aspiral Clocks

AsprialsWhy stick with the stoic old two handed clock? Asprial Clocks takes it up a notch with the truly unique spiral formed clock. Unfortunately at £350 it might not be the most affordable, any inspiring clock makers out there want to make me one?

National Geographic Wallpaper

National Geographic is known for their images. Somehow they manage to corral the best natural photographers in to one place, so it was no surprise to me when every image that sprung up in their International Photography Contest set was as good as the last. This might be the best way to supplement your Commons addiction.

I’m not sure if it’s because this house is just down the street (relatively speaking) or because it really is stunning, but this house from ZERAFA caught my eye. The New York City architecture firm designed this 5,000 sf. home in Niagara Falls, Ontario for a private client. If only I had the money…

Charles Chary, aka Paper Extravaganza, is one creative paper crafter. He crafts topographical map type paper installations out of nothing more than paper and glue. Scope out his entire set of works, as they vary in design and style. I really like this guy, reminds me of stalagmites and stalactites of some cozy bear cave.

Mo Logo Stacked LargeOkay, so I’m not always the most socially conscientious person in the world, but when I found out how I could get behind a good cause like this, I decided to give it a go. So here’s the deets, Movember (portmanteau of Mustache and November) is a worldwide month long awareness campaign for prostate cancer. You can donate, join the CONVOKE team, or get more information from my donation profile. Please help out a worthwhile cause, and I promise to not disappoint.

wiltshireStephen Wiltshire has an incredible gift, super human even. Stephen draws city skylines at incredible detail FROM MEMORY. Steven was diagnosed at autistic at age 3 and has been drawing city skylines since age 5. His more recent works are cityscapes on huge canvasses and can be purchased scaled or full sized (up to 6 m x 1 m) here.

sylvansf-10If you know me, you’d know I have an unexplainable fetish for squids. SylvanSF has this and more in their new lineup. Unfortunately there is only a few select stores that carry this furniture, but if you can find it, it might be worth it (and if you manage to get you hands on the squid trunk, you know Christmas IS just around the corner).

iPhone Jailbreak Redux

Submitted by on October 28, 2009 Uncategorized

p_480_320_DDC13548-3B6B-4EE0-BE61-AE664A10FF7F.jpegJust a quick update on the whole iPhone jailbreak thing. This is my current lockscreen on my phone. As you can see there’s weather, an agenda, and the number of new emails. You can also configure this to show number of missed calls and new SMS. The program is called Lockscreen Info and is available on Cydia. Winterboard is required to theme as you wish (including my minimal unlock swipe), and there are various programs that allow you to remove your clock (I’m using Clock Hide). Additionally, check out Popup Blocker, which can remove the redundant “missed calls” popup.

Hopefully this will at least help smooth over those who are gripped over no Android on Bell’s new network (Adam). Keeping things just that much more customizable.

Wine Chill Drops

Submitted by on October 22, 2009 Uncategorized

36230_001You know what’s smart? Thermodynamics. What’s even smarter? Using it to your advantage. This device chills your wine in 90 seconds (or what’s claimed). I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, you get a piece of metal cold enough, with enough volume and surface area and it’s sure gonna cool your wine down fast, I’d be worried that ice could form on the device itself and there’s no telling what that’ll do to you wine.

Never-the-less great idea when you just can’t wait for that bottle to chill.
