Presenting MouthOff: iPhone App Of The Day



Article link: Presenting MouthOff: iPhone App Of The Day

This article is a video that gives a review on an iPhone app called "MouthOff"

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.

Aaron Tang's disappearing stairs


Article link: Aaron Tang's disappearing stairs

This article shows off work done by Aaron Tang, which he describes as "an element of a wall that allows passageway to another environment when opened and restricts passageway when closed."

I think the picture makes it look really cool, but a video of him would be better. Well, despite that, I think it looks really cool, and that his description is pretty genius.

Hook and Go skeletal shopping cart



Article link: Hook and Go skeletal shopping cart

This article is about "a contraption called the Hook and Go, 'the smart cart for the urban shopper,'" which "seems like a good idea as gets rid of the cart part, folds into a compact shape, and will hold 70 pounds of hanging bags when unfurled."

So perfect; it would certainly get rid of the shopping cart stealing problems urban cities might have. But then where will the homeless get one?

Cookie / Made in England

Article link: Cookie / Made in England

This article highlighted works by Simon Cook (or Cookie, apparently).

I think his overall work looks really fun and entertaining! I really like the retro texture-y feel to some of his works, but the amazing cleanness they all give off at the same time. Amazing!

Shoes designed in two parts, for a perfect fit, no matter the style

Article link: Shoes designed in two parts, for a perfect fit, no matter the style

This article was about a new company called Skins. I think what happens is when you buy "Skins" shoes, you buy the "inside," which always fits, and then you can buy different "outsides." that will fit over the "inside."

I frankly think this is a bit ridiculous. It just sounds like you're buying more for less, but okay, I guess I can see the appeal.

Core-Toon: Process Map

This article showed a cartoon done by a user named lunchbreath.

I LOVED this. It was hilarious, and yet it reassured me that my college life will last a little bit longer, even if the cartoon is false.

Three neat pieces of transforming furniture

Article link: Three neat pieces of transforming furniture

This article had three videos which showed furniture that could "transform." This one was my favourite:



It's so cool! And I love how easy they made it look in the end, but it must've taken a lot of work to get right.
