Discussion 25 - 2/9/09

Thanks for logging in . . .

Let's check out Yanko Design this week. That's the cool site that shows all that new technology that is so beautifully designed.

And because, let's admit it, who doesn't need a bracelet with a detachable cell phone? I'm just sayin'.

Pick something and give an opinion. Talk to me . . .

The Tea Bag Lights, i read about those a few nights ago on Gizmodo, and thought that they would be a fun toy, probably makes your tea radioactive though.

I like the design of the bracelet with the phone on it, knowing me it would annoy me though.

The finger usb thing is kinda creepy,
wireless cooking plates on the other hand, look cool, and would probably be useful, sign me up

The Circle book case, i saw that a while back to and wanted it, just because it looks fun.,

I will stop there i could find like many more things i would want to comment about but im sleepy so I'm gonna go to bed

Gilbreath,J-1 said...

"A Lighthearted Look at Lighting Hungry Hearts" is a real tongue-twister...

A flash in your finger. Now this is just. Flippin'. Weird.

so one of the last pages has this really neat lunch box that heats your lunch up for you! i mean how great would this stinkin thing be? no more nasty cafeteria food becuause you can have moms left overs from dinner or lunch the day before! mmm =) sounds good to me!

tutt,matthew said...

That Lamborghini insecta looks very cool. A stealthy sleek look and a nature inspired thickness are a great head turning blend. One things for shure, I cant aford it.

murillo, j - 1 said...

Designer have been toying with the idea for years but the stream concept is unique in packaging the whole experience in a form more conductive to zen relaxation. Nr21 design introduces one of its latest designs, the vodafone 135.

Liles, T-1 said...

I want the USB flash drive in my finger! not really...I have to many practical purposes for my finger for that. But the computer that looks like rocks is really cool, all this stuff seems to be as much about asthetics as it is about usefullness. Its really cool to be able to model something like your computer after how you have designed your home, rather than having an old Victorian style home and a sleek, shiny black compter right in the middle of it all.

mcgown,a-1 said...

Everything on the website is amazing, and wonderfully designed. Though many other things caught my eyes I really like that mini mac book concept.(thats all...there isnt any more)

Calderon,A-1 said...

I LOVE THE Travel Chomp Chomp Chomping because you can carry your favorite snacks on the botton of the cup and your favorite drink on the top. that is so cool because you dont have to cary all the bottles of drinks and bags of snacks in your backpack, bag, or whatever you carry with you, now you can just carry a cup.

lathan,l-1 said...

Cook it up, it the silver pot I think it is cool because I like to cook and eat. The cellphone I would use that any time during the day I would, it is just awesome to see what all people can come up with in the world today would just use it. I would not be able to make it come to life but I would by one "lol". I also would like to use the tea bag light I also like to drink tea once in a blue moon.

McCorvey,T-1 said...

Well i really liked the Music In My Soul, In My Kitchen As Well.It's intresting how you can use it in the kicthen and listen to music at the same time.

Tri-Edge said...

I seen several things that look neat but the 2 items that grabed my attention was the warning bulb that tells you how much electricity you use and the Braille Interpreter, a single-finger glove that features a tactile sensor, a Bluetooth headphone and interpreting software. Thats a unique device that would help a lot of blind people that can't understand braille.

as for that usb finger thing.....I draw the line there.

rodriguez,stephen-1 said...

The running apparel is some thing i'd wear for running at night. My mom is "Dont run at night or you'll be hit by car!". Now i can just walk up to her with the suit and be all "YYAAA! WAT NOW?!?!...I'll be back soon mommy love you". I'll be running safely and be like glowing like a superhero!!

martines,j-1 said...

i think that the psp2 is cool the screen rolls out of the game and doesnt suffer any damage whille its being caried around

Lanham said...

I LOVE that this site updates so frequently. And I LOVE those flashlights. Ima have one!

Lanham said...

Tyler . . . you hit the nail on the head. Yanko is *about* the design, the aesthetics. Some of the stuff is concept, some of it could be considered art, some of it is in production.

Stephen . . . I'm so gonna honk at you in your glow-in-the-dark running gear.

reed, k - 2 said...

I really like the glass screen dj phone I think its pretty cool that you can make music on your phone and I love music. This phone would be perfect for DJs expecially because there are alot of talented people out there maybe they can get discoverd with this phone.

Baker,M-1 said...

Okay that old school iPhone is cool I have to admit. A Paper Clip is a paper clip, Idon;t really see what is so speciall about it. The cookoo wrist clock looks ugly and a bit anoying, but if it floats your boat... I could tatally use that mini diswasher, then I wouldn't have to odo dishes everynight XD. If I had money I would tatally buy the KRE8. Oh and that USB fingertip has got to be one of the nastiest things I have ever seen. Would the light tea make you mouth glow when you drink it? And last but not least, I would buy the Cell/MP3/Bracelete any day of the week XD

anderson,p-3 said...

i like the basic beauty and the DJ needs a phone to. i think the basic beauty would be a good phone for older people who use cell phones. it might be easier for them to comprehend since it look and works something like the old school cell phones. i think more young might like the Dj phone because you can play with the music.

Dietrich,R-3 said...

The have alot of cool stuff but i liked how most of it was designed but there was one thing that i though was cool which was the multi paper cliper, it looked cool and usefull.

Brice, R-4 said...

The Braile Interpreter is one of the coolest things out there. I mean if i was blind it would suck to have to learn how many dots or slashes are a letter. But now with this handy dandy device you just stroll your finger over it and it gets read to you through a headset. Problem solved

och,s-4 said...

I like the idea for the child bowl. That's really neat and handy...I may have to look into that in the future - the car seat you told me about is way cool, too. Also, the little dishwasher is precious.

There is a clock on this site that shows what time it is down to a millionth of a second...that's very cool, although I would never really need one of those.

The rings designed after the virus that causes AIDS are interesting. It's cool that the designer wanted to bring awareness in a new way, but I never would have thought that jewelry would have been the way to do that.

Maness, J-6 said...

The Skimmer is single handedly the greatest thing I have ever heard of. it takes jet skis to the extreme, being able to lift off the water and reach 1.5 meters off the surface of the water. amazing. i can just see riding that off the coast of galveston or wherever and spending hours upon hours of enjoyment. if only.... it would be a dream come true.

lee, s - 7 said...

All thing are weird. The finger usb is creepy. it scared my life again. I wish I never see again.

Abdul-786 said...

i liked that car the most and that cell phone in ur wrist i bet u could go any where with that car.

allensworth, z-2 said...

i must say that i believe the Loopa Gyro Bowl is the neatest thing on here how awesome would it be to never spill anything?! and i agree with brice until now it must have sucked to be blind

borerw-4 said...

i saw all the new tech stuff. its so cool. i can't deside what i like most but one of the more iteresting things is the tires split in to 8.

Jones,C-1 said...

the flash in your finger is pretty cool and creepy all at the same time even though i think it leans more towards the creepy side

arriola,brett-1 said...

i like the super paper clip. instead of cliping 1 stack of papers together u could clip 5 together!! if i had one i would never need another folder!

Ashley Manis said...

I shall list this week...

Old School iPhone
Six Part Toaster by Matt Gossington
FlapCam - Folding Digital Camera by Matthias Lange
‘Roll’ Up With A Good Book… Get It?
Scratch Notes On A Plank Day And Night
and the last one I can't find again, but its like an easle, with fake paint and you can paint on this thinga and all that jazz.

Hollingsworth,C-1 said...

The wire bike is cool...I would get tangled in it but it looks cool.

I want the pessimist's mug. It one of the coolest glassware items ever!

The glow in the dark writing board is cool. My family uses a dry erase board to convey messages and the stuff on it can get pretty old if nothing new is going on. But if the board was glow in the dark and "reset its self" when the glow faded I wouldn't be plagued by pointless information about 3 weeks ago

Thompson,O-1 said...

Almsost all of the stuff is AWESOME!
If they made half of this stuf, to world would toataly be awesome.

brittain,w-2 said...

i thought the Glam Cam For Extreme Conditions was pretty cool because i mean think about it. If you wanna take pictures underwater and then proceed to take some pictures in a place like the pyramids, your camera wont get destroyed

mayfield,s-1 said...

Nooka Fluff looks so cute, and the Rubber Chair, could be really fun. The Intergalactic Bowl could be useful for my nephew, he loves to spill things and we hate to pick it up.If I liked tea, I would enjoy the Tea bag lights.

Adams,B-2 said...

i think the new dj telephone is cool...imma have to buy me one...and it split in two

Bixler,T-6 said...

I think all the technology /inventions are awsome. I really like the car tires. But I really really like the sunglasses I can listen to music,talk on the phone, and block the sun.

Patton,A-1 said...

the wrist watch is freakin awesome.i would love to have somethin like that.i could just look at my wrist to see whose calling.that thing is cool

Gonzalez, C-1 said...

What the heck. A flippin flash in your finger. Who'd even want to have that. You wouldn't be able to hit the left or right triggers on a console controller depecting on which hand you have it on and type right anymore. Thats just crazy. I really like the Lamborghini Insecta Concept. Its pretty wicked.

Hernandez, Ruben 3rd said...

i like all technology,,,but i really like the open house. I could be used in trips you want to take. Its so cool if you want to sllep outside then u can use the open house

cruz,raymond,a-class3 said...

i think the coolest thing was the DJ phone. it looks like it would cost a butt load but it would be worth it. Im always working with music some how no matter where im at so this phone would be perfect for me. that phone is so awsome!!

otis,j-3 said...

The "You-SB" ultimate memory storage looks like the Terminator waiting to happen. If someone could plug their finger into a computer and download information to themselves they would be considered a robot; or cyborg at least. Anyway, if this happens Judgement Day could be an even greater possibility:(I can see someone listening to techno inside of themselves and hacking into the nuclear launch codes, all while dancing on their living room floor in their apartment; we should keep storage devices external for humans.)

robles,l-3 said...

the wheel that splits into eight is very handy to do sharp turns. its preaty cool how it splits so it can cener the gravity of the car. also i dont think that a rubber chair would be safe to have what if the actual metal part of the chair is broken and you can not see it because of the rubber. and then you fall.

gregory, m - 3 said...

That's nice you dont have to worry about being late for work or trying to cook up a quick breakfast when all you have to do is get the toaster ready and turn it on.

allensworth, d4 said...

although the DAWS wheel design is pretty cool, i think it is unnessicary...people shouldnt need to be speeding aroung corners, they should slow down and take percaution when turning....this design just gives people a faster way to be reckless

taylor, Q - 6 said...

The "open house" designed by John lautner's is really neat.Im not a camping person,well outdoor person period,but i would be if i had one of these its literally a house on wheels,and not like a regular trailer.Its a very neat idea.

edwards, a - 4 said...

I get sinuses easily and most of sinuses are from the stuffy air, so I would want that 'Window', air purifier!!!

Copeland, Juston7 said...

i think the braille interpreter is good for people who cant read braille because then they would have to depend on someone else but know they could be a little more independent

arnold,t.7 said...

i like the chair made of rubber and the wake up alarming that you can just wake up eating and drinking what they got for you to drink. the chair that made of rubber i can uses that for my room to have so i can set down and watch tv.instead of laying in the bed watching tv.

cano,ruben-7 said...

wow...i would llike to have that lunch box that heats up your lunch...how awsome is that huh??
I think thats a really cool thing to have..

GARRETT,K-4 said...

i think the mopot thingie is a great idea but instead of just a light i think some kinda of noise making alarm should sound.if you cant remember to water them its prolly cause you 4get that they are they so how will you u remember to look at them for a light? but if you hear them you will water them.

Trikosko, M-1 said...

I really liked a lot of the things I saw, I'll never buy any of them but they were neat. Imagine sitting pleople in the rubber chair and watching their reactions when they realise it isn't a normal chair.

Lopez, M-1~☺ said...

The Mashimaro mp3 player automatically draws my attention!! It's so adorable in every way that it resembles a Hello Kitty.
Then there's the Phantom. Comes in handy when losing air underwater for all those divers out there.
Magic Spheres-Awesomest wall entertainment ever!! It pretty neat to just stare at the wall then all of a sudden designs of all sorts appear out of nowhere.
Lastly, the amazing Cooka. Seriously, cooking ontop of a flexible yellow and orange matt with only the pots? How awesome is that?

Broadway,M-1 said...

I think that some of this stuff is pretty G. but also some is pretty far out and probly not do able. say the USB flash drive it pretty cool. But it a little wierd and far out. who would want a flash drive in their finger and who want to remove part of their finger for it that just cazy and cool all at the same time.

honestly - who ever knew there was a luxury was to.. elimate waste now.
that - to me - is a complete waste of money, for desgining, building, and buying.

villanueva, manuel, N. 1 said...

the only thing I really like is the lunch box thing were it heats up your food.

Sauceda, Maria=]- 6 said...

The supposedly "stylish" googles are UGLY!!! I was thinking the ones we wear in chemistry are bad but this ones just take it one step more dorky..i thought the wireless cooking plates were cool..=]

Cuarenta,A-6 said...

WELL i reallly liked the outside bathroom thing... it seems to be very relaxing.. just for one problem okay i get where the shower is and where the sink is but where is the toilet??!!!

This is the best idea ever... I hate power strips and this is the perfect solution to space problems.

http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/03/10/paper-clip-with-several-more-spins-in-it/

The coolest thing since sliced bread... I've seen round paper clips but they just did not do the job. These look like they will.

packard,a-2 said...

the hood for autistic children is a very good idea. my mom deals with a few autistic children everyday and they get so nervous that they need to have headphones so now they can have a fashionable way to calm themselves down and have a warm head! mrs. l sorry i didnt blog on time i was so consumed with finishing my project that i totally didnt get to it. but i thought i should blog anyway when i finally got the chance. i'm at the school where my mom works cleaning the mess from someone breaking in through the window, there is glass EVERYWHERE! i took my camera and my knowledge of science and recorded the evidence and lifted prints and shoe prints. got to go.

Meredith,B-6 said...

I think the wireless cooking plates are pretty cool and if they actually work itll be awsome
