It’s not just professional camera users that need a good camera strap, budding prosumers, vintage camera collectors, artist photographers and even the recently trendy toy camera hobbysists all need a good strap. Generally good quality straps meant black nylon and giant white logos. Thanks to the internet, there is a great little cottage industry of [...]

What better way to get technical information about nature’s than from a piece of wood. Makes perfect sense. This thing is like one of those Oregon Scientific Weather Stations, that I always wanted as a kid, but in a very nice looking wooden package. Beautiful and eco-themed, it’s even got a motion sensor that detects [...]

Every established, aspiring or wannabe journalist/writer/blogger has a bag of essential gear that they depend on. It’s all digital these days you need to be connected, you need to be able to write, edit, shoot your own stuff and upload it on the go. Not to forget those moments when you decide to go all [...]

I have never gotten so excited about a camera before. This is the Olympus Pen E-P1 camera, part of the Olympus PEN series. It’s retro old school look (based on the old PEN series which started in 1959) reveals the innovative slim profile new standard called Micro Four Thirds System. It’s like a traditional digital SLR, [...]

If you grew up in the 90′s you’d be familiar with the G-Shock is a brand of watches manufactured by Casio. They were known for its resistance to shocks (e.g. hard knocks and strong vibrations). They were, and continue to be, designed primarily for sports and outdoor adventure oriented activity. Recent models have become more [...]

Back the in 80′s Soundwave transformed into a playable micro casette player, more recently Optimus Prime is available as a ipod dock, in the near future RAVAGE who was a character based on a transformable micro tape who was a Soundwave minion will take a step into the present in USB form.

Us non-Kanyes can’t even begin to understand the fabulousness of the life this man lives. How can we? The concept of waking up surrounded by Louis Vuitton, bathing in Veuve and then having to decide which lambo to drive which bank stuffed with our milions is so far removed from our frame of reference that we don’t stand a hope in hell of ever understanding what Kanye has to go through every day just to be Kanye. Asking us to understand Kanye is just too hard and arduous a task.

I came across the Study Ball on Darrell Whitelaw’s entertaining Twitter feed and I share his sentiment; I can’t wait to have kids upon whose fragile psyche I can unleash this little puppy. The Study Ball is a ball and chain with a time lock  designed to help you keep track of your study. At [...]

Do you know tatebanko? Well I’m pretty clued up on Japanese culture, but I had no idea what it was until recently. Apparently it is an almost forgotten art of creating scenic dioramas using paper and clever use of perspective. It was popular in Japan during the 17th Century (Edo Period) till the 19th century [...]

The Handy Trax USB is built by a Tokyo-based DJ gear manufacturer Vestax, not only plays your records but also digitizes them via a USB connection. That’s technical terminology for ‘making mp3s’. It’s about as big as an A3 sized book, weighs about 2kg and comes with a sleek carry case – making it quite [...]

Has anyone stayed up late enough to watch that infomercial for the Aerogarden? Clearly targeted at pot growers, this is a similar concept but way better looking. Studio Schulab have created the ‘lightpot’, a small pot for growing plants and herbs indoors. The light is LED based, which means it’s strong enough to keep the [...]

If you work in the creative industry, you would have heard of Wacom. They are well known and respected for their lines of graphics tablets. In fact they make the best ones out there, for professionals all the way down to cheap models for beginners. They don’t really have any competition. Well apparently having a [...]

Why the hell didnt anyone think of this before? Seriously? After going through a handful of thumbdrives that just break, I wish someone designed this earlier. Because frankly movebale bits of plastic on something you want to attached to your keys and shove in your pocket is just stupid design. Comes in two physical sizes, [...]

Yep. They did it again. It’s smaller, better, faster stronger… oh wait. Blah blah blah, it’s latest little gimmick is that it uses VoiceOver technology, which enables the Shuffle to speak your song titles, artists and playlist names. Albeit in a Apple Robot voice. Screen? Who needs a screen? And seriously, they managed to make [...]

I’ve recently being upgrading my kitchen gear, and was on the lookout for a pair of oven mitts that clearly defined me, as a person, in a humorous and quirky way. I came across these by Brazil based Bazar Design on OhGizmo, only to find that they aren’t available quite yet. Which was somewhat depressing. [...]
