Everyone Loves Toast

Looking at toasters isn't everyone's cup of tea but the shear amount of strange designs and varieties on www.toastermuseum.com is quite impressive. It's amazing to see how one item has changed so dramatically over the decades.

The Photojojo Store

The Photojojo Store is jam packed with some fantastic gifts for anyone interested in photography. Some of the items that caught my eye were the bottle cap tripod and the fantastic looking fisheye, macro and wide angle lenses that can be magnecticly attached to your phone! Link

The Land Of Giants

The Land of Giants by Choi + Shine architects are amazingly impressive. All built from the same generic components they make for a stunning and epic addition to their surrounding environment. I think it just goes to show that if we look at what is around us with new and creative eyes then we can start to make things that people appreciate and don't just take for granted. Link

George Steinmetz Aerial Photography

Every now and then you see some photography that blows you away. The landscapes captured by George Steinmetz from his motorized paraglider are stunning. More info and photos can be seen here

Augmented Reality For SketchUp

With advances in CAD technology and 3D displays I think it's only a matter time before we start to see this kind of technology being included in many CAD packages. It looks like a nice way to be able to properly visualise your designs in the real world. Link

New Work - Hercule & Cheese Board

I've been meaning to add these two pieces for a while. The cheese board was initially made as Christmas presents for friends and family and the doormat was a little addition to our back door. I hope people like them. As with most of my work I am currently looking for any interested producers for both of them.

New Work - Apron Cooking Guides

I'm really chuffed to let you know that I have a new design in production with the guys at Suck UK. The new design is a cooking apron with lots and lots of really useful information printed on it to help you as you cook. Included on the design are cooking times, freezing guides, temperature and weight conversion charts and even a spaghetti measure. It's not available just yet but will be very soon. Once again thanks Suck UK!

The Digital-Analog Hybrid Disc

London-based Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki has collaborated with DJ Jeff Mills to produce a disc with a vinyl press on one side and a CD mix on the other, merging analog and digital music formats into one. The disc is produced by AXIS records and manufactured by German company optimal media production.

The Evolution of the World Cup Ball

A great look at how the World Cup Ball has evolved. Maybe we should bring back the Challenge 4-Star then England might have a chance of winning. Link

Sleeper Projects Drum Kit

Being a keen drummer I was intrigued to take a closer look at Sleeper Projects nesting drum kit. It's not the first nesting drum kit but it's paired down simplicity and simple styling make it look like a real winner. I'd love to give it a go. More info here
