Vanishing Point

Lovely bit of motion graphics work. I’m also really enjoying the teeny mini album, cubicroom, that some of the music is taken from.

Ceramic rings to hold and dispense round fruit.

Who are these people who have the time and money to sit around “designing” poor crap like this?

Hey, you know what else can hold and dispense round fruit? A BOWL. It can even handle odd shaped fruit. Also, what on Earth are those green things on the far left? Did they run out of real round fruit?

The Idea Exchange Rate

Chris — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 15:29:42 +0000

Inspired by this talk about ideas, I have created the Idea Exchange Rate.

As the site explains, since British ideas are “ten-a-penny”, and US ideas are “a-dime-a-dozen”, we can calculate an accurate exchange rate between British ideas and US ideas. I anticipate this becoming a very important metric for pan-Atlantic intellectual property negotiations.

Commute Suit

The Commute Suit. You wear it on the Tube, and it has prongs sticking out of your knees and elbows to keep people away from you. Some artists are such a fucking waste of space.

The Expressive Photobooth

Chris — Wed, 03 May 2006 12:46:40 +0000

The Expressive Photobooth is a photobooth with a difference. Without warning, it surprises you by wobbling the seat or blowing air in your face, and then takes your photo. Its creator, Tim Hunkin, says, “I really enjoy the screams I hear coming from the booth.”
