Wanna send you friends a congratulation card, while still believing that shows nothing new? So why not put your card into a perplexing maze case? In that case, you buddies would have to find a way out of the maze to see what you’ve written in the card.

Oh, man, just tell me what you’ve said! But please don’t worry if you still couldn’t open the case, there’s at least one thing you can do— hit it open with a hammer. Hahaha

I always fail at boiling eggs. Its a life mystery to me. I can cook a mean risotto but boiling and egg just never works. That was till egg watchers joined my life. Its like an old school egg timer... but online- and is set depending on your egg size and temperature! It thinks for you!

I bet you ONE EGG that you will not fail using this egg timer!

Point to icons to communicate all over the world. There are some situations in life where words simply fail you. While attempting to describe your fish poisoning to a Brazilian doctor, for example. Or trying to tell a Croatian harbor master that you need a new propeller for your outboard motor. Those without a basic command of the local language or Oscar-worthy pantomimic abilities are quickly reduced to stammering helplessly and wringing their hands. Unless they pull a little magenta-colored book out of their trouser pocket... ICOON, the global picture dictionary, is an icon collection as hands-on as it is humorous, which no hand luggage the world over is complete without. The mini booklet divides essential everyday symbols into twelve categories, uniting them on 76 pages.

Regardless of whether you need a toothbrush, safety pin or swimming trunks, want to explain hay fever without using words, ask how to change money or are trying to rustle up a replacement battery for your camera s light meter, ICOON speaks the world s most intelligible language: pictures. This is the perfect language kit for every traveler. The wordless phrase book benefits from the internationality of pictures and signs in the process. This principle has proved its worth time and again, helping to convey information unequivocally in public places, at airports, on the roads and when sightseeing. AMBERPRESS collected ideas from around the globe to ensure that ICOON contained as complete a selection of relevant symbols as possible, subsequently testing and optimizing

the ensuing designs. The result is a collection of 2,000 icons, including 400 color photos divided into twelve categories ranging from clothing, hygiene products and health to administration and leisure activities. The picture dictionary even translates difficult topics like measurements and feelings into comprehensible symbols. ICOON thus provides a solution for almost everything one could wish to communicate the world over, be it Spain, South America, Russia or China. ICOON s minimalist design concept doesn t only make it a convenient ally on journeys of all kinds, but ensures it is also a stylish accessory for the user. Weighing in at just 2 ounces and measuring a mere 3.5x5 inches, the eye-catching booklet slides effortlessly into every trouser pocket. The illustrations are simply designed and clearly arranged in order to make the icons even easier to understand. ICOON is

an indispensable companion in every situation where communication problems may arise, be it a foreign business meeting, an adventure trip to the wilds of Kurdistan or a relaxing Mediterranean holiday.

This is not cool- but its the funnest (yep, its a word) game i have ever seen!

Everyday Chemistry

2009-11-15T01:13:00.000-08:00

Whether you believe this or not its a funny read. The short version is this guy apparently fell over in the desert then woke up in a shack that wasnt there when he passed out. The guy in the shack was a time traveller and had all these tapes the beatles had made in an alternate universe. In this alternate universe the Beatles are still alive and together. He stole a tape from this guy and has now put it online for everyone to download.

EVERYDAY CHEMISTRY.

So its unreleased songs by the Beatles. Kinda cool to believe it... cold chills type cool.

Worth a listen, or even just a visit to his site to have a laugh at his stories.

The Awesomeness Manifesto

What is awesomeness? Awesomeness happens when thick — real, meaningful — value is created by people who love what they do, added to insanely great stuff, and multiplied by communities who are delighted and inspired because they are authentically better off. That’s a better kind of innovation, built for 21st century economics.

I love my iphone. Yes- feel free to call me sheep Alyssa. Just another iphone user. But they are just so freaking good. How did i live without a phone that could add mustaches to your photos- trust me, it was not easy!

With the coolness that is PIP comes a smudged screen and possibility of scratches so i guess thats the perfect reason to get a cover! I have done my research and have fallen in love with a few! This first one I think is the coolest phone cover ever! How times have changed since the good old Nokia 5110 covers! Wood. Slide. = Cool. Buy it HERE
