Fish Fun!

Monday, November 28th, 2005

An un-named Japanese designer has come up with this multibowl fish home! There’s three connected globes that the fish can swim between. This allows you to create different environments for the little things, think fish heaven - the bowl with a castle, regular feeding and a ready oxygen supply. Fishy plaground, a place of rocks […]

Now this appeals! The guys at Make have used a nifty piece of kit to etch images onto a 17″ Powerbook. These guys should go into business.

007’s Aston Martin

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

As featured in the Goldfinger and Thunderball James Bond films, the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 is up for auction. The car is one of four kitted out with all sorts of Q stylings, the revolving number plate is there, the wheel mounted tyre slashers are there. The only thing missing is the ejector seat! It’s […]

Razr with iTunes?

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

Ah, rumours are a spreading again. Apparently the new V3i Motorola phone will be iTunes compatible, well maybe not all of them. It appears that (in a statement by Motorola UK)
‘iTunes will be available on the V3i in certain markets. For those markets a press announcement will be made shortly.’
It seems that this is to […]

Bowie goes porcelain!

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

Another instant classic from Messer Paul Smith. A damn funky set of six plates featuring none other than David Bowie. Available from the Paul Smith website for a mere £350 for the set. I strongly recommend purchasing a set as anything touched by the hand of Mr Smith is sure to become instantly collectable.

OMG! You want R2 D2 to whistle and bleep around your house, maybe show the odd temper tantrum? Maybe you would like him to guard the house whilst you are out? Maybe even a little game or dance every now and again? Well you can!!! Hammacher Schlemmer have a 15″ high R2 replica available for […]

Perlick make these rather cool beer fridges with beer pumps. Just the thing to finish off the inflatable pub in the garden!

The Wine Thermometer

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

Menu have this little lovely available. A wrap-around thermometer for your wine bottle so your favourite tipple is always at optimal temperature for consumption. I’m not too sure on how effective it is as I suspect that it measures the temperature of the bottle, not the wine (I would be very impressed if it measured […]

The Skidscooter

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005

Straight out of a junior James Bond movie, Jieyu-Design have released a design concept for the Skidscooter. It’s an electric scooter that transforms into a water propulsion aid! I suspect that it may never reach the mass market but I bet Q is eying it up!

Bespoke Christmas Tree Decorations

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005

Loominocity have some new products about to be released (just in time for Christmas, oddly). They’re a new take on Christmas tree baubles and feature LED’s to gently colour shift through a variety of tones, although I’m sure someone will mod these to produce some fit inducing disco tree! I’m not sure on the prices […]
