Sure, why not?! The Thermochromic Urinal is a heat sensitive wall that registers the temperature of the *ahem* liquid on its surface, and changes color accordingly. Pretty ridiculous… but somewhat intriguing. Haha. I believe the first one was spotted in the UK. Sorry, not too much more info floating around the internet.
Cool Stuff
via Core77. This kaleidoscope-themed concept watch, created by GRO Design, has three color gradients on its face that change patterns simultaneously, and mesmerizes us at the same time. Pretty cool to watch (no pun intended). Check out the video below.
Are you tired of people digging through the refrigerator at work and grabbing your lunch? Don’t worry, it won’t happen again if you use these. Each of the sandwich bags have bugs printed on them… gross. Buy them here.
“Each of these clear plastic bags has a bug printed on it, making anything you put inside look decidedly less appetizing.”
via randommization. The “E-Mote” is a television remote control that supposedly reads your mind and decides the appropriate program you should watch based on your line of thought. This could all go very wrong very quickly. Heh. I’m very skeptical that this would work, but hey… you can find out when it is released in May.
Designer Kelli Anderson made a wedding invitation for her friends, Karen and Mike, which folds into a semi-functional record player that plays a song composed by the couple. Check out the video after the break.
The resulting booklet is comprised of a cover, two inner pages, a letterpressed band (with instructions and a tear-off RSVP postcard), and a flexdisc on a screwpost. The recipient bends the second page of the booklet back to create a tented “arm.” With the needle placed, they then carefully spin the flexidisc at 45 RPM (ish) to hear the song. The sewing needle travels the length of the song and produces the sound. Its vibrations are amplified by the thin, snappy paper to which it is adhered. To keep the needle down on the record, we reinforced the back of the “tent” with a spray-mounted half page of heavier cardstock. To reduce friction between the acetate flexidisc and the backing cover, we had the inside of the booklet laminated to be slick and conducive to hand-spinning.
