Stokke™ Xplory®

June 30, 2007

Stokke™ Xplory® Stroller is designed around a central bar that like a spinal cord carries every feature on this stroller; the wheels, the seat, bag. This makes the stroller easy to open and operate or fold and store away.
Children love being active. Sitting still is not in their nature. Stokke™ Xplory® stroller lifts your child right up which means he can see everything that is going on around them. The stroller seat is adjustable so your child can sit up to the table height.

Carpet Alarm Clock

June 26, 2007

There’s been quite a few ingenious alarm clock concepts of late. They all have one thing in common - force you to physically get up to turn them off. The Carpet Alarm Clock is a variation to that theme. In order to turn it off, you have to get up and step on it. If you really want to make it a challenge, place it far away from your bed. Of course it wouldn’t be a clock if it didn’t have and LCD screen to indicate time too.

Pool Treadmill

June 25, 2007

 

In a fast global population growth especially in India and China, there will be less floor space per human to play around… Spaces for sport becomes a luxury, and the elements on our skin are also a concern even if there are natural space, so sport become equipments in air conditioned sheltered rooms. As Dubai starts to build hotel in the seas, and companies turning ships into floating entertainment platforms, even swimming becomes a problem. Whatever…

Only USD4000 and you don’t get to swim with nasty animals and face the elements…

Random pic of the week

This hilarious motion and sound-sensitive Digger Dog looks just like a beagle digging his way to China. Walk past him and he barks, his tail wags, his back leg goes up and down–and he passes gas!

This pair of Bluetooth speakers pair up with any Bluetooth player or cellphone, and their maker says they’re the world’s first completely wireless Bluetooth speakers. Sure, there are plenty of others, but they have a wire between the two speakers, but these have none. You don’t even have to plug them into the wall, either, because they use two rechargeable Li-polymer batteries in each one.  tThe speakers will play up to eight hours, and will sit there on standby for 240, with a recharging time of 3.5 hours. £69.99 (SGD210) for a pair.

Remember the Life Bank I post last september? The Life Bank One coin counter is a mini version that you can use on top of other vessels that you intend to keep your change or just trying to be different. Instead of just dropping your spare change into a gigantic bottle and putting off all that tedious counting for another day, why not just screw the Life Bank One coin counter on top of that bottle, and you’ll know how much money is in there all along? It gives you a running total in its little odometer-like readout.
