Ember - Massage Oil Candle

Updated Jan 10, 2007

6 people recommended this item

Description

The melted wax from this Ember candle is scented massage oil that is at a skin-safe temperature. I love the fact that the only clue to its real use is the subtle spout at one corner.

Carbon Butterfly - Indoor RC plane

Updated Sep 26, 2006

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Wow. Gorgeous.

This ultra-light, ultra slow flying plane makes it possible to fly inside normal size rooms. It isn't cheap (~$300), but it supposed to be virtually indestructible and comes with a custom aluminum carrying case. There is a cheaper version, but it is made of materials that would be easier to damage.

The plane recharges off the transmitter which runs on AA batteries.

This bookshelf makes it look like your books are floating on air. I liked the look, but was suspicious that it might not be very usable... I bought one, tested it out, and now I have bought 4 more. (via Boing Boing)

SeaGlass 4pc Plate Set

5 people recommended this item

Description

I first saw these plates a year ago and have been lusting after them ever since. I have always liked the texture and look of sea glass. Combine that with the unusual shape and bold colors of these plates and it is irresistible.
I finally put in my order today.

Optimus keyboard

Updated Jan 11, 2006

1st to recommend

22 people recommended this item

Description

Simply beautiful.

This keyboard allows you to change what each key shows (each key is a little color display). This would be very helpful in learning to be productive in programs like Photoshop that are keyboard intensive if you want to be fast.

This is available 2/2006. The only thing that would make me pass on it is if the tactile response is not good.

Description

This book helped me understand the "narrative" of information graphics. A must read if you present data visually. Tufte's other books are all worthwhile. (via Craig Ogg)
