Aurgasm | your favorite music you've never heard

Updated Feb 28, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Most of us have surrounded ourselves with a comfortable mix of safe and reliable tunes. Our friends probably listen to similar stuff. Its hard for new stuff to enter into our mix.

Aurgasm is one of my favorite ways to inject life into my iPod. This blog not only posts insightful reviews, it also lets you download full tracks legally. Yes, legally. The writer works with the artists and their representatives to offer these tracks for evaluation. You get to listen and hopefully you will go and buy more.

Its a great way to discover new talent and genres.

C2 Climate Control

Updated Feb 13, 2008

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Say hi to your new buddy; the C2 Climate Control device.

So its a fan, right? Well, not really. Its a cooling system and a space heater in one.

Big deal, there are lots of those right? Well, none like this! It eats little electricity - up to 90% less than its energy hungry cousins. It can warm the air around up up to 32 degrees and cool it by eight. Just set it up and enjoy.

Ok, so its a greener version of a space heater / cooler, right? Not quite still. It also pulls all the nasties out of the air, leaving you with just a warm / cool breeze.

Not convinced?

The filter can be cleaned and replaced - no throw-away filters that end up in a land fill. No chemicals, no weird voodoo. You'll love the atmosphere it creates, you might even forget that its on. If you do, it will turn itself off in 4 hours to save energy.

Oh, did I say its a brainchild of Herman Miller? Yeah, now you can believe it!

Supermarket - PLANTORB from perch!

Updated Jan 26, 2008

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I've never liked the typical hanging flower pot. Usually plastic. Typically modeled after a traditional / classic pottery design. The look never comes off right. Always fake, very contrived.

Plantorb is neither contrived or fake. The form is clean, simple and familiar. Seeing it from below must be interesting though I would love to see a small patch of herbs suspended above a kitchen counter - ready for picking.

Good clean fun!

Maku Furnishings: Teak Sofa

Updated Jan 20, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

When I first heard for MAKU I was so excited about the design, the philosophy, the man behind it all. Alas, it was still early and word had not spread. Now you can get your MAKU fill at Velocity.

What is Maku? Its a great line of outdoor teak furniture that looks amazing. Many people take plantation grown teak and coerce it into ungodly forms. It doesnt take any great amount of skill to make something ugly. Maku furniture looks wonderfully modern and robust enough to take a few storms on the patio - or indoors.

The stuff is sustainably grown, classically assembled, well thought-out and just great!

You have to check out the rest of the collection.

ada hanging vase

Updated Jan 20, 2008

1st to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

I cant wait to see someone buy up a bunch of these (say, 9) and paint each one a different color. Oh, the possibilities. Heck, just leave it along and hang each white vase on a bold wal - or on boldly colored squares. Lemme at 'em, I'll do something fun with it.

All you need is a flower, a nail and a little creativity.

And I thought I loved this clock when it first made its debut in black and white. Oh, how wrong was I?

The face appears on both sides - ala train station. Place it in a key intersection of your home and let it guide your daily activities.

Vessel Prints

Description

Pure clean simplicity on your walls. Each in this series of three reminds of me light and shadow studies in drawing class. None of my work looked so soft, subtle and perfected as these. The cool greys and the very specific shapes are a timely reminder of a time that has long since passed by.

Amadana Illuminating Alarm Clock

Updated May 14, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I have a thing for clocks and Ive recently been looking to replace my vintage (circa 1990) alarm clock with something more chic. I saw this on in the MoMa store and Im in love. I'd love to wake up to these clean retro lines. The second hand sweeps the face of the clock just like a high end watch would. All the controls are analog (knobs). The face illuminates - rather the glass glows in a piercing LED-blue. The best part is the alarm. Several original compositions play at random each time you hit snooze. Its a great alternative to the nerve shattering, ear piercing sound you're probably used to.

Blissliving Home Ethan Pillows

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Don't we all love these rich and opulent patterns executed in fun and fresh ways?

The Ethan pillows from Blissliving Home are the perfect embodiment of that traditional and contemporary mix. On the face of each black pillow is a densely embroidered (yes, not printed) pattern that is equally pleasant to the touch as it is to the eyes. With this kind of attention to detail, the price will surprise you (in the good way)

A few fun hand-stitched pink and green birds are the finishing touch on this great bedding! I love how versatile this pattern is... A little formal a little casual... whatever you want it to be.

Check out the coordinating pillows!

Designchain is just one of those truly brilliant ideas whose versatility is just astounding!

Based on a bicycle or motorcycle chain, this clear polycarbonate series of cylinders are linked together using a flexible connector. Designchain can weave across a table, stack on itself, be mounted on a wall and it can be split or combined with additional Designchains. Not only is it versatile, its completely modular!

Flatpack Cardboard Coffee Table

Updated Feb 7, 2008

4 people recommended this item

Description

Green genius in a flatpack box!

You construct this table out of a clever cardboard design that starts out packaged flat. The table is adorable in so many ways. The shape is obviously a dream to anyone who loves simple design. The pattern is adorable and the color hints at the green nature of this table. This is a lot of product and lots of fun for just $65!

JAGGA Writing/magnetic board

Updated Apr 14, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Like all things IKEA, JAGGA is a great example of inexpensive functionality. This unit doubles as a storage device and a magnetic dry erase board. Oh, like all great things, it also has a clock.

You can use the compartments to charge your cell phone or MP3 player since it has a cord pass-through. Naturally, you can get funky with magnets or make your own daily art.

I just love the plain white face with the simple clock in contrast with the brightly colored compartments.
