WaDoor is a door-screen with a low resolution electro-luminescent surface.
It is composed 16*40 ‘EL pixel’ modules.
Each EL bulb can be piloted individually, allowing users to write information messages or draw patterns.
The system is connected to a computer to download files and as a door serves as a man-machine interface that reacts to direct body movements.

Well this is just gorgeous a porcelain cup with a silicon top, witch is eco friendly and dishwasher safe. It says that due to high volume orders, your product might not be available for shipping until april. Thats a good sign people order it and will use it, way better than a paper cup. The big question is, will i be able to take this to Starbucks and ask them to make my latte-grande in it?!
Im not a paper cup

To continue on the bedroom stories, instead of a rocking chair like the Private Cloud, this is a more modern setup with a low bed, and a minimalistic look, but still a very cosy touch on the over all scheme. This is a very clean setup, The LAX series are made by MASH studios the entire series are made out of oak and white plexi glass.

Ok i have had my WESC headphones for about 5 weeks now, i have been using them frequently and outdoors, indoors, walking, sitting, running and sleeping. There are some features i very much like and some that i like a bit less. The Elements are very good in fact the bass is way better than i though. And the treble is also good, if you change the EQ on your ipod/MP3 player you will find that the sound changes a lot.
The techs are:
Type: 30mm power drivers
1khz Sensitivity: 120 db
Impedance: 32 ohms
Frequence Range: 20-20 001 hz
Plug: 3.5 stereo
Cord: 0.5m + 1.0m extension
Weight: 143g
The parts i don’t like is that sometimes it feels like they are going to leave my head for a very short basejump down to the ground, this makes me feel a bit uneasy about running with them and do athletic things with them on, but thats something that doesn’t belong to the usual everyday basis. The other thing i don’t like is the small cables connecting the headphone element to the head arch. They are very small and very easy to break, so next version please make this part more durable.
Conclusion:
I like the WESC Headphones, in fact i like them a lot, so much that the only headphones i like more is the studio AKG headphones but the also have gold patterns and 65 mm elements. So if you are out for a headphone in the 60$ price range with a more stylish appeal you should get the WESC headphones. Buy them here [KarmaLoop]
I give the WESC headphones 4 out of 5 You got SuperFamous stars

The new Hummer HX Concept well we don’t know the real name yet, but it might go under HX, H-ellion or just H4. But neither way this car is something you crave, i mean it is a monster and they have put loads of energy in making this car more environmental friendly with a E85 hybrid eco engine. They have also stolen/borrowed some ideas from their fellow jeep. You can remove the roof panels, the doors, fender flares and also the entire back part of the roof can be separately removed. With the 35 INCH WHEELS you can go over anything… yes anything. So when this baby gets out on the market, we want to try it.. or just own it. Maybe a new company car?!
Hit the break for more info
Couldn’t helping posting another image.

What if all of the benches outside my window looked like that, i wouldn’t need a laptop to fill me needs and i wouldn’t need to write this blog, but hey they are not so i will continue to write.

This is a rather cool concept, a bunch of shelves that you can stack on each other to create a taller shelf and each section has its own speciality. Books, magazines, HiFi, pots and vases… aahhh you get the point. The concept is available in both wood and plastic mould. Check out more at OkiapiStudio
