Flash drives are a dime a dozen today and the things are more commodity than anything.

Audi A0 monocycle looks like a painful accident waiting to happen

, Aug 16th 2011 Discuss [2]

Audi has been making luxury and sports cars for a long time. The latest mode of transport to be unveiled by Audi isn't a car, it’s an electric unicycle or monocycle in Audi speak. The device is called the A0 and was designed by German and Mexican students. The A0 is sort of like a combination of a unicycle and a Segway. It reminds me of the time when I was young that my cousin did a face plant on the road trying to ride a normal unicycle. Read The Full Story

If Bumblebee was ever in a pinch and needed to turn into a bicycle to hide from the Decipticons, the INgSOC is the bike he would turn into. This thing looks like it might cut your rear end off if you sit on it. The bike uses no chain and has three modes of operation. The bike has battery-power mode, battery assist mode, and battery charge mode. Read The Full Story

, Jul 22nd 2011 Discuss [0]

The last crazy looking bike I talked about was that wooden bike made out of black walnut wood. It was a work of art as much as a method of transport. Another new bike has turned up that looks very old school. It looks like something that the Wright brothers might have torn the wheels off to make their first airplane. The bike is called the Epitaph Cruiser. Read The Full Story

Folding plug concept is the switch too

, Jul 18th 2011 Discuss [3]

I have seen a bunch of concepts for chargers and plugs over the years. Generally, the plugs are designs to save power and be more green. This new concept is a bit different and is designed to take up less space than your average plug with a head design that folds flat. The cord hinges at the prongs and the cool part is that it is the power switch too. Read The Full Story

3D printed mushroom cloud lamp costs $1495!

, Jul 18th 2011 Discuss [6]

I really like that you can print anything you can dream up with a 3D printer. If you give a design geek access to a 3D printer, you never know what they will dream up. Designers at the Veneridesign Studio have cooked up this awesome mushroom cloud lamp. The design of the lamp is intended to look like the cloud produced by a nuclear explosion. Read The Full Story

Concrete Building Blocks look like LEGO

, Jul 13th 2011 Discuss [0]

I like LEGO blocks and I really like to see the creations that geeks get up to making when they have plenty of blocks at their disposal. The thing that all the LEGO blocks I have seen in the past have in common is that they are made from plastic. A designer on Etsy has some cool LEGO blocks that aren’t made from plastic even thought they are sized like your typical block. Read The Full Story
