A classic has been brought back and that is the Polaroid SX-70.  It was the very first folding SLR and the first camera to take integral instant film, only made up until 1977.  This limited edition Polaroid SX-70 isn't a modern remake of the classic, it is the classic, restored so it works just as well as it did back in the early 70's.

In being that it's a classic and it's a limited edition be prepared to pay $300 bucks for this baby. Currently, the site Photojojo is already out of stock but it looks like they will be shipping more in mid October.  In the mean time you can just use Instragram, but its got nothing on this camera.

A Japanese artist Akinobu Izumi created these miniature paper sculptures and puts them into miniature bottles.  Each bottle is only 0.9 inch long and 0.5 inch high. These professional architectural models are done with skill and free time.

I would assume it takes some free time to create these small sculptures. If your interested you can purchase them over at Akinobu Etsy store for around $23 - $44 dollars.

Australia-based artist Ghostpatrol has created these interesting pencil set illustrations with the use of many pencils. He has transformed the pencil from tools to a canvas in a playful art that combines sculpture with illustration. Neatly lining up wooden pencils whose cores have been shaven down to form a blank surface for twee portraits of young'uns and frolicking woodland creatures, his collection evokes innocence and childhood nostalgia in both form and content. You can see the entire series of over 60 illustrations here.

I haven't written about a new phone in a while. It seems that they're all the same just with a couple of difference specifications, however, that doesn't mean that a few differences can't make a big difference. The Samsung Galaxy Note (TBA) is one of those phones.  This phone is equipped with the world’s first 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED Display (WXGA 1280×800, 285ppi). It sports a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 8MP camera with LED flash, 2MP camera on the front, full HD video recording / playback support for MPEG4, DivX, Xvid and more.  Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, optional NFC, A-GPS, microSD card slot and a 2,500mAh battery.

It also has an old school feature of the stylus with a new and improved process. What Samsung calls the S Pen which is a digital pen that is very accurate and produces thin lines without bleeding, which can make you replace the notepad you always bring with you. 






 

Linda Dong, Akshday Udiavar and Albert Chong designed an eco-friendly and stylish Compost Lunch Bag. It provides a hip and convenient way of disposing of food. The goal was to encourage people to compost the leftovers of their lunches in order to address the issue of food waste. Food waste is a huge economic and energy exhaustion, but it also harms the environment with methane gases when disposed in landfills. 

Their solution was to design a lunch bag that could help with this issue of food waste. The lunch bag contains a biodegradable insert where scraps can be disposed. The scraps can be composted right away or stored until the user gets home. The design is not only stylish but when the materials were being considered they want it to be environmentally friendly just as much as it looks good.

This looks to be like a lunch bag that I would definitely rock out. So to the creators of this lunch bag. If you need a reviewer for your lunch bag. I'm your man!

The home under the trees was a property where 90% was covered by Aukerlands native Pohutukawa trees.  Herbst the architects behind this home in New Zeland had a challenge when it came to tackling the issue of the tree coverage. "In order for the home to exist it would require the destruction of a large number of mature trees.  To do this we looked to the trees themselves to give us the cues that we needed" the two architects explained.

Herbst separated the house into private and public components. The private functions of the bedrooms and garage are housed in two towers which are construed as freshly sawn stumps of the trees that were removed. The use of black/brown stained rough sawn irregular battens on the exterior of the home make for an illusion with the interior to make it almost look carved out. This is a beautiful home where the interior and exterior colors work together to give the home a comfortable and contemporary feel to it. The Pohutukawa home is designed to be the perfect get away. A secluded home to give you a chance to reconnect with nature.

We all want watches that are stylishly designed but we still need them to function properly. Let me introduce the Mutewatch ($259), a simple and intuitive watch that comes in three different colors.  Just by tapping the flat surface the touch screen becomes active and lights up, then from there swipe through the functions - clock, alarm and timer. You can set the time for your alarm by tapping directly on the digits — tap on the top of the digit for a higher number or on the bottom of the digit for a lower one. When you want to erase an alarm, simply pinch the touch screen. It's that simple. The Mutewatch also features a built-in motion sensor that registers your movement and automatically adjusts the strength of the vibrations for your notifications. So whether you're sleeping, or on stage giving a presentation the Mutewatch will keep you up to date.
 

I couldn't resist in sharing what the cast of Zelda would look like if they were hipsters. As you can see no hipster can be complete without the PBR or in Zelda's world,  "Lon Lon Milk".  The one of Ganon is by far one of my favorites cause gingers rock! Then you have Princess Zelda smoking up some American Spirits while rocking out with her stylish headband. Man, you've got to love Hipsters! The artist behind these illustrations is Dan Jones or on Deviant Art CauseImDanJones.  If you want to check more of his work click here.
