For all you Tea and Robot lovers, let me introduce to you the
Armed with Technology Tea Infuser ($14.99) by
ModCloth. This little bugger will be brewing you up some robot tea in no time.
Since, I'm a huge tea drinker and I think robots are pretty sweet; I can respect these little guy. Plus, it would be funny to see some of the face of people when they walk by my desk at work. This product is a Holiday Sneak Peek on ModCloth but it should be available sometime this month. So if you're looking for Holiday gifts already then pick up a robot tea infuser or see
what other cool stuff they have.
A private family home located in Israel's urban neighborhood has a minimal design with huge design aspects. The home's exterior looks as though it's just a plain white box, nothing really fancy right. Within the box though, long horizontal lines have been opened which connect the house to its surroundings. These lines give a feeling of being frozen in time inside this box. The openings also make it possible for natural light to penetrate during the day, while at night, light seeps out into its surroundings. With having all this light fluctuation, it gives this home a more radical surrounding, then those of other urban homes.
Someone asked me the other day if there would be a time when watches would no longer be worn. In the era of technology it's easier to just look at your phone. However, I don't think that watches will lose their purpose anytime soon. Watches are not only used to tell time but also to accessorize your style.
This fall if you're looking for a watch that is not only stylish but puts another twist on telling time to give it's unique style, then the
Nooka - ZAZ watch is for you. The
ZAZ model ($350) doesn't show the time like any other watch, instead of using numbers like on digital watches. It uses 24 bars to indicate hours and 60 bars for the minutes, filling each one according to the specific time over a transparent screen, which gives the illusion of displaying the bars right over your arm. So if you're looking for something different and futuristic then this watch is definitely for you. The watch comes in three different versions; they have it in black and white with leather bands or steel mesh ones.
So begins the slow descent into the days where our evenings become darker and the sunsets become a haven of beautiful colors. With this realization the only thing I can think of to match that feeling would be a new Playlist to fill your ears with music that matches the harvest sunsets. Lastly, here are some recommendations on some new finds like
Goyte,
Korallreven,
Ghost Town DJ's and more.. that you should check out.

Matthew Lim, a recent grad student has created the EcoVinyl ($350), a turntable-headphone duo made from sustainable materials. This was created to help
Sennheiser a German audio company boast their branding and draw in a younger crowd with this product. The company has already introduced sustainable packaging so how about taking it to the next step with sustainable products.
Lim created this duo by choosing high-density fiberboard, which is often used in audio-system closure boxes. He used cork for the turntable and the earphone headband; and aluminum, which he CNC'd to produce a durable body. This ready-to-go set has a small carbon footprint with 45% fiberboard, which is recyclable and biodegradable. The metal body that it comes in can easily be removed with an Allen wrench and recycled. This product however is still a concept and Sennheiser has yet to commit to Lim's project. Either way, do you think this would help the company change it's branding to a younger crowd? Seeing how the company has been around for 60 years and only about 10% of headphone consumers knows who this company is. Leave a comment, would like to see what you think.

The Morten family was looking to redesign a barn but were unable to do find any. So what was the next thing they could do? They built a summer house in Gotland, Sweden, which was just as simple as a barn. The 64-square-foot home was built with just one single room with two sleeping boxes at each end of the house. Being that the house is just one single room. I think they did a great job on utilizing the space that was available to them. What do you think?
