Here is a strange looking digital camera made by
IKEA out of cardboard. It was included as part of a press kit at an event in Europe recently, and apparently the “disposable” camera might go on sale sometime in the near future at IKEA. While it is unclear what kinds of pictures this cardboard camera can take (or what crazy Swedish name it has), it is believed IKEA may be looking to sell it in retail stores,
PetaPixel reports.
The camera uses two AA batteries and can store up to 40 pictures max. To upload the photos onto your computer, a USB stick swings out of the upper corner. Don't be fooled though it's still fragile like all other digital camera's, but it wouldn't be much of a lose monetary wise if it got wet or you lost it at a show.

I have always found terrariums to be fascinating and a great decor for the home and these two NY based designers
Jennica Johnstone and
Noah Atkinson have created their own style of terrariums called Mosser. The
Mosser ($10.00) is a small glass terrarium filled with a simple round moss ball. The Mosser comes with a glass mister bottle used to feed your plant. They are very easy to care for and only need to be sprayed once every two weeks with filtered water.
Mosser is about capturing simplicity and keeping it alive in one's space. We recognize the need to have something natural at your fingers tips in this day and age.
They are currently on back order due to the press and their stylish terrariums. But if you're willing to wait I'm sure you will be happy you did.

Let's continue are gaming experiences with a little bit of high tech added in. In the world of evolving games for your smart phones, gaming console's and PC's let me introduce the
Drone Controller ($65 and up) by
Evolution Controllers. This sleek, open-source controller will link up with your iOS, Android, or PC device via Bluetooth, and will offer dual analog joysticks, a digital G-Pad, six face buttons, two shoulder buttons, a rechargeable battery, and an open source SDK for developers to take advantage of this advance controller. Happy game play my friends.
How would you feel about owning a
Nintendo NES Controller Coffee Table? I know that I would be like Sweet! This custom made table was created by
Charles Lushear and let me tell you it is fully functional to get some games on once you remove the glass top. The cord is also fully retractable, so no messy cable issues. This baby is also made from maple, mahogany and walnut with dovetail joinery with mid century modern legs. So you know that it's durable and will take a lot of game play. So if you have $3,500 dollars lying around or you have been saving up money for something cool. Then here you go.
It seems the
iPhone gets another sweet music app that the
Android lacks, although I'm hoping
Swedish Propellerhead (the makers of Reason) will make it for the Android as well.
Figure is not your run of the mill beat grid style music app. This app is not only eye popping but it has controls that will make it easy for anyone to make music in minutes. They even have a thorough overview on their site on how to operate Figure and for a .99 cent app. You can't beat this (pun intended).
“I think we as an industry haven’t been that great about inviting people in who don’t have deep dreams about becoming big stars or understanding everything about music production, it’s time for that: I think everyone should be invited to be part of this. Figure is a small step towards that.” – says chief executive Ernst Nathorst Böös.

Miller Lagos is the creator behind the Book Igloo. This installation was created for
MagnanMetz Gallery in New York City and it's entitled simply
“Home”. Each book was carefully stacked to create a compact dome that is entirely self-supporting. I guess if you were bored, you could take a book from your house and have a nice read, although it would leave a hole in your house. Check out more of Miller Lagos work
