Minima, Bottle 90 cl

This remarkable and clean looking bottle is appropriately called “Minima” so let’s not waste any words. Its tall, slender and has curves in all the right places. That’s a winning formula for this bottle and more.

Propello Desktop fan

Granted, its cold up here in the northern USA, but how can you resist such a good looking desk fan? It tilts and blows air (what else?). Worried about them fingers? Don’t be. The blades are made of rubber.

Green Cyber-shot T77 Digital Camera

My first digital camera was a Sony. A Sony Cyber-shot actually that had, oh I don’t know, 4 pixels of resolution at that prehistoric time. Needless to say, things have moved along somewhat since then. This green beauty sports “10.1-megapixel, 3.0″ touch screen, 4X optical zoom, Face Detection, Smile Shutter™ mode, new Anti-blink function”, according to Sony. So, just about anything a camera this size dreams about and then some.

We seem to have taken a rather long vacation!

Things happen, even during vacation. A crisis of sorts and then the backup editor is also gone! Anyhow, we are back in force from next week. Sorry for the interruption, but we are back in style and plan to hang around!

The team.

Myco Gourmet Appetize Collection

Serving appetizers is a great way to show your culinary creativity (the Spanish have made a entire tapas culture around this). If you are going for the high ground in little stuff then you should consider some cool serving-ware and that is what the Appetize collection delivers. Designed by the Belgium designer Nedda El-Asmar, the pieces are inspired by the Japanese tea leave seedlings.

Dell Studio 15 laptops

Okay, I guess Dell and dull are no longer synonyms; we are surprised to see that they have finally hired a decent designer (or two) and are finally putting their heart in the products. This Studio laptop series certainly takes things in the right direction. Power and looks always makes for a killer combo.

I just like these modern and clean looking glasses; a new take on the classical Paris bistro style glasses. Designed by Erik Bagger of Denmark.

SAMSUNG NV24HD camera

We maintain that where gadgets are concerned, design has not yet caught up with functionality. But its changing. Here is another case in point; the brilliant NV24HD camera from Samsung. Boasting a 10.2 MP sensor and the ability to record videos in high definition in a great looking, clean package. Obviously, if we were to go over the specs, we would just be repeating what can be found here. Looks like Samsung has a winner in both the functionality and looks department.
