Yeah, but does it move me?
When Jack Frost is nipping at your nose – along with other parts of your body – nothing beats wrapping your hands around a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. Now there’s a mug designed to enhance that particular type of wintertime joy.
We’ve shown you big 3D printers and small 3D printers before, but none of those discussed previously create such delicious results.
There are all kinds of clocks being used these days, showing just how important time is to us, but this stylish new take on keeping track of time puts a brand-new perspective on things by losing the numbers and keeping track of the year instead of the hours.
There’s no question that modern materials have revolutionized living spaces, but for the most part these advances have been fairly conventional in style. However one enterprising French designer has taken a whole new direction in terms of harmonious accommodation with his new bubble room idea.
There are a number of effective renewable energy sources, wind and solar perhaps being the best known. But who would have thought that the lowly brussel sprout would be included in that group? The Designworks group has built the world’s first Brussels sprout-powered battery and hooked it up to a set of Christmas tree lights in London. After a survey found that most children in the UK would like to take Brussels sprouts off of the traditional Christmas menu, the…
The Internet comes to life with GIFs, those fun animated photos that let us enjoy everything from animated, oddly-shaped Garfields flying through the air to Tom Hiddleston’s Loki pushing a child down, but it’s fun that can only be had online because the real world only has boring photos that don’t move. Until now.
If the sight of the DNA Helix makes you have nasty flashbacks of sitting in a classroom and staring blankly at a pop quiz, you might need this soothing mood enhancer more than other people.
Everybody, even cubicle rats, like to enjoy the great outdoors every now and then. Even a brief glimpse of something that doesn’t scream ‘office environment’ can make the day seem a little brighter, even if that glimpse is nothing but a mere illusion.

There’s a growing number of sites devoted to delivering movies to us, which is good news for those of us who enjoy a bit of down time now and then.

If you spent most of your childhood in the time-out corner simply because you were trying to express your creative nature, you’re going to enjoy the chance to finally unleash that little rebel artist trapped within you.
We can’t all be Banksy and wander around the street creating mind-blowing art, but that shouldn’t stop us trying. And lots do. There’s an Azerbaijani parking attendant, for example, who’s created quite a name for himself through his amazing artwork on grubby cars, so much so that people are now deliberately leaving their vehicles dirty to have his handiwork displayed on their car.
Among the newer architectural and interior decorating styles, concrete seems to be making headway. We’re not talking about the dull gray or gray-white sidewalk stuff but rather beautifully designed, stylized concrete such as Crips Concrete tiles. Created by designer Levi Fignar, these elegant looking tiles come in a variety of styles and colors. Glassy and reflective, they offer a modern, often delicate-looking finish. And they’ll definitely be a conversation piece. Still, they also provide a look of luxury, even while…
Footbridges and conservation have gone together for some time. There are footbridges that allow wildlife to safely cross highways and others strictly for two-legged folks. The new River Hull Footbridge, located east of the northern English town of Hull, connects its Old Town conservation area to an industrial space currently undergoing redevelopment. And it does it with a unique style and grace. Designed by the British architectural firm McDowell & Benedetti, this innovative £6.5 million hi-tech footbridge won an international…
