Robin Behrstock has a novel product idea and is actively sourcing funding on KickStarter. The product is called the iZen Bamboo Keyboard for iPad. The pitch page has a lot to say about this product idea. What I have to say about it is rather short by comparison... lovely. I have a ...
35 years 100,000 toothpicks A s#!& load of Elmer’s glue Add these elements together and you may have a few quirky ideas of what's achievable. For Scott Weaver it was absurdly obvious.

I'm still having a little hiatus from my soapbox posts so here is another quick and inspiring one. Here is a beautiful concept piece for a new direction in Coca Cola 50cl bottles. There really isn't much to say other than the obligatory 'ooohs' and 'ahhhs'. Suffice to say that if ...
