BladeRunner – Dyson Runs Blades Right off of the Fan

Posted by on Oct 14, 2009 in Uncategorized | 0 comments


That quirky company that brought the world to its knees over purple vacuums that promised to suck have now tackled a different version of airflow: the fan.

Dubbed the AirMultiplier, Dyson delivers the first fan sans blades – sort of. If you review the full diagram you’ll see blades are still needed in the column portion. The overall look is without a doubt stunning, and could probably keep a mother of little ones happy with less risk of losing fingers. This would also make a great conversation piece in the office.

This company is absolutely inspiring in how they bring design to the masses.

However, hovering around $300+, you’ll need to debate if you should forego disappearing blades and opt for the disappearing magazine to fan yourself with instead.

Curb Your Enthusiam for Indie with Regretsy

Posted by on Oct 9, 2009 in Uncategorized | 3 comments

grateclockDo you find you spend hours upon hours (not to mention $$) admiring the fine, handmade items from Etsy?  It’s okay to be a fan of fine handicrafts, but if you need to kick your productivity up a notch, or simply get control of the number of tea cozys you are acquiring, set your new homepage to Regretsy.

First off, I want to say Etsy is a treasure trove of fabulous finds by some incredible artists! Regretsy singles out the sterotypical thoughts for handmade items. It’s every crafty nightmare all rolled into one website for your viewing pleasure.  Sure, you still have purchasing power here as the items link back to the actual seller, but we’re pretty confident you’ll be able to show a little more restraint with the likes of:

I’ve dubbed this one “On Golden Pond”

Gotta have a little fashion to be on this site

No guarantee you’ll shave a few hours off of the day as the train wrecks are pretty riveting.
