Give Your Bike Wingz

Posted: 31 Jan 2013 08:53 AM PST

The versatile Wingz Rack rethinks the way we transport gear on bicycles. Simultaneously radical and simplistic, the design differs from others by utilizing hinged bars that are able to be fixed in any position to accommodate a wide variety of gear, large or small. It’s a lighter, less bulky alternative to baskets and saddle bags. Simply secure cargo with the bungee strap and you’re good to go!
Wingz incorporates several features:

-Slotted design on the bars to allow for a variety of bungee strap/cord configurations

-Polyurethane friction strips on top of the bars to prevent your gear from sliding off (i.e. books, boxes, crates, etc)

- Seatpost adapter with integrated rubber suspension block to absorb shocks while riding over rough terrain and further protect your gear from damage

- Hybrid fender/rack fin that can support additional cargo AND protect your gear from mud/slush/rain

- Removable clamp adapters that are easy to install/remove in case you want to stow away your rack and fender

- Easy to use thumb screws and QR (quick release) pins so you don’t have to rely on tools while on the go

Designer: Beda Angelo Ignacio Pormentilla

Home Made Espresso Cup

Posted: 31 Jan 2013 08:09 AM PST

It was interesting to observe the Italians get out of their homes and head straight to the café for their first shot of espresso to get them ready for their day ahead. I know many cultures follow this norm, but a good cuppa espresso can be enjoyed at home thanks to the single-cup espresso maker Piamo.

Piamo is the first espresso maker worldwide that works in the microwave. It makes the perfect cuppa brew within 30 seconds. Whether you prefer pads or ground coffee, Piamo can do both.

Simply fill in water and insert an espresso pad or ground coffee. Stack it, flip it and place Piamo in your microwave. Thankfully Piamo is available through crowdfunding.

My Next iPad

Posted: 31 Jan 2013 07:48 AM PST

So the rumor mills are grinding out many new stories about a new iPhone and iPad; however none of them are impressive enough. Basically Apple has toted with shape and size more than anything else for the two devices. Designer Ricardo Luis Monteiro Afonso (love the name!) has his own vision for the tablet. It's sleek, its sexy and its transparent! Now that's something different right!

How’s it do that?

Posted: 31 Jan 2013 12:01 AM PST

No, you’re not losing your mind… the 2×4 lamp is just designed to deceive! A single 2×4, LED strip and frosted glass are suspended by near-invisible monofilament line, giving it the appearance of floating effortlessly before the eyes. Its decorative red cord is purposely left loose, dangling from the ceiling to enhance the illusion.
