Efrat Gommeh of Israel designed locking coffee cups out of a high-impact ceramic to create both art, function and design when it came to storage. The exhibition poster shows designbloom sponsorship. According to Efrat’s own design portfolion blog, the cup has a hole which prevents people from using it. Only the owner of the cup can use his shaped key to close the hole and enjoy any beverage.
While not focused soley on coffee or tea, Efrat Gommeh’s site also shows other inventions like the pictured “Take it Easy” which introduces a hook-handled saucer that fits perfectly with a tea cup to make toting this famously dangerous duo an absolute breeze!

Want to keep your scruffiness entact but not hear that your watch is a piece of crap that embarasses your family on outings? The Diesel DZ1272 Copper Face (smaller in the picture above) retains a lot of the casual, bathe-and-go grooming that the early naughts introduced so many men to and still manages to deliver those wardrobe compliments for a Franklin. If looking like a Gloucester deckhand returning from four weeks at sea isn’t your usual, i.e. you’re not allergic to shaving, the DZ1283 still won’t break the budget at $120 (on sale and with free shipping here and there) and delivers a clean, retro, car racing style that fits most any occasion.
Got bucks? How about the DZ9054 with three time keeping faces from the Premium Collection included in Watchismo’s Super Bad Ass Collection? Lay out $395 bucks once and for all and track both girlfriends from different timezones making sure not to call on them at awkward hours. The leather straps on all watches will make telling PETA demonstrators what time it is an absolute gas. Watches ding and scratch and bump and still manage to be as noticable to those around you and as attractive as a sincere, trouble-free smile.

After Apple’s constant batting of almost a thousand, DELL is stepping to the plate with a hot, little candy shaped HD PC stuffed with up to 8GB of memory, Blu Ray ability and HDMI outputs. Customize it, take it nearly anywhere, name it, admire it, and as tempting as it is, don’t eat it. I love it so much….
The Dell Inspiron Zino HD packs a punch with up to 8 gigabytes of RAM, a TB of hard memory, Windows 7, Vista or Ubuntu Linux 9.04, a ATI Mobility RadeonTM HD 3200 or optional ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 for brilliant graphics to reduce lag time and scan lines. Also 4 USB connectors (2 front, 2 back), a 4-in-1 memory card reader in the face and a Mini PCIe WLAN card (802.11 b/g or 802.11 a/b/g/n)
To the high definition television this thing must go! Starting at $229 and ramping up four options to $649, it’s easy to see why this little gadget is exciting the masses. The more expensive two models come with HD monitors, 18.5” and 20.0” respectively. Only a packaged wireless keyboard and mouse would improve this offering from Dell. The Inspiron moniker just got new life with the bite-sized 8-inch by 8-inch Zino HD.
See it!

As HP almost says, “the SuperComputer is Personal!” Imagine, starting at just $25,000 USD, you could move all your computing done around the house (typically on your 320 PC’s and laptops) to just ONE little, tiny supercomputer, that one outlet describes as fitting into a broom closet, created by the legedary, Cray, name and powered by either Microsoft or Suse. Finally, you can easily manage all your earthquake tracking software predictions and automotive mechanical cyber testing to a central location!
It seems that Cray supercomputer sales fell as other retailers like DELL and HP made things a little smaller and cheaper. This is their attempt to “break back in” to the market. Wow! To their credit, it is awfully neat to see a supercomputer smaller than a vacuum cleaner. Gone are the days of building-sized number crunchers that terrified sci-fi authors.

There’s only one name to know when it comes to concept ships and examining the cluttered, abstract knife strokes and brushed shadows in spaceship design, John Berkey. If his work looks similar to something cult -ish from 1970’s Hollywood, you’re right! Lucas is no fool. Just as the Alien movie makers borrowed heavily from Geiger, Lucas and the later-named ILM group borrowed wisely from John Berkey.
We all see shapes and patterns in abstract strokes and movements in paintings, Berkey was (he’s deceased I think) the primo genius to use that technique to apply the viewer’s imagination to the already detailed painting. While the books with Berkey’s work are tough to find, look’em up. You won’t be let down.
