This is so sweet. I mean I know it’s pretty simple tech and you can get similar objects at nearly any nic-nak store (floating globe, floating top, etc), but that doesn’t make this any less awesome. It’s the HOVERBOARD! FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE! Next step: Standing [...]]]>

It’s a simple concept. What would you be willing to do for $5? Taking a bit of Craigslist, and a bit of Ebay, Fiverr is a community that allows people to advertise things that they would be willing to for a fixed price of $5. Current listings range from the funny (“I will record a 30 second voicemail message for you in the style of an English butler for $5″), to the helpful (“I will answer all your web development questions (php/js/html/css/mysql) for $5″) to the bizarre (“I will mail you a random object from my house (US residents only) for $5″). It looks to be super fun, and for $5 (of which Fiverr keeps $1 as a service fee), it’s cheap fun. (Found on TechCrunch)

This is sort of ridiculous. The first thing I think of is how slippery that floor will be every time you raise it. The second is how much it reminds me of the set of Cirque du Soleil’s show “O” in Las Vegas with their constantly morphing stage floor as it switches from a large pool to a large floor and every combination in between. The thing is this. For someone who can afford a pool like this, surely their house is large enough for another room that is large enough to use for social gatherings anyway, right? I mean, what other purpose is there to this design. Sure, it’s cool I can adjust the depth of the pool to whatever I want, but why?! (Found by Prerna on Gizmodo)

There are digital watches, and there are luxury watches, but rarely have those two worlds combines in such awesome fashion. Featuring three aluminium or titanium alloy discs-assemblies with 4 discs for the hour, 5 for the minutes and 1 disc for the tens of minutes, the 4N is set to be the first watch by the company of the same name. A scant 16 timepieces will be produced, more than guaranteeing that there are enough people in the world to part ways with their money for this exquisite masterpiece. (Found on Engadget)

Honestly, if I wasn’t about to get a new Macbook Pro (Damn it Apple…announce the new models already!), I would totally buy one of these decals. I’m normally against putting stickers on Macs.

Honestly, if I wasn’t about to get a new Macbook Pro (Damn it Apple…announce the new models already!), I would totally buy one of these decals. I’m normally against putting stickers on Macs. I mean, they look so clean and amazing just as they are. There are few things that can make the lid even cooler, and while their are some gorgeous full lid decals/skins, I personally really love the work done by etsy member lildecalshoppe. Ranging from the clever (above) to the cute, these decals truly enhance the look of your Macbook Pro. For now, I can just wait for the new model.

A clever map for all those who are so used to Google Maps, and wished you could zoom into an area on a paper map. Done up by Anne Stauche, the map2 is a genius implementation of the concept using folding paper. Already available for the city of London for just £ 8.00, the map provides with a clean and easy to read rendering of a bird’s eye view of London, with the ability to zoom down to a street level view.
