Aspiral Clocks


Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'...

The Aspiral Clock is pretty simple and totally genius. Instead of a dial, a spiral and instead of hands, a ball.

Designed and produced in London by Will Aspinall and Niel Lambeth, the face of the Aspiral Clock turns slowly over a twelve hour period while a ball rests on the spiral ledge. As the clock reaches the final twelfth hour the ball drops through a hole and the twelve hour process begins again.

Awesome!

Brilliant!


In February 2009, Jim McKelvey wasn’t able to sell a piece of his glass art because he couldn’t accept a credit card as payment. Even though a majority of payments has moved to plastic cards, accepting payments from cards is still difficult, requiring long applications, expensive hardware, and an overly complex experience. Square was born a few days later right next to the old San Francisco US Mint.


Today the Square team is focused on bringing immediacy, transparency, and approachability to the world of payments: an inherently social interaction each of us participates in daily. We’re starting with a limited beta and rolling out to everyone in early 2010.



Square is backed by Khosla Ventures and a team of angels.

Square is going to be HUGE.

Idea Paint


Genius. Introducing Idea Paint, a paint that turns any paintable surface into a dry-erase board.


Half the cost of whiteboard and better-performing + you can leave marks up indefinitely, and they won't stain the wall.

I can't wait to try this!

Forget Knight Rider and Hal, thanks to the smart folks at TomTom getting from point A to B just got a lot more fun with the addition of Homer Simpson as your onboard guide!

Ciao Bella


The Spoon Sisters do it again!

Even if the guy’s dressed in his favorite old white tee shirt, with this napkin at his neck he’ll actually look like he made the effort to get "dressed for dinner". A great conversation piece at any party. 20 paper napkins to a package; five of each design. Cello wrapped. Measure 13” x 13”.

Grab some: Dress For Dinner Napkins.

Genius Concept.


Absolutely Genius. Even if you don't have kids, you gotta love this.

Dig Handipoints, a digital chore-list manager for parents and their kids.

Very cool idea, but if you ask me, I'm pretty sure there'd be alot more chores done if the rewards section included PayPal or an iTunes card.

And while we're at it, let's get the daycare centers to hire senior citizens to nurture and teach the young ones and then next we can add the ability for doctors to check our medical histories on their iPhones and then we'd all have nicer weekends...

Copywriting At It's Finest


The Bum.

I found this in the September issue of an old Sunset magazine from 1964, page 206 to be exact.

I just totally dig the copy for this BBQ ad from the Columbus Iron Works Company.

Now that's copywriting at it's finest.
