Cool Hunting
Sunday Times: All aboard for a journey to the wild side by Josh Rubin
GADGET ORACLE
Josh, a designer living in New York, brings you his pick of what’s cool at the intersection of new design, culture and technology. The website is a success because he has a genuinely good and eclectic eye, and it is great fun flicking from his experience of the Adidas_1 trainer (which contains a microchip to adjust cushioning as you run); to Clocky, an alarm clock on wheels that runs away after you press “snooze”, ensuring that the next time the pesky timepiece rings, you have to get up; to a Mexican football stadium being built to resemble a volcano; to an undersea hotel; to a bed with built-in cinema. When will the future be here? Josh can tell you.
