Magpie iPod Outfit
(27 March 2006) - Anyone who's spent any time South of the border has seen the color-splashed oilcloths that Austin-based designer Maggie Stephens uses to make her Magpie iPod Nano "outfits". Stephens, a marathon runner, came up with the design after she couldn't find a functional yet still good-looking way to carry her Nano when training. Already the owner of Magpie, a successful accessories business, Stephens designed the...

Gorillapod
(24 March 2006) - Camera tripods are one of the albatross holdovers from the Paleolithic era of film. Allegedly, digital cameras have stabilization technology, but in both the professional and consumer market, this claim is just sales copy. So unless you're working on a Lars Von Trier version of college room mate Tricia’s wedding rehearsal, lugging the tripod remains essential. Joby’s Gorrillapod, a miniature tripod with flexible legs...

Mobile Game Mosh
(20 March 2006) - The second annual 24 hour game design jam took place at Parsons last weekend. Following the structure of last year's Mobile Game Mosh, focuses on mobile games for cell phones.

Mobile Beauty Cell Phone Mirrors
(28 February 2006) - At the risk of getting flak for yet another skull-related item, these little stick-on mirrors are a ingenious example of a device that's as elegant as it is useful. Plus, there's the inherent irony of a skull- or heart-shaped reflection. (Other options like lightning bolts, four-leaf clovers, and stars, have all had their day as trends too, but aren't quite as subtly clever.)$12 from...

Gravis Black Box Collection
(03 February 2006) - Nearly every company at the Action Sports Retailer show (ASR) seemed to be hooking-up some sort of collaboration — from DVS shoes photo-printed insoles and packaging to Retail Mafia-designed Boost Mobile phones sold in briefcases with accessories. Among the many ventures, the Gravis' Black Box Collection stood out for aesthetics, durability, and usefulness. Black Box is Gravis’ limited collection of shoes, bags and accessories...

Garmin Nüvi
(01 February 2006) - I have a pretty good sense of direction, but every time I visit LA I become navigationally challenged—especially when it comes to trying to avoid the traffic. This trip (I've been here for 3 days, now) has been a breeze thanks to the Garmin Nüvi I've been demoing. The Nüvi ia a touch-screen GPS device that's small, light and pretty easy to use. All...

Knock Knock's Text Message and Cell Citation Pads
(25 January 2006) - From Knock Knock, stationers and disciples of irreverence, these Text Message and Cell Citation pads, are perfect gifts in the age of mobile communication. The extensive translations of text messages, like "FUD: Fear, Uncertainty, & Doubt" and "IMBP: I Might Be Pregnant," are sure to amuse — if not also educate — even the most savvy texters and the format takes note-writing to a...

Skullcandy Guitar Bag
(09 January 2006) - Tucked in a corner at CES last week was Skullcandy, a manufacturer of headphones and other music listening devices. They have a series of backpacks, called Link, that feature amplified speakers and music player controls in the shoulder straps—these features aren't novel, but the price and design are great. The latest addition to their backpack line is this guitar bag, a seemingly appropriate product...

Hanspree Televisions
(06 January 2006) - One of the things that's struck our eye here at CES in Las Vegas are these fun and inexpensive television sets from Hanspree. They come in dozens of shapes and styles for kids, sports fans and design freaks and are well priced. While the occasional character or sports team set is not new, we like that Hanspree is producing a whole range of televisions...

Maloo Laptop Cases
(06 December 2005) - How do you get from a Kimono to a laptop case? Designer Katja Hettler and architect Jula Tüllmann (hettler.tuellmann) won the YOnoBI design competition, which sent them to Japan to collaborate with Mizuta, a manufacturer of traditional Kimono fabric. The upshot was their first folding laptop case made from Kimono material. The duo since founded Berlin-based Maloo with the mission of creating well-designed, ecologically...

Freeline Skates
(14 November 2005) - Skateboarding x snowboarding x surfing = Freelining, a new sport invented by Ryan Farrelly that looks totally whack. Freeline skates each have two wheels which are attached to a small aluminum frame with a flat top that has grip tape on top. There are no straps—you ride it like a small skateboard under each foot. Check out these videos, which show you how to...

(27 October 2005) - The Burton Ronin Espionage Jacket has everything you need to rock the mountain in style and comfort. The jacket, which is available in 4 different colorways, also has an integrated digital camera for stealthily snapping pics.

Flirtomatic
(25 October 2005) - When it comes to anything mobile Europe has always been ahead of the U.S. For example, there have been mobile dating/mating applications over there for years.

Peyton's Podcast
(21 October 2005) - Our friend Svenja noticed in this week's episode of the WB's 'One Tree Hill' that Peyton, one of the main characters, recorded her thoughts on a podcast. In the show's credits, after the usual 'songs you heard in this episode' promotion, viewers were invited to link to iTunes. There, as this week's feature, you can subscribe to a season of Peyton's teen angst. We'll...

Mini Concept Tokyo
(20 October 2005) - Mini Traveller concept shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show was created as a tribute to the original 1960 Traveller. It's a good looking consideration for how to evolve a Mini to be a better schlepper. Yesterday, at the Tokyo Auto Show, Mini presented an updated Traveller, this time a design exploration focused on the 21st century motoring Englishman. The Mini Concept Tokyo, as they've been...

TranStrap
(23 September 2005) - I think of riding the subway as urban snowboard practice; I'm also a bit of a germaphobe. This usually results in a wide stance with back to doors and hands in pockets. But sometimes the ride is particularly bumpy or I'm just not in the mood and this results in the uncouth pulling of a shirt sleeve over the hand to provide a barrier...
