The Meaning of Tingo
(13 January 2006) - The Meaning of Tingo is Adam Jacot de Boinod's new book surveying words around the world that are seldom found in other languages. The book is packed with little gems, such as the longest known palindrome in any language, the Finnish word saippuakivikauppias, the 27 Albanian words for moustaches and eyebrows, the Hawaiian word for walking away without listening to directions 'akihi among them....

The Hooker
(12 January 2006) - Famed NYC restaurant Per Se provides footstools for guest's handbags, while the queen of England reportedly has hooks installed wherever she dines. For those lacking the right title or reservations, The Purse Hook, a simple, weighted metal arm that attaches to table edges, is an ingenious solution.

(12 January 2006) - Transmaterial, Blain Brownell's wonderful newsletter of all sorts of building material innovations, is finally being published as a book. Tile Toy and Flexicomb are just a couple of the fascinating things we found out about through TM and we're looking forward to the book both as brain candy and as a resource for more.

TETRAN
(12 January 2006) - While wandering through Macworld (and after viewing a zillion iPod accessories later), I stumbled upon these little fellas, known as TETRAN, in the back corner of the exhibit hall. There's something vaguely satisfying about seeing that cute spikey thing all wrapped up in those white iPod headphone wires with the earbuds shoved in its mouth. Although the website claims that they're for storing your...

Jabra JX-10
(11 January 2006) - Though it was announced about 9 months ago, I only got my hands on the new Jabra JX-10 Bluetooth headset last week and have been using it non-stop ever since. The Jacob Jensen-designed wonder is light, comfortable and great looking. I almost want a second one for my other ear just to emphasize the point that it's as much jewelry as it is a...

Nurseryworks Platform Crib
(11 January 2006) - Nurseryworks makes all kinds of stylin' gear for babies with great taste. One of our favorites is this Platform crib, which comes in several hip colors. You can select the style of the slats, the type of wood, and even convert it to a bed when the time comes. Their sheets and furniture are equally impressive. The crib is around $900 depending on materials...

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...

Low Tee Bathing Suits
(09 January 2006) - Low Tee makes men's bathing suits from vintage t-shirts (props for recycling). The suits are fully lined in Lycra, and have elastic around the legs and waist, which also has a drawstring. Because the suits are made from vintage t-shirts they are all one-of-a-kind (which we also like). And if you ask nicely you could probably send in one of your own shirts to...

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...

Cableyoyo Pop
(04 January 2006) - From the Los Angeles-based Bluelounge, the same design studio that brought last year's prize-winning Cableyoyo, comes the Cableyoyo Pop, a device designed to neatly secure wires to mobile music players or phones. Following the same basic design principle of the original, a flat plastic "yo-yo" hub winds wires safely out of the way. The key difference is a smaller size, a suction cup that...

Furni
(03 January 2006) - Named after 80s skater legend Mark "Gator" Anthony (who's currently serving time), designer Mike Giles, 28, (a skater himself) thought it'd be fitting to name this birch veneer digital clock (pictured) after the infamous figure.
