"The Japanese retail brand MUJI and LEGO teamed up to develop a set of 4 different boxes. Inside those boxes you’ll find the classic LEGO bricks but also a few sheets of paper. No big deal. But when you also have the right punch hole tool, you can combine both to create something new."

I hope the quality has improved on this. I bought one for my dad 2 years ago, and I never got it to work properly. I'm no Wifi expert, but I'm not a luddite, either. Each time I would go back to fiddle with it to try to get it to work, all I could think of was, "If *I* can't figure it out, imagine the head-scratching the average joe would have with this. Completely *NOT* user-friendly." And the support and online help for it was pitiful (and some of it in Engrish).

Oh, that does not sound very good. Hopefully it has improved.

:( It's been 2 years, so hopefully they've gotten enough hate mail to make it better. The concept of it was great; execution, not so much. :(

"A nice and (!) eco-friendly concept by NY based designer Harc Lee. As designer describes his project by himself: “A convex logo substitutes colorfully sprayed can. Naked can help to reduce air and water pollution occurred in its coloring process. It also reduces energy and effort to separate toxic color paint from aluminum in recycling process. Huge amount of energy and paint required to manufacture colored cans will be saved. Instead of toxic paint, manufacturers process aluminum with a pressing machine that indicates brand identity on surface. ”"

"The outlet appears to spin like a Vegas slot-machine, only instead of feeding it pennies from a paper cup, you feed it a plug from almost anywhere in the world. "

This looks very useful. It's even more so these days, when many items run on low-voltage supplies, and the power blocks that supply that low voltage accept anything between 110 and 250V AC.

It does. Too bad they don't know if it's real or not. No manufacturer or supplier info are available.

"Next year the Royal Mail will launch its stamp programme with a set of ten 1st class stamps designed by Studio Dempsey that celebrate classic British album covers - including Blur's Parklife (designed by Chris Thomson / Stylorouge. Photography: Bob Thomas), and New Order's Power, Corruption and Lies (designed by Peter Saville)" "Deciding what album covers to include was no easy task. Royal Mail tell us that they began the process by trawling through various existing polls of Greatest Album Covers. They also enlisted the help of editors from various leading UK music publications along with graphic designers and design writers who were asked to list the most significant album sleeve artwork used on records by British artists. The final selection of ten sleeves (which perhaps oddly doesn't feature one of The Beatles' album covers) will appear on a set of 10 stamps that will launch on January 7, 2010 - and the stamps will be uniquely shaped, as shown in these images, to accommodate a glimpse of a vinyl disc poking out of each record sleeve."
