Equation: Strut + Style

In this case, the name of this Peacock Chair by Dror Benshetrit is perfectly apt. And since we love peacocks so much, I thought I should share it with you.

I love how the shape of the Eiffel Tower just lends itself to cheese grating.

P.S. I still think that cheese graters are scary.

I don't know you guys. Do you find the faux earbuds to be nifty or lame?

At the very least, you find it a few steps up from the typical, cheesy novelty tie, right?

These Memorings are post-its that double as memory joggers...sort of like tying a piece of string around your finger, except with more paper cuts.

I'm still not sure what the connection is between one's portable music device and one's notebook, but I'm willing to be convinced that this combination Nano case and notebook is a good idea. What would you jot down whilst listening to your pick-me-up playlist?

Equation: A Bright Idea?

Steph Auteri — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:50:00 GMT

The Pocket Light is about the size of a credit card and powered by a small cell. It's still in the design stage, but I'm thinking it's a pretty bright idea...perhaps even bright enough to make it to production?

Happy Hour: Think While You Drink

Brian Marabello — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:00:00 GMT

Drinking isn’t very educational. In fact, it’s the enemy of education. It kills the brain cells that education has so steadfastly populated with data. Until now…

Australian wine label Black Swan aims to leave you no dumber than when you opened their bottles. Or, at least, make you laugh in earnest before the alcohol makes you laugh at any stupid thing.

They’re emblazoning their corks with fun equations, like:

Other equations include:

Infomercial = information + commercial + but wait, there’s more
Text Message = telegram - vwls
Disenfranchisement = one person – one vote
Insomnia = 1:51 am + eternity + 1:52 am + eternity + 1:53 am + eternity

All word equations are courtesy of Craig Damrauer. Most are taken from his book, New Math: Equations for Living. Yay, scholarly boozing.
