20100511301

What’s the angel and devil respectively whispering to you? The secret of the heaven and that of the infernal region? Whatever, it’s still interesting to see them together- one is on your left and the other on the right. Coming in 5 color combinations (white angel with black, purple, magenta, pink or red devil), the Angel & Devil Earphones are not new designs but really popular enough to be recommended again. So what are you waiting for? Get yours now. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Rgb Rainbow Glasses

20100511201

When we buy glasses (or clothes), a question that is often asked is “Does this color look good on me?” But the truth is usually that you may still like other colors even though you’ve just bought a new pair. The Rgb Rainbow Glasses, however, allow you to change their colors frequently, because they’re built with an internal channel that can be filled with various colorful inks. Wow, that would save me a lot of  money. [Read the rest of this entry...]

The Ticket Shows You To The Seats.

20100510301

I like GPS. You open it and the tour guides you around the whole city. I also like ushers. You just need follow them and they’ll soon take you to the seats. And maybe that’s also why I don’t like public conveyances like the trains and airplanes that much. Neither of them has a GPS, or ushers, or audio tours to show us to our seats, and as a result, we have to move around slowly to find the right seat. That’s very annoying at times. But fortunately, Yong-jin Kim has come up with the “Where Is My Seat” concept, a boarding pass printed with a pictograph of your seat location, to guide you to the seat quickly and conveniently. Simple but really practical. [Read the rest of this entry...]

It can last quite a long time, allowing the users to reheat them for thousands of times. You don’t believe? Get one pair home and try it out then. [Read the rest of this entry...]

It is equipped with a sensor, which could ‘count’ the amount of coins you put inside. And the most exciting point is that, the more coins you put into the box, the bigger the diamond you’ll find on the surface. Yes, I love that! [Read the rest of this entry...]
