An Ingenious Clock Gently Motivates Serial Procrastinators | Co.Design. We would've gotten to this post earlier but we just kinda' put it off. So... Sorry, sidetracked again! But we're here now! And we've got a great little product to tell you about: a clock designed to help procrastinators -- well okay, anyone really, but especially procrastinators -- organize their lives. Should, Coulda, Woulda, by Swedish design student Maria Bergström, is a blank-face wall clock that comes with a set of colorful leather-covered magnets. The photos do a good job of showing how this thing works. Whoops, looks like he fluffed it on a couple of them: And another... We think this is an awesome idea, not least of all because you can totally ignore it if you're not feeling motivated.
[Images courtesy of Maria Bergström; hat tip to Design Sponge] John F. Kennedy Berliner Quote. Claim: President John F. Kennedy called himself a jelly donut in his famous 1963 speech in Berlin, Germany. Origins: On 26 June 1963, President John F. Kennedy gave a speech in support of the citizens of West Berlin after the erection of the Berlin Wall. During that speech, Kennedy proclaimed solidarity with the citizens of Berlin by stating "Ich bin ein Berliner" (i.e., "I am a Berliner"). So where did the jelly donut claims originate? The grammatical debate hinges on the article ein. What remains is the question, did Germans really think Kennedy called himself a jelly donut, and, well, did he? Claims of laughter during the speech itself are actually heard in response to Kennedy's joking remark, "I appreciate my interpreter translating my German," made after the applause died down from the first time he uttered the famous line, which he had scrawled out phonetically in his notes.
Mental_floss Blog & Gifts for the Geek Home. A home should be an expression of who you are. Sure, when you're young and broke, your room or apartment might be an expression of who your parents or the people who donate to Goodwill are, but gradually you collect items that express your personality, whether you receive them as gifts or purchase them yourself. If you are a technologically oriented geek, there are plenty of manufacturers and vendors catering to your tastes in home decor. Interactive LED Dining Table Windell Oksay of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories built a dining room table with 448 LEDs inside. The lights respond to movement on and above the table surface! No, not a motion sensor, but light sensors that detect shadows and respond appropriately by activating LEDs in those areas. This is a one-of-a-kind project, but if you are handy you can make your own with the extensive documentation of the project as your guide.
