Business Cards
Everyone’s heard of the mysterious magic wallet. Throw your cash or cards into the magical contraption, close it and poof, all your loot is securely strapped down thanks to elastic straps and sorcery. We always thought the idea of the magic wallet was cool, but in practice it always felt a little cheap. The magicians at Sydney based Dosh have cracked the code of the magic wallet and made a high quality version for dudes of discerning taste to enjoy.

Yesterday was 1 April ( April Fools’ Day ), and this door chain concept designed by Artemy Lebedev fell into the category of a good joke. I don’t like the April Fools’ Day, but this door chair is really funny, and appropriate for a day like this. The only problem with something like this might be …if you have a visitor you might have a dialog like this : “ I’ll be right there, hold on! “, after 2 minutes … “ Just one more minute, I’ve almost got it! “, because the chain is long enough to reach the far end of the maze. – Via – Tranism

The Original Electric Car: Unplugged? Perhaps the most notorious suppressed invention is the General Motors EV1, subject of the 2006 documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car? The EV1 was the world's first mass-produced electric car, with 800 of them up for lease from GM in the late '90s. GM ended the EV1 line in 1999, stating that consumers weren't happy with the limited driving range of the car's batteries, making it unprofitable to continue production. Many skeptics, however, believe GM killed the EV1 under pressure from oil companies, who stand to lose the most if high-efficiency vehicles conquer the market. It didn't help that GM hunted down and destroyed every last EV1, ensuring the technology would die out.

Designed by Wonjune Song , from Connect Design – the Watch Diary is a hardback paper notebook with an analog clock sitting in the middle. Like the Hungry Caterpillar book, which has holes punched in its pages, the Watch Diary has a circle punched through from front to back, allowing the clock to peek out. This, combined with a clever page design, makes for a rather intuitive scheduling tool.
