This Awesome Urn Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die | Design for Good | Big Think - StumbleUpon You don't find many designers working in the funeral business thinking about more creative ways for you to leave this world (and maybe they should be). However, the product designer Gerard Moline has combined the romantic notion of life after death with an eco solution to the dirty business of the actual, you know, transition. His Bios Urn is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree. Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow. You even have the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on what kind of planting space you prefer. I, personally, would much rather leave behind a tree than a tombstone.

Sandisk reveals world's fastest 128GB SDXC Card SanDisk has announced that its new 128GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I card, which boasts read/write speeds of up to 45 MB/s, is now shipping About eighteen months ago, SanDisk revealed the world's fastest 32GB SDHC media card, pushing the format's data transfer speeds up to a rather lively 30 megabytes per second (MB/s). Since then, the SDXC standard has been let loose on the world, with the promise of theoretical capacities of anything up to 2TB and file transfer rates up to 104 MB/s for the UHS-I flavor and 312MB/s for UHS-II. While we're not quite there yet, SanDisk is again claiming the "world's fastest" crown with its new 128GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I card, which boasts read/write speeds of up to 45 MB/s. Now that today's high end digital cameras are capable of churning out 30 megapixel images in quick succession, professionals and enthusiasts are driving media card manufacturers to produce storage that offers shot-to-shot performance to suit.

Network Tube by Son Kijo, Joon Hyoung Seo, Uhm Hyung Woo, Choi JinYoung... Titanic Needed This!

When people huddle together, they not only boost each other’s morale, but they also increase their chances of survival. Network Tube is a 2011 Spark Awards entry.

Would-be Hoboes: Your Dream House Has Arrived Treehugger points us to this very clever design for a jacket with pouches in its lining that can be unfurled to reveal a personal tent. As the designer, Justin Gargasz, explains: Individuals feel the need to escape interactions in their environment everyday. Whether it be interactions with excessive technology or other people, this psychological and physical need to get away is where I began my investigation. A physical as well as psychological escape is achieved when the user has the option to efficiently get away from inside of building and come back when ever they choose. I focused on expandable clothing for concept exploration. Note that Gargasz isn't suggesting that campers are the jacket's ideal audience—no, he's smart enough to realize that this jacket can't ever replace a good tent tucked into a backpack.

Magic-Pro PCI-Express SATA-III Raid Caddy If you’re a PC gamer facing slow frame rates, upgrading your graphics card generally gives you the best improvement.

The Magic-Pro PCI-Express SATA-III Raid Caddy can really breathe new life into an older computer by giving you blazing fast disk access. Your old PC may only support SATA II, even though SATA III has been out for a while and at 6Gbps it is twice as fast. This Magic Pro drive caddy connects to a PCI Express slot and provides SATA III support for the two 2.5″ drives it holds. Use built-in hardware raid (Marvel 88SE9128 controller) to in Raid 0 (for quicker reads and writes) or Raid 1 (for quicker reads and redundancy to protect all your data if one drive fails.) Order the Magic-Pro PCI-Express SATA 6Gbps Raid Caddy for $45 from USB Brando.

Fred & Friends » Contact Introduction We are currently working with many designers from around the world, and we generally find the process, fun, constructive, and hopefully profitable for all involved. Here are a few reasons you may enjoy partnering with us… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. How the Process Works We invite you to present your product ideas by email. It is easiest/fastest/most efficient to work on a good faith basis. If you'd like to proceed on this basis, please go ahead and tell us more! However if you're feeling cautious you might want to try a slower approach - restrict your initial disclosure to the bare minimum - just tell us what category the product falls into and how it might be used. Then we will try to give you our most useful feedback. On the other hand, we might love it. When we are satisfied that the product is practical and marketable, we write a formal license agreement that specifies royalty rate, term, guarantee, and advance. Then we get to work on the product development. What Next?
