IdeaPaint: Turn Your Entire Office Into a Whiteboard

Why didn't you think of this? John Goscha, at the ripe old age of 25 ditched a job offer at Goldman Sachs, and instead began marketing IdeaPaint, which is simply a paint that turns any paintable surface into a dry-erase board. The benefit--besides being able to brainstorm on almost every inch of your office--is that the paint is half the cost of whiteboard and better-performing--you can leave marks up indefinitely, and they won't stain the wall. Of course, it takes a bit of time--you may have to sand the wall and prime it--but one other benefit is that you're not incurring all the carbon involved in manufacturing and shipping a whiteboard.

Bend Hand world clock by Giha Woo All The World’s On Time Finally there is an elegant clock that tells time around the entire world at once. Finally I can look and say – oh, I know what time it is for Takashi, oh, I know that Radhika is probably eating pizza right now, oh, my other co-workers are more than likely on their way to the movies. Oh, this amazing clock tells me everything around the world. This is the “Bend Hand,” designed by Giha Woo, intended to tell the time around the world with a simple analog clock arm – one that’s bent. Each city on the clock is represented by the dot on the hand. Woo wants us to think thusly: “Although the world exists in different time zones, we’re always moving together without pause.” Designer: Giha Woo

The video says it all, without requiring more than 20 seconds (let alone anything by way of words) – how to just flip, fold and wrap your way to a temporary laptop-to-go bag that even your precious computer should feel nice and secure inside. But why stop there? Other strapped backpacks and shoulder bags are possible too, as well as pillows and (if you are feeling really daring) even a baby carrier … be really careful, though, if you intend to build and use that particular variant. ConceptualDevices likes to keep things nice and easy, playing with elemental videos and simple sketches to show very clear new ways to organize existing objects and data into nifty new formations.?
