The candle.. Tired of getting wax all over your table, carpet, clothes?.. But still like the long tradition of lighting and blowing out the stick of wax?.. Then maybe the Hono.. is for you.. This rechargeable LED candle lights up when you bring the electronic match stick to the wick.. And shuts off when you blow on it.. Burn time is between 15-8 hours between charges..

Here's a great article on the 1001hp.. 4-turbo.. All wheel drive Bugatti Veyron.. I'm loving the analog 1001 horsepower meter (in increments of 100hp).. The car took a lot longer to produce than expected.. but after engineering all the kinks out.. It's finally here..

For all you lovers of things Japanese.. And things cappuccino.. You might appreciate the Jap-puccino at Kamatsura SHI-KI.. Alessandro Loschiavo's design stems from the recent popularity of the coffee craze in the land of the rising sun.. The set is tradional Japanese laquerware with a modern form factor.. The saucer has a large depression for the cup.. And a smaller depression for the teaspoon.. Strange yet beautiful..

This is a great app for those with a portable usb key etc.. The Portable Apps Suite is a free download that turns your storage device into "your computer, without the computer".. The suite consists of a portable version of: a web browser, an email client, a web editor, an office suite, a word processor, a calendar / scheduler, an instant messaging client and an FTP client.. It can all be found separately.. But thank John Haller for doing all the work for us.. Just plug your device into a Windows pc and work away.. And when you're done.. Unplug.. And take everything away with you..

Do you play a sport that requires you to track a ball accurately?.. Want to possibly improve your game?.. Then Nike MaxSight might be what you're looking for.. The technology filters out part of the visible spectrum that reaches your retina.. Making the ball appear to pop out from the background.. The lenses also filter out harmfull UV rays.. An added bonus..

I've been keeping my eye on the C-SportLounge since it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show.. Here are a few new details about the possible production model..

Via Gizmag.. Following the K1200 R.. BMW comes a swinging with the R1200 S.. This naked bike is just plain sexy.. With a mix of modern and classic lines.. 25% more power and 10% lighter than its predecessor.. I'm loving the BMWs with the black and yellow scheme..

Here's a great little stocking stuffer.. The Designer Emulation Kit .. Miniatures of lamps from the likes of Maurer, and Castiglioni.. Below is the DEK (Tizio) of one of my favorite designers, Richard Sapper.. Nice..

Am back from the mountains.. Good times..
Here's the latest from the Freshly Squeezed department..

If Upstream Engineering's Photon Vacuums progress quickly enough.. It could mean that they could be built right into your cell phones, camcorders, data storage devices and project video and images onto a nearby wall.. Enabling you to share your media on a larger scale.. Cool stuff.. Target date sometime in 2006?.. That would be nice..
