The Ultimate Washing Detergent Test: The Postal System.

Ad campaign for Breeze Excel where clothing detergent samples were sent in a box wrapped in a white tshirt, so when arrived it was perfectly dirty to test the sample on! Very clever indeed!

 

Port-a-Bach Shipping Container Holiday Home

Cecile Bonnifait and William Giesen have built a bach (holiday home) out of a 20ft shipping container. This isn’t an easy accomplishment. They pulled it off by having one side of the container fold down to open up to the outdoors. Doing this gives the home a bright and open feeling. Every inch of it is cleverly planned out and utilized.

A bach “is the name given in New Zealand to structures akin to small, often very modest holiday homes or beach houses.They are an iconic part of New Zealand history and culture.” (Wikipedia)

SOME OF ITS F E A T U R E S

  • Fully enclosed exterior steel shell, when folded.
  • Appointed with large internal storage cupboards and shelves / stainless steel kitchen and fittings / bathroom with open shower, sink, composting toilet.
  • Interior fabric screen system gives the versatility of creating rooms within the large open living space; includes bunk beds, double bed room, dressing room, kitchen and bathroom
  • Exterior canvas screen system allows to shelter the deck area for comfortable indoor/outdoor flow and living.

Next time I don’t have a corkscrew I’m going to give this way to open a bottle a try.

Matt Wilson is the photographer that decided to make a guy hit himself in the head with a bottle and take a photo of it. 

    Bacon Floss!

  • I guess a lot of people must really feel that bacon is the most delicious thing ever, because Bacon Floss is now available. Dentists currently recommend flossing daily, but if you don’t enjoy cinnamon or mint, you might dig this bacon flavored floss. Each 2-1/2 inch tall container is filler with over 27 yards of waxed floss. Now you can amaze your buddies with your bacon breath each morning.

    Archie McPhee sells the floss for $4.95.

I was just looking at phones on the AT&T Wireless website and noticed that the iPhone is now sold out. It hasn’t been picked up by any major blogs yet, so I’m guessing this just happened.  The release of the 3G iPhone sure seems pretty inevitable now. (AT&T website)

FLX USB drive prototype

The FLX USB drive prototype, designed by Jacek Ryn, while convenient, is not actually flexible. It’s got an accordion-like sheath covering it that pushes back to reveal the plug when you shove it into the USB port, and snaps back when you pull it out…. From FLX USB drive prototype, designed by Jacek Ryn
