The digital message tape is available in both large (2" x 54 yds) and small rolls (.7" x 36 yds).

I’m just getting ready to head off to my folk’s place to celebrate Christmas and I couldn’t find a more suiting product to write about than another Art. Lebedev Studio creation; SHAR-404. A set of six hand-painted glass camouflage balls for the X-mas tree. That’s subtle tree decoration if any.
Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!

This is the Timesphere Clock by Gideon Dagan and its main feature is of course the tiny red ball marking the seconds. Simple and minimalistic but with a twist.

You haven’t forgotten to get a calendar for 2008 yet, have you? Here’s Masami Takahashi’s excellent Calendar Cube to help you keep track of the upcoming 365 days.
The first six months are printed on the white side and when July 1st comes up you unfold the cube, turn it inside out and fold it again to have July to December shown in reversed colors. Magic, I tell you.
It’s made in clear plastic (paper probably wouldn’t endure the full year) and besides the regular print there’s transparent Braille writing on it too.
The Calendar Cube’s costs 2,940 Yen, that’s about $26.00

Here’s the Self-Setting Atomic Projection Clock. A black, cubic alarm clock featuring both easy-to-read digits on a green, LED-backlit display as well as soft, red numbers projected on the wall, ceiling or any nearby flat surface.
