Haha, this is great. I love the ingenuity in this Oil and Vinegar set. It even comes with a little funnel so you can fill it up easily. From Dutch design firm Jansen + Co.

This is a great looking new watch from Fossil. It's numbers are Organic LED's (OLED) so no backlighting is required. Sweet.

Find it here.

This rocking chair design was too cool not to post!

Saw this at Modern Self.

Haha. I really need this. Hopefully I would actually roll up the hose instead of leaving it in my yard. Awesome. From an artist named Peter D'Alessandro.

Awesome, the entire 1st level of Super Mario, Line Rider style!

If you have ever seen Line Rider on the net, you'll know how cool this is. I posted about it a while back, but they have a new website and some enhanced drawing tools. Check out this amazing video and try some Line Rider for yourself. Send me your creations!

Just saw this Google Street view car this morning in Kansas City. It was across the intersection from me so I couldn't get a good picture, but it was definitely one of the Google Mobiles. It was a grey/blue Chevy Cobalt with a metal "antenna" on the roof and Cali plates. I've circled it in the picture but it's still hard to see. I whipped my car around to try to chase but couldn't find it again. I'll be keeping my eye out for it again and will try to get a better picture.

Check out the post about it on Gizmodo.

This dashboard holder by Renault, called the "Grass Mat", actually looks useful. I would love one of these in my car. Hopefully it's removable and washable, otherwise it could get gross down in the bottom.

Some enterprising person has used Google Maps Satellite pictures to find buildings all over the world that are shaped like letters and punctuation. At his website, you can type any word or phrase and it will generate a custom image and link where you can send a message to your friends. How did he find all those buildings you say? Here is what he says: "Many of the letters I found myself by spending endless hours in my basement hunched over my computer looking at Google Maps." Awesome!
