This new utterly stylish and exotic design by Andre Kim for a Samsung washing machine, just blows our mind! Although probably a very audacious item to have as part of your home, the design and whole feel is just so different from your normal plain white or “stylish-cool” silver designs. The design also hides the brute machine feel of this item and we’re wondering whether it’s more of a joy to get your laundry done in this washing machine compared to a very standard Defy or LG model.
Also very interesting, is that after Micheal Jackson saw Kim’s designs, he offered Kim the job to be his own personal designer, but Kim apparently declined stating that his designs are not exclusive and is to be shared with everyone, Considering who your employer would’ve been Andre Kim, you definitely did not make a bad choice, in fact I think it’s just purely creepy working for MJ. Although, you could probably steal a kiddies treat (which MJ keeps a bucketload of for the kids) here and there if you are into candy.

We found these nice little photos online, showcasing a bathroom, completely based on legendary arcade game, Pac-Man. The design is very clean and we quite like - not that we would design our bathroom like that. But maybe for like a bathroom in the arcade - that would be very appropriate and clever and innovative (read: wondering whether these photos are from an arcade’s bathroom…).
And in other totally unrelated news - Hilary Clinton yesterday announced that she too was running to be elected the new president of the awesome USA in 2008. Yes, Hilary Clinton is indeed the wife of the two-timing Bill Clinton, ex-president that had oral relations with Monica Whatisherface. This is awesome news to the world. Oh, and apparently she’s in the presidential race to win, according to an e-mail she sent out to her supporters - heck, I’d hope that every presidential candidate is in it to win…

Found this very interesting cartoon artist online. The site is called Nozzman and features a lot of cartoons and illustrations like the one of Adolf / Idol above.
Some of the cartoons are extremely weird and some of them border on being twisted, but they are funny and it is a good laugh at all times. The illustration is also good. So visit the site and have a look around.

This is a interesting, but slightly weird, concept that has come to the Western World, from yes, you guessed it, China. For some reason, the Chinese and Japanese are always at the forefront of being very, oh so, different compared to the rest of the world. But hey, at least they’re trying new things…
So all of this equates to the first dark restaurant in Asia, which opened its doors on 23 December 2006 (just in time for a black Christmas). The restaurant is located in Beijing, China and the interior is painted entirely in black. Except for the entrance hall and restrooms, the rest of the restaurant is pitch black. Patrons are seated at their tables with the help of waiters wearing night-vision goggles and also using luminous watches and cellphone lights.
Apparently the idea is basicly to starve the customers’ sense of vision, to enhance the tasting and smelling senses, which obviously makes for a better meal. The only problem as we can see, is probably the fact that you are indeed eating your meal in the dark and this might be quite an obstacle. But except for that, the only idea is quite unique and we like the fact that it is new and innovative.
Maybe we’ll pop around there on our next trip to Asia (note: we’ve never been there, so this is daydreaming) and experience it first-hand. And except for that wish, we’re just wondering whether they’re really trying to be cool or whether the electricity company doesn’t like them!?
(Edit: According to the comments on the blog where we first found this article, similar restaurants can be found in Melbourne, Montreal, Zurich, Berlin, London and various cities in the States and Russia. Also, Zurich’s Blindekuh, “Blind Cow” in English, and Montreal’s O.Noir was created to create jobs for the visually and hearing impaired and also raise awareness for these impairments. We quite like that idea too…)

These robots are made by Gordon Bennett over at Bennet Robot Works and are made out of junk parts combined with one or two new components. The robots are pure ornaments and don’t have any moving or electrical parts.
So although the price tag is quite hefty (from $850 to $3000), this is a pretty nice (but utterly useless) toy to have sitting around your study. So yes, it’s definitely geeky. And sometimes geeky is cool.
Check out the whole available range here.
