funny, wierd, post and picture around the world

It might not look like it, but inside this box, there’s an armoire, a desk, a height-adjustable stool, two more stools, a six-shelf bookcase, and a bed with a mattress.


Casulo, the brilliant, modular setup designed by Marcel Krings & Sebastian Mühlhäuser, hides furnishings enough for an entire room — or, heck, an entire apartment — in a small 31″x47″ (that’s 80 cm x 120 cm) box. Two people can lift, carry, and assemble (and then disassemble, when it’s time to move) each piece of furniture within the Casulo in about 10 minutes — it requires no tools for assembly — and every part of the boxy exterior is used, negating any need for extraneous, wasteful packaging. Smart.

Casulo won the “Abraham & David Roentgen Award” in November 2007 for its “cleverness, finesse and qualitative realisation of the idea” and we think it’s quite well-deserved; what a perfect solution for frequent movers and small space dwellers alike. More pics, plus a video, of the unboxing process

How many bucks would you spend to watch a Jet and a bike make love? Not very many I guess, but you must be curious to see the result of this rather unfortunate procreation. Meet MonoTracer! The futuristic looking vehicle is actually a real-life working model and is being built and sold by Peraves.

Basically, MonoTracer is an advanced version of the normal bikes. A cabin mounted on a bike and the drag gets minimized to a great extent, making MonoTracer highly effective at achieving high speeds and greater levels of safety. The vehicle flies at a top speed of 250 kmph and can go from zero to hundred in 5.7 seconds. So time for the distressing factor now: the price. You must doll out $82,350 for a MonoTracer. But hey, the coolness associated with this one makes the buying decision a no-brainer.

Here is something new that we haven’t seen before, a concept phone which is completely transparent and see through.

This concept phone by BloodRabbit which he thought of while driving home from work.
This mobile phone comes in a see-through body and a basic LCD display, sharing the same dimensions as a credit card.


Although you’re probably scratching your head and wondering how the electronics and other stuff like a battery and camera fits in.
we have to go by the assumption that technology in the future will be able to compress electronics to such a size.
