11. 6.2006Soft Spot table
The Soft Spot Table is a table-cum-bench designed by Stephen Reed as a product of what he describes as "acknowledging the behavior of people perching on the edge of coffee tables." I find the perspective pretty interesting. The table has two halves – one that can be used as a normal coffee table and the other connected half that you can sit on. What's so unique about that ? The idea is that when you sit on the latter half, it bends to provide a cushioning experience. This part of the table is made of wood tiles connected with elastic cords that create the cushioning effect and can be used as a normal table as well. The specifications do not talk about the maximum weight that the elasticity can handle, though. And there isn’t a price tag available yet.. If you think you have a soft corner for this soft spot table, check it out at the Stephen Reed's site. Via OhGizmo. Posted by kanchana

11. 6.2006Blue eye table blurs the analogue and the digital
A few days ago Johhny posted about the touch screen monitor from Wacom. While that product is available today, here's an amazing prototype called "Blue Eye" that is still far from a commercial release, but shows a glimpse of the possibilities for the future. Created by researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, the Blue Eye table is made of glass with a camera mounted overhead and a projector underneath. You can place analogue objects or pictures on the glass and take digital pictures of them, which are instantly projected onto the glass. Then, the user can manipulate, move, stretch and give motion to the images. The video provided on the TechE Blog site gives a great demo of the Blue Eye table. From TechE Blog via NewScientistTech.

11. 6.2006Perfect Pod
Though I only drink coffee occasionally (and even then only the iced variety), I can surely appreciate when the joe I drink is fresh, flavorful, and not too strong or too weak. I also understand anything that makes getting ready in the morning easier and faster. Enter Coffee Giant’s Perfect Pod. The Perfect Pod lets you create self-contained, single-use pods for use in virtually any coffee machine. Sure there are many machines out there that use the single-use pods, but they’re all one-cup systems and vary the pods enough so you can only use the manufacturer’s own pods in the machine. And what if you are attached to a favorite brand of java, like Starbuck’s or Dunkin’ Donuts? Make it easy by making it in advance. Make it disposable. Make it in the perfect strength. Make as many cups as you want with one pod. Make it your favorite blend. Make it Perfect Pod. [Note to self: Hmmmm… maybe I should sell that to their ad people!] Posted by Brian

11. 6.2006EESA clothing: stylish base layers on and off the slopes
Technical baselayers for cold weather rock. There's nothing like being out on the slopes, exerting yourself, and actually not freezing your butt off because your long undies wick away moisture and keep you dry (and warm) with ease. Makes you wonder why more people don't dress appropriately for the cold, right? Well EESA, a new entrant into the activewear market was wondering the same thing. Their conclusion? Fashion conscious snowboarders often ignore their better judgment, prefering to wear cotton or other less optimal fabrics and clothing because they dislike the style (or lack thereof) of most base layer activewear. The solution? EESA clothing of course. EESA's line of fashion conscious clothing for men and women takes its cue from the street and merges that sensibility with current textile technology. All garments are moisture wicking, anti-microbial treated to minimize odor, and quick drying. Think toasty Patagonia-like warmth, but with fresh cuts and colors that don't scream "backcountry mountaineering!" The sleeves on EESA garments also contain "trigger finger loops" -- hidden finger loops that help prevent the sleeves from bunching up (and you don't have to put up with a hole in the cuff of the shirt). The garments don't run cheap ($65-$75), but that's the price for style. And at least you won't have to suffer to look good. More styles and purchase information can be found at www.eesa.com.
