11. 2.2007MUJI face mask make-up protector, and Soho opening
New York is finally getting its own stand-alone MUJI store. To mark the upcoming launch, here's something I found in the dressing room of a MUJI store on my last trip to Taiwan. The dressing rooms have these cloth bags that you put over head. The text on the sign explains that the bag helps keep your make-up intact as well as off their clothes. While the sections in the two MOMA design stores have been open for years, I'm looking forward to getting access to the clothes, most of which don't make it to the U.S. I'll be curious to see what the pricing will be, because there's quite a markup in the current store-within-a-store we have in New York. I'm also hoping that they stock larger sizes, because in their Asian stores, I'm always asking if they have any larger sizes in back, which makes the people working the floor giggle. If the pricing and sizing stay the same, I may have to continue cramming my suitcases full of notebooks and XXXL shirts when I'm on the road. The Soho store opens on November 16th, and a second store in the New York Times building is set to open in early 2008. Posted by Ray

11. 2.2007Mouse-Pen
Recently, Hoyun asked us to re-examine the QWERY keyboard. That made me think -- why a mouse? Wow technology had the same question, so they devised the pen-looking ergonomic wireless mouse called the "WOWPEN Traveler." According to the company (and anyone with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), traditional mice, with extended use, bring unnecessary stress on the user’s wrist and forearm. However, this pen-looking mouse offers "not only outstanding ergonomic vertical body design with full mouse functionality," but also provides a built-in laser pointer and flash memory function. It also incorporates an embedded silver nano coating with anti-bacteria properties. Posted by Evan

11. 2.2007Blackboard globe
Talk about the ultimate geography test! Can you imagine being handed a piece of chalk and one of these blank Blackboard Globes in school? After drawing arbitrary shapes and at least labeling the North and South Poles, I know I would've ended up handing in either a jack-o-lantern face or soccer ball. Only £6.95 at MUJI Online.
