Immovable Watch: Stas Aki stops the hands of the clock without stopping time

stas-aki-watch-immovable1

Designer Stas Aki has come up with a design that’s so simple, yet so abstract. Stas Aki stops the hands of the clock without stopping time. On a tradition watch, the hands read approximately 10:07, but on Stas Aki’s immovable watch, the real time is told my digital numbers above the small hand and big hand. Time is put on a 24-hour scale instead of a 12-hour scale and the design of the watch is sleek and simple as well.

The 3.5 inch poster: Why a floppy disk does not suffice nowadays

35-inch-poster1

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a computer with a floppy disk drive. Higher density drives are built to read, write and even format lower density media without problems, provided the correct media are used for the density selected. This Posters, created by antrepo4, shows how many floppies are enough for current softwares.

Result (Approximate)
46 disk for iTunes 8.02
358 disk for Adobe Photoshop CS4
1760 disk for the Sims 3
12 disk for Firefox 3, 36 disk for Firefox Add-ons

It will be available soon at the Antreposhop.

With 2009 here, it’s time to change things up and refine even our most classic possessions. Take the chess set for example. Even if you don’t play it, it seems like something a man should have. I for one definitely have one, but it’s got that wooden classic look to it.

I don’t know how to take this cup. A mark of lipstick on my cup or someone else’s cup can go as a great prank, but it can also back fire when your real lady friend walks in and notices it.

your guests may do a double take with the lipstick mark that’s imprinted on ‘someone’s cup’. sold individually.

Whether you think this prank is worth 60 bucks is entirely up to you, but check out that and Esque Design’s other products at Unica Home.
