Cooliris ~ 3D Window Shopping on Your Computer

19 08 2008

A really fun way to browse visuals.

Cooliris‘ simple to download little application will change the way you surf media. It’s super fast and really effective. I’m a big fan of the Flickr previews since we have so many photos to go through on a daily basis.

You gotta try this ~ works on Firefox, Safari, and IE.

Ecoist ~ Billboard and Wrapper Bags

14 08 2008

Check this out. You can shop by movie title or candy wrapper for your next purse.

Go to Ecoist and click the “Shop Wrapper” and “Shop Movie Title” options in the upper right hand corner of the screen. That’s way too much fun. I think the bar code style is the one for me.

Ecoist offers accessories made from mostly repurposed and sustainable materials and are produced in fair trade, sweatshop-free environments.

They hope to inspire more people to become “Ecoists” and think differently about the things they buy, how they are made, where they come from, and vote for a more sustainable world





EcoHaul

11 08 2008

Caught this tip on Ideal Bite.

This North Bay waste removal company will take your old scrap metal, carpet, plumbing – then clean up after themselves, and work with partner reuse centers such as Urban Ore to divert more than 85% of your junk from landfills.

All this cuts way down on the energy and resources it takes to manufacture new stuff. And since EH donates money and goods to community groups, it’s a tax write-off for you.

EcoHaul (800-326-4285). Pick up, $125 and up; call or email for a free estimate.





Wall Murals All Grown Up

9 08 2008

Remember back in the 70’s when everyone had a “cool” mural on their wall? I think I had clouds on one wall and silver wall paper on the others. Yeah…

Well, forget about all that crap. MAXALOT has combined the wall mural concept with modern art to create some of the most amazing wallpaper.

The site shows you the art, an example of the art on a wall, and a quick review of the artist or studio that developed the piece. Beware lest you get lost in the site. It’s addictive.

The Holland based company hopes to introduce leading names in graphic design, photography and illustration to a broad audience. There’s so much cutting edge fantastic digital art going on in the world. Maxalot is a great place to explore some of the best all in one website.

Here’s just a couple of examples. There are many, many more.

Here’s a link to the first collection.

New bike graphic process offered by Geek House Bikes called sublimated powder coat.

Dog Poo Bags

7 08 2008

Proof that good design can make just about anything look appealing.

We’re not recommending these bags [because they incur more waste than they save, and a simple brown bag is also biodegradable], just appreciating the smart concept and fun creative.
