Dine. Travel. Design.

I bought my first 2 Wallpaper City Guides (San Francisco and Hong Kong) this past weekend at the ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) in NYC! Beautifully designed.

Interestingly, ID Magazine (current June 2008) has an article about IDEO’s Eye Open NYC and London guides. Here sold on Amazon.

Of course there’s the online city guides by DesignSponge.

Design travel guides popping up everywhere. Makes me want to write more in my own travel journals

I found this article from Wired.com quite a coincidence as I’ll be taking a motorcycle class/lesson at the end of the month. Motorcycles as it is are better on fuel consumption than your typical car, but to make them electric is an even larger improvement, though I’m sure it would be more difficult to get that ‘thrill’ of riding fast on a bike when it’s electric. Anyways, some interesting concepts here.

Vroom vroom…

Designed by an 18-year-old! Works on the same idea as the Segway.

An interesting way to turn product packaging into a souvenir:

This is really quite smart.

I’m not one to follow on politics much, which is what intigued me about this site called Glassbooth.org. Through a series of questions, it rates which presidential candidates have values most like yours and address the issues most important to you.

Seems like a great way to get unbiased info on the candidate and really understand what these people stand for.

The site is rather well designed too!
