How freakin cool is this! It’s about time the experience in buying a car gets a facelift. Ya buy a car, a huge tower like vendor arm reaches up for your car, grabs its, and delivers it to you behind two glass doors. How sweet!
Some more smart and tactful ads for products you can try on straight from the magazine! Be fun if they actually popped out. Hip and wearable print ads… oooo.
Pictures after the jump!

Here’s another clever combo of products. A waterbottle, solor panel, and LED light source. If your a camper of any sort, you’ll find this Sollight useful. Walk around during the day, let the solar panel charge, and light up the LED for 8-10 hours once you hit up camp. I’m not sure how bright it is, but I’ve seen some blazing bright leds lamps recently.
Here’s a rather ingenious little invention! An adjustable cap on hot sauce! I’d somewhat wonder how great this works compared to 2-3 separate bottles, but it’s good food for thought in the ever clustered world of options. Reminds me of Barry Schwartz and his book “Paradox of Choice”, where he explains, more choice or excessive choice can be bad!
I’m off to the wonderful GEL conference (good experience live) in nyc… I’ll be back in a few days!!!
update: highlights from GEL
- Google exit party, meeting people!
- Seth Godin, love the tie man.
- a chocolate high tour (sweet riots)
- exchanging BIG ideas with people
- seeing everyone from last year again!
I’ve been running into a bunch of cool ads this week! Heres another one that adds a hunk of retro hair to any waiting passerbys. Be cool to see this on side bus windows! Hop onto the hair bus!
Here’s an interesting, perhaps fun ad on a cup! You position the cup, drink from it, and whala, you have a new nose and lip. The ads for plastic surgery and I’m sure it’ll capture a few customers, though, I think kids will have more fun swapping cups..perhaps a collectible .

update: seems these cups (ripoff) are available for purchase now.
Who says you can’t have a bit of fun and work in an office environment… Get a beanbag on a chair!
You know those manholes that steam up on cold mornings in nyc… We’ll now everytime you see them, you’ll think think about hot steaming Folgers coffee. I’m not sure if these ads are real, but seems like a great idea!!
I came across this inspiring article about being an entrepreneur and making your passion reality. Reminds me of the billion dollar networks. Give it a read, and think about it. I truely believe that more and more people will run their own business in todays fast paced digital society.
The widely popular Isle Lounge Chair (sofa) is finaly available for sale, even though the price is still rather high, but to have one of these suckers in my house would rock!!(given I had a space for it) Roll around in it, sit and lounge with 10 others in it, take a picture and look like a munchkin in it, or even roll a basketball around you for endless hours of fun. I’m sure if I ever got one of these beauties I’ll feel like a kid again.
I’ve posted some great images of this monster after the jump…
Lot-ek has always been a favorite in the realms of sustainable architecture along with an assortment of incredible projects dealing with art, architecture, information, urban reality, and technology woven into our everyday lives. Recently they introduced an astonishing concept for a library using over 200 Boeing 727 and 737 fuselages. The fuselage is the ONLY part of a decommissioned airplane that cannot be effectively recycled. Check out their site for some very inspirational ideas, especially their use of cargo vessels.
