‘Fuji On The Rock’ glass, a simple accessory the surmised the Japanese fascination with the eternally paradisiacal Mount Fuji.

 

 

It is not often that beer and classiness are pronounced in the same sentence; but the Fujiyama Beer Glass succeeds in the antithetical endeavor with its passive design consideration. How so? Well, the form of the design (made from special ‘Sugawara craft glass’) is intentionally devised to replicate the conical shape of the volcanic peak. So, when it is filled with a dash of frothing beer, the foam at the top of the glass deftly mimics the snow-capped nature of the exalted mountain.

Clip-on Filter

Taking pictures nowadays are all the rage since the emergence of instagram as a social media, that has been proven more evident in today's society.
 
People have always tried to distance themselves from the ways of another, and even more so in taking pictures, they use different filters, take different viewpoints and sometimes even offer different forms of presentation. It's sort of been an (unspoken) contest to see who has the best selfie, and sometimes people with the craziest of ideas that ends up with the most unexpected of outcomes are the ones in which videos or pictures truly capture our interest or attention.
 
One such example is Mr Jared Micheal , he attempted to take a selfie of himself when a train was going past behind him, probably less than a meter away from the track itself. What resulted in that endeavour was that he was kicked in the head by the conductor of the train who probably may have saved his life, unknown to Mr Micheal, but nonetheless, taking a selfie and getting kicked in the head by the ocnductor makes for a kick-ass title doesn't it?
And it was proven!

Because on his youtube page, he uploaded that selfie video ( I suppose he took a video by accident or something ) and his page achieved more than 18 million views! And if you didn't know youtube views can actually be converted to real-life money and 18million would amount to somewhere around 250k.
 
Wow that's a lot of money!
 
So this product comes into play because it actually gives you the means to take great pictures, be it selfies or just normal pictures, it'll provide a suitable filter that you can just easily clip-on to your mobile phone camera, and since it's clip on, it's easy to attach and remove and consequently change the filter settings! Of course, i'm not saying that using this will magically earn you 18 million views of any video you take with it, because ultimately,
 
The Cameraman makes the photo, not the camera.

Outdoor Bed

Ahh the Hammock,

 

Since decades past it's always been the mental representation of relaxation

 

 

 

As comfortable as having a bed at home sounds, there is a certain romance in sleeping outdoors in a hammock, is it the comfort? Is it the feeling of being among nature? I'm not too sure, but it's undeniable in its existence.

Personally i've slept on a Hammock before on a rare occasion, and i can honestly say, while it's quality is not as commercialized as much as beds, the comfort is the best I've ever experienced, 

        

           

"It feels like you're lying down on air",

 

Is probably what i would use to describe the feeling of sleeping in a hammock as.

 

Which comes the introduction of this product, well it's the hammock if you haven't already guessed

 

It has a more flamboyant color(s) than other standard hammocks

 

 

 

And also functions as a normal picnic mat as well! The threads are tightly woven together so that they hold up to a combined 120kg in weight to allow for couples to use as well.

 

Of course these are all just side improvements that support it's basic function,

 

Which is to let you sleep comfortably when you're outdoors as well!

A Fashionable Cable

Ever since the evolution of smartphones, especially the iPhone series, one great noticeable trait is that for some strange reason, the battery capacity is less than it's predecessor, essentially true of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, where the 5's one is clearly lacking when compared to the 4, and with these limitations on smartphone time usage induced, people have found ways to get around it and the two most common ones are:

Bring a charging cable to work or bring your own powerbank.                                                                                                                                                                                                               
So today i'll be talking about the first option, and this product's very own evolution around it
The standard iPhone 5 wire is a standard-designed cable which means that it's as prone as any other cable or earpiece to get tangled up magically in your bag or in your pockets, which makes it infuriating to take time,effort and patience to uncoil them knot by knot and considering how some of us go out or work on a daily basis, saying that it's a daily occurrence is not an overstatement in the least, or even when you use it at home, after syncing or charging your device you casually put it in your drawer only to find out its tangled.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
What devilry is this?!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
And of course this specific problem has it's specific solution, namely the "flat spaghetti" design for wires, where they do not tangle easily, or perhaps even at all when you keep and when they do it's easy as pie to untangle them.
They look a little something like this,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
So then you wonder, what is the exact evolution of this product, or what is the point of this blog post at all if i'm already pointing out a already invented product                                             
It's actually simple yet kind of strange,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Well, the USB-tip is magnetic.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
While that may sound great at first,but you start to look more deeper and you go, "So?" and that's where the point of this blog posts starts impaling those doubts,
the magnetic tip makes it for easy keeping, and i mean really, really easily, if you're too lazy to coil them up nicely you can put the two ends of the tip together to form an untangle-able circle for storage or travelling.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
But the ingenious thing is what you do with the tip, which actually can be converted into a fashionable bracelet,                                                                                                                        
THAT'S RIGHT!
FASHIONABLE BRACELETS!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
While this may not be your standard leather bracelets that are oh-so-popular right now, the flamboyant colors do offer a different and kind of hip view to the whole bracelet thing, and bracelets have always been a timeless part of fashion, and even more so now that the idea is unisex !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Before you'd only see women wearing bracelets and men wearing watches, but now with feminism (silently perhaps) becoming more popular, men have started wearing bracelets as well, and it's been widely accepted and appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
It doesn't matter if you're a Geek, or a Fashion Critic, or a  because this cable satisfies the concerns of two worlds. It innovates a different way of cable-carrying while also IMPROVING it's intended initial purpose, which is to charge, it's coined a cable, no matter how fashionable or great it is, a cable must do what a cable is made to do right?                                                                                                                                                                                                  
And if you're guessing what i meant by "Improving it's initial purpose", and if you've guess that it charges faster, you're 100% right, because it does!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
So all in all, if you're looking for a cable that charges faster, or an interesting product that innovates in some way ( The way of Carrying Cables) , then this product is just the perfect fit for you!

Weighing Stale

Do you still deal with the issues of a standard Weighing Machine?

 

 

Like having multiple doubts because of the weight indicated, or if the 0kg indicator is actually properly aligned with the red needle to tell your weight accurately or not?

 

Then it's probably time to upgrade to a digital one!

 

 

It's more accurate than your standard weighing scale and it's also transparent to boot!

 

It fits well in any kind of household, and bathrooms especially, a trait that the normal weighing scale seems lacking in.

 

Comparing them by looks, the Transparent Digital Scale wins out by a far margin wouldn't you agree?

Couch Table

The Couch.
 
It's a very comfortable place to relax and watch TV, and perhaps do everything else, but we cant really do that, because there aren't actually tables suitable for sofas, like you walk in a furniture shop, you're not likely going to find a table that's going to cater to the sofa's portions, be it the sides, the legs or maybe even the height, and suppose you do find this mythical table, you'd have to get either 2 or 4 sofas to complete the set and that's going to be costly and space-consuming, 
 
and its probably going to be pretty ugly if you're going to put two sofas (minimally) facing a table.So the problem isn't with the sofa, i mean, honestly, what could be wrong with the sofa? It's the most ingenious furniture created since the dawn of mankind. So the problem here is with the table, and since the sofa's perfect, i mean being all great and all , the only thing that needs to change would be the table!
 
Well the thing is, there's just the thing created for that kind of scenario which looks like this..
 
 
And then you will look into the attractiveness of the pink font background and then think,
 
"How is this any different from having like a laptop table?"
 
The answer is simple and easy, it's the height and posture differences!
While i am not denying that a laptop table works in this scenario, don't get me wrong, while i coined the name of this product to be a "couch table" it's not that simple in it's applications, it can be used for many other things ( places ) such as beds or chairs or even even on the floor because it's height actually adjustable and what i mean in posture is that normally you would sit with your legs straight when using a laptop table on your bed, but this one actually makes you sit straight. This is more-suited for working and well, stuff in general.
 
When you're working and you're lying down you won't "work" very long, and eventually the silent lullabies of the bed will lull you to sleep gently, quietly and surely so you pretty much won't get work done, and in terms of other things like eating, it's better for digestion if you're sitting up as opposed to semi-lying down with your legs flat straight. So all in all this actually is better in terms of "Productivity" than a standard laptop table, it can be as compact as one in terms of storing, but not in terms of travel, but nonetheless it's still more effective than a one.
 
 
                        Fully Detachable and Easy-Keeping!

The Wire Hider

 
 
Have you ever looked at the clutter that resulted from messy wiring and just felt like screaming out of  sheer frustration? Or when your plug extension ran out of open sockets and you're trying to unplug one to put another one you need in, but find yourself unable to do so because the wires are all tangled up beyond recognition and just leave it there and slowly it stacks up and becomes a tumbleweed that goes along absorbing wires along the way and eventually you just give up trying to organize them and when there comes a time you need to use one of them really badly you're not only trying to find a needle in a haystack, but also trying to run a thread through it at the same time
 
Yeah it's not impossible, but it's long and tiring and takes patience, which sometimes we just don't have in those times of dire need!
 
So with that problem comes a solution in the form of a box!
Now all your wires will enter at the opening point of the box and all converge at the ending point of the box which makes for organized wires! You can choose to keep them cluttered too of course and no one will know! Of course it's even better if you want to organize them which is also possible with this box where you can keep them neatly tied up according to their lengths and uses and either remove when not need, or tie them up neatly and leave them there for further use or place it aside neatly while you use it's socket for another wire until you need it again!
Not to mention, a household without cluttered wires also makes for a safer environment for your children, or even you yourself because having too many wires all over the place invites unwanted accidents like tripping over them or in more severe cases : electrocution from exposed wires.
 
All in all, may it be keeping your wires organized, or making your home a safer environment, the Wire Hider is a welcome addition to any household!
