Dyson Fan

From the Dyson site:

The Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan works very differently to conventional fans. It uses Air Multiplier™ technology to draw in air and amplify it 15 times, producing an uninterrupted stream of smooth air. With no blades or grill, it’s safe, easy to clean and doesn’t cause unpleasant buffeting.

Air is accelerated through an annular aperture. This creates a jet of air that passes over a 16° airfoil-shaped ramp, channeling its direction.

No blades means the Dyson Air Multiplier™ fan is safe and easy to clean. It also has touch-tilt, 90° oscillation and dimmer-switch power control.

Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

These are the smallest and most interesting headphones so far. With the new 3.0 iPhone software, bluetooth stereo headphones should be compatible so you can listen to music and answer calls when they come in. Just concerned about the earbuds falling out.

Serpentine Gallery Pavillion 2009

The Serpentine Gallery's summer pavilion, on the lawn of London's Kensington Gardens, is an annual opportunity for one of the world's "it" architecture firms to strut their stuff. Here's what the Serpentine Gallery site describe this year's design:

Sejima and Nishizawa have created a stunning Pavilion that resembles a reflective cloud or a floating pool of water, sitting atop a series of delicate columns. The metal roof structure varies in height, wrapping itself around the trees in the park, reaching up towards the sky and sweeping down almost to the ground in various places. Open and ephemeral in structure, its reflective materials make it sit seamlessly within the natural environment, reflecting both the park and sky around it.

Method Products

Method produces great, all natural, bio-degradable products. And the package design is just as great as what's inside. Nice fragrances that are subtle, clean smelling, and not flowery. Their line of foam hand washes come in a very cool pump that appears liquid, but comes out of the pump as foam. All the packaging is recycleable. They sell fantastic refill pouches for the hand soaps that are brilliant. You can purchase the full line directly from their own website.
