Mundane vs. Magnificence

It's no far leap to accept that almost everything we touch and use these days, in and around the house or workplace, had to be designed by someone at some point. That said, it's a rare and special moment when one of these conventional items crosses the line from being solely "functional" to "exquisite."

We know this line well. It's a line that separates the "run-of-the-mill" from the more inspired, "work-of-art." And we're working to blur this line with each new shoe style we create with our chefs. We actually get a kick out of seeing how far we can push the limit--blending the functional with the fashionable. So it makes it very easy to identify when someone else is working to blur this same line as well.

Wristband to Track Health, Fight Obesity



We're very interested to see how this new project by Jawbone evolves and becomes available for the masses. It could have a lot of potential for being a helpful tool in people's lives. We all know that obesity in the United States is a growing problem and we definitely support gadgets that can help nudge us in the right direction when our will-power seems to let us down.

Would you wear one of these wristbands during your shift? Wouldn't it be great to track your activity/motion during your shift? Then again, if it can sense our rest/sleeping habits... it's going to be nudging us to slow it down and get sleep on a regular basis.

3-D Chocolate Printing




We have to admit that we consume chocolate more than twice a year. Although, Halloween and Valentine's Day are pretty serious sweet tooth days, we like the to indulge in the occasional chocolate treat. We were impressed when this 3-D chocolate printing story hit the internet.

It's apparent that they're still in the prototyping stage, but what do you think of this potential?
