Ask Charles
Wood of Worrell Design and he’ll say hell yes! TDK Trans-it Edge makes other USB sticks look like fashion rejects. Given that storage devices are seen as a impulse purchase, the packaging was as important as the drive itself. With this in mind he designed the packaging simultaneously with the drive.His approach was to look at the product for what it was, a storage device that preserves and protects data. The design was driven by those two words; preservation and protection. To achieve the look of preservation he gave a timeless, high end quality to the design with choice raw materials by using brushed metal. He then wrapped that metal around the softer interior, providing protection. There’s a blue LED to indicate when the Trans-it-Edge is plugged in and if you think esoterically - that evokes a sense of calmness.
'Vampire' Found in Mass Grave
A
skeleton excavated from a 16th century Venetian grave site may be the earliest example discovered of a body being treated at the time of its burial as a vampire.
A small brick deliberately lodged in the mouth of a dead woman is a key link to vampire legend, reports NewsScientist.com. The "vampire tomb" was unearthed by archaeologist Matteo Borrini on Lazzaretto Nuovo Island, in a mass grave of victims of Venice's 1576 plague.
During the Middle Ages, many believed that the plague, or "Black Death," was caused by "vampires" chewing on their shrouds after death. According to Borrini, grave-diggers put bricks in the mouths of suspected vampires to stop them from spreading the disease this way.
Borrini, of the University of Florence in Italy, says that the partial corpse he exhumed offers the earliest "exorcism evidence against vampires" to have been forensically examined.
NewsScientist reports that this claim is disputed by at least one other: Peer Moore-Jansen of Wichita State University in Kansas says he has found similar skeletons in Poland and that while Borrini's finding is exciting, "claiming it as the first vampire is a little ridiculous."

Flashlight Fit For Home Improvement
You have re
ached the top-notch of society and are you still going to hang on to those tools from yesteryear? Noooo…you need to move on mister, break away from the shackles of that old rusty torch that needs to be smacked on its head till the tiny bulb splutters into life. Get something flashy as this Railroad Flashlight that boasts of specs that would make Tim Allen proud of you!Flashy here is a nice colorful torch that features a rubber-coated body, making it shockproof. Need both the hands to do the job plus the light; no probs it’s got a flexi handle that allows you to place it on the ground at a convenient angle. Need to hang the bloke…go ahead and do that as well! Even the reflector assembly can be rotated at any angle to focus the beam bang on target. The translucent plastic glows on the periphery of the reflector and doubles up as an added safety feature. This portable light uses DC power as a source.
We’re supposed to embrace the one remote that rules all. The Media Table by Sergey Saava is an ordinary media center with a sliding box to keep all your remotes in check. Especially like the double pane design element within the main box. Snazzy.
Teeny-Tiny Dishwasher
“Tch, tch that
’s a really small dishwasher!” But sweets this one’s for the double-income-no-children types and singles. That’s how specific designing is getting these days. The sleek looking Gota is small enough to fit on the kitchen platform and has an eco-sense as well. Its one of those niche things that couples will like to show off about.
In its pre-wash cycle the dishwasher steams up the dishes and recycles the cooled down residual H2O for the later-on cycles. That’s a neat way of conserving water for a pint-sized washer! The body of the Gota is crafted from ABS polycarbonate and the internal tank stores sufficient enough water for a round of cleaning.So what do you say...
