Post it Watch
Alleged French company Pa-Design created this post-it note in watch form.
Post it notes usually just sit on my desk and eventually lose their adhesive properties and end up on the floor crumbled up. How useful is that/how useful is my method?

Ink Calender
Calendar using the capillary action of the ink on the paper.
“Ink Calendar” make use the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time.
The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are “printed” daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.
The ink colors are based on a spectrum, which relate to a “color temperature scale”, each month having a color related to our perception of the weather on that month. The colors range from dark blue in December to, three shades of green in spring or oranges, red in the summer.

Charging Tap
The Charging Tap is quite an adorable hub that takes in cellphones, digital cameras, MP3 and other USB enabled devices, for charging. Quite simple and minimal in styling, all you need to do is to hook up your gadget and turn on the tap! I love it!

Under Rug Cable
The thing with extension cords is that they look ugly and the wires are a prime accident zones for tripping. There is nothing Elegant about them! Unless you’re looking at the “Post Line”, this one’s a gorgeous concept that makes full use of the circuit-printing technology and electrostatic paste material. Use it from point A (gadget) to point B (wall socket) by sticking it flat to the floor, and if it becomes less sticky and grimy, simply wipe it clean and its sticky flat extension tape again!

Citrus Fresh Squeeze
You got to simply love the handy Citrus Spray designed by Alberto Arza and Joan Rojeski for Spanish houseware brand Lékué! It is so simple and a surefire way to get freshly squeezed lime juice (or any other citrus fruit) sprayed over your food! Can it get simpler than this – just stick in the spraying mechanism through the cut-off wedge and get spraying!
The biggest advantage is preventing the loss of vitamins and oxidation of the juice.
Al Dente Collection
Al Dente is a new concept for 2010. Inspired by uncooked strands of spaghetti, this is quite a departure from the critically-acclaimed Continuum Dining Table where there is fluidity and curves. Al Dente explores the relationship with space and environment but from a fractal perspective. Note the way the density shifts from one end to the other.

Ninja Watch
This little beast has two “eyes” which show the hour and the minute, while the rest of the watch is dedicated to framing them in a way that looks assuredly ninja in style! The entire casing is made from molded plastic, the dials controlled by the ninja’s “ears” so you can set the time whenever you like.

Toaster Flash Drive
Unfortunately, this delicious combo costs a lot of bread. ThinkGeek is selling the goodies separately, $28 (USD) for the hub and $25 for each of the 4GB drives, so for a fully-loaded four-slice toaster, you’re looking at $128.

The Enlightenment Lamp
Despite all the books on enlightenment, only this one can actually provide light. The Enlightenment Book Lamp ($130) is a book-shaped lamp made from white plexiglass, lit with a 9-watt energy-saving lamp, and with the words "The Enlightenment" on the binding and front cover. Plus, ten percent of the proceeds goes to fund education projects run by the Edukans Foundation. Now that's enlightenment.
