Apparently it's for kids, and a conversation starter. A bit embarrassing if you "whip" it out at the next PTA or playground meeting eh? Sold at the MoMA Store.
Cultural Synergy
The world will soon become a melting pot of different cultures coming together with ideas or traditions bouncing and evolving off each other. Good or bad, it is interesting to see that some of our habits are more similar than we know. For example the amount of tea or coffee we drink in a cup in one go. Check out how this hand made Japanese tea cup for Ocha (green tea) is a perfect fit for a preset machine brewed shot of cappuccino.
High Tech vs Low Tech
Interestingly the tripod design does not seem to be keeping up with the pace of miniturization the video camera "suffers" from.

Erotic Cartoons by The Disney Pixar Animation Team!
Once in a while designers really need to get out and do something different. It looks pretty clear that Pixar Animators have a lot of pent up needs and really need to get out more! I wonder how it impacts the Disney brand?
In 80 whimsical pages, the collection of vintage-inspired artwork is a voyage into the human mind, with all of its carnal obsessions and romantic mythologies.
The book traces the full spectrum of sex and science — sex and aliens, sex and robots, sex and math, sex and the tools of innovation, sex and the Atomic Age — with pure, playful whimsy that disarms any preconceptions of vulgarity.
As I began working on this book, I found myself heavily inspired by the cover artwork of old science books. A favorite series of mine is the “How and Why Wonder Books.” As I looked over the entire series, I thought to myself, “There is no Sex and Science issue.” This gave me the perfect excuse to create my own volume for the series. The end result is the long lost “Sex and Science” edition that was never published. ~ Nate Wragg for Nerve
The Ancient Book of Sex & Science is the second in a series grouped around themes the animators couldn’t explore in their regular work. The first, titled The Ancient Book of Myth and War, sold out in a matter of weeks and is now available — and priced — as a collector’s item.
