Wood USB driver<br />-Could we really not come up with a better way to violate these animals via USB? Apparently not, and I have no better suggestions to offer as far as the placement of their uh, receptacle. Poor guys get no respect at all. Just living out USB life day after horrible day, like a having perpetual proctology exam as time slides toward infinity.<br /><br />You can thank Japanese company Marubeni InfoTech. This is their line of wooden USB drives. Each features a 1GB storage capacity and you get five animals to choose from: dog, pig, elephant, hippopotamus and a swan, available in maple or walnut. They’ll cost you $73. Is there an organization for the ethical treatment of wood animals? </div><div></div><div></div><div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 285px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519211165312394354" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/TJgtUBTQpHI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/76NFKv93xlg/s400/w1.jpg" /><br /><br />2. USB Driver with notes<br />This 2GB thumb drive is encased in White Oak. It’s basically a Jenga game piece with tiny little Post-It Notes glued on. It may not look like much, but at least it combines two items that take up room on your desk into one device.<br /><br />The only problem is that when the Post-It notes run out, you’re stuck with a wooden flash drive that somehow finds it’s way into the Jenga box to mingle with all the other pieces, only to be lost forever since no one plays that stupid game. The notes, being an odd size can’t be replaced easily. All for $30.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/TJgtU1CJL2I/AAAAAAAAAag/b-qlfjbyuak/s1600/w3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 342px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519211179199246178" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/TJgtU1CJL2I/AAAAAAAAAag/b-qlfjbyuak/s400/w3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />4.

Padouk Wood Business Card Case<br /><br />No matter how good you are, no one’s going to hang on to your business card if it’s crumpled from being in your pocket.

When I was around ten years old, I used to be afraid of being under the night sky when filled with clouds. I used to think that the clouds might fall down. Also, the stark contrast between black sky and the white clouds freaked me out. During such nights, I would hang my head and run straight home. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Tonight, however, the clouds felt more like my friend of the night. I found it difficult to keep my eyes focused on the road because I couldn't help but want to stare at the sky. At that moment, I was listening to "Friend of the Night" by Mogwai. I find this piece of instrumental music to be inspirational, especially for my work. Tonight, while driving under the cloudy night sky, I felt calm and happy. The atmosphere, created by the music and the night sky, led me into a dreamy trance. It was quite an inspiring and relaxing drive home. </span>Parang Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11001855404473986661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051450545632219602.post-48180988701216932022010-09-08T14:39:00.000-07:002010-09-08T15:07:41.528-07:00Honors Project _ intro<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/TIgCjTtzNMI/AAAAAAAAAZg/e3mw2NXG0a0/s1600/scan0023.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 356px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514660549326222530" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/TIgCjTtzNMI/AAAAAAAAAZg/e3mw2NXG0a0/s400/scan0023.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br />I have couple of rough sketches, and just dicided my design theme;<br />"Ideas that you don't want to miss everyday."<br /><br />I focus on making more functional wooden box than I've made from last semester, and I hope my works will be part of our life.

Culminating two years of research, the aim of U.R.E. (the un-cooled recycled extrude process) is to “(A) view waste packaging as a valuable resource as opposed to an ecological difficulty, (B) utilize the embedded energy present in waste plastics, and (C) generate a new recycled design aesthetic.”<br /><br />This live-show technique, pioneered by Design Miami/Basel this summer that showcased designers working in open studios throughout the exhibition space, is a new take on the design process, signaling the rise of a “design as performance” model. Over the nine-day event, running from October 20-28, the Cohda space filled what started off as bare display occupied only by a set of machines that would produce these second-life plastic designs.<br /><br />Along with many individuals and enterprises hoping to spread an awareness of their work and highlight their process, an archive of time-lapse movies from the Recycling Factory can be found on the Cohda website.<br /><br />+ Cohda<br /><br />+ Cohda Recycled Plastic RD4 Chair<br /><br /></span>Parang Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11001855404473986661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051450545632219602.post-54961284363117318252010-04-15T08:58:00.000-07:002010-04-15T09:48:31.799-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S8c3varRCDI/AAAAAAAAAX0/2x1XzbodadI/s1600/100_lge.jpg">Product Overview<br />Clear, fast-setting, non-staining adhesive for paper products<br />Permanent and repositionable bonds<br />Convenient spray application for larger areas<br />Bonds<br />All paper products<br />Sizes<br />150ml can<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460394360964188210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 176px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S8c3varRCDI/AAAAAAAAAX0/2x1XzbodadI/s320/100_lge.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><br />Product Overview<br />Clear, fast-setting, non-staining adhesive for paper products<br />Permanent and repositionable bonds<br />Convenient spray application for larger areas<br />Bonds<br />All paper products<br /><br />Sizes<br />150ml canParang Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11001855404473986661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051450545632219602.post-36795168570163934542010-04-08T08:46:00.000-07:002010-04-08T09:41:42.158-07:00making newspaper pot<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S737VArSyPI/AAAAAAAAAXs/WC-3ZnweO7A/s1600/11.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457794661820319986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S737VArSyPI/AAAAAAAAAXs/WC-3ZnweO7A/s320/11.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>How to Make Sturdy Recycled Newspaper Pots<br /></strong><br />Making pots for seedlings is a great way to recycle newspaper and save money gardening. These recycled newspaper pots are relatively easy to make and make transplanting seedling to the garden very easy. Making pots this ways removes the need for any tape, glue, string, or staples and results in a sturdy recycled newspaper pot.<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Step 1<br />Start with a single page of newspaper folded in half on the crease.<br /><br />Step 2<br />Fold the newspaper in half again, lining up the bottom and top edges of the newspaper.<br /><br />Step 3<br />Cut about 3-3 1/2 inches off of the right side, through all four layers. If your newspapers are wider you may not need to cut any paper off. (The newspapers we used were approximately 11 inches wide.)<br /><br />Step 4<br />Fold in half from the bottom up.<br /><br />Step 5<br />Crease well.<br /><br />Step 6<br />Fold in half from the left to the right.<br /><br />Step 7<br />Crease well.<br /><br />Step 8<br />Take the bottom right corner (blue flower in the photo) and opening up the flap, line the corner crease up with the crease in the middle.<br /><br />Step 9<br />Flip the whole thing over.<br /><br />Step 10<br />Repeat with the flap on the left. (red flower in the photos)<br /><br />Step 11<br />Pull the left and right flap that are face up together.<br /><br />Step 12<br />Pull the back two flaps together. You should now have a smooth looking "triangle" with no loose bits.<br /><br />Step 13<br />Fold the top right flap in so the edge meets the middle crease. Crease firmly.<br /><br />Step 14<br />Fold the same flap in again (kind of like a paper airplane).<br /><br />Step 15<br />Repeat with the top left flap.<br /><br />Step 16<br />Flip the whole thing over and fold both flaps in the same way as the previous side.<br /><br />Step 17<br />Fold the tabs that are facing up into the pot so that the top folded edge lines up with the sides.<br /><br />Step 18<br />Flip the pot around and fold down the other tabs.<br /><br />Step 19<br />Fill with potting soil, dirt, or seed starter and plant your seeds or seedlings.<br /><br />We normally make a bunch at once. To keep the folded in tabs from coming undone, we collapse the first pot, folding the sides in like the sides of a gift bag and place it under a book. Once another pot is complete we simply place the first pot inside of the second. The pot inside is still collapsed like a gift bag and keeps the second pot from coming undone. Four collapsed pots fit nicely into one expanded pot.<br /><br />This also makes it easy to keep track of how many pots you have made since each group consists of five pots.<br /><br />Step 20<br />Place your recycled newspaper pots on an old cookie sheet or tray that has a small side to keep pots from falling off. </span></div>Parang Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11001855404473986661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051450545632219602.post-62173639500347487862010-04-08T07:40:00.000-07:002010-04-08T07:52:20.207-07:00Eco Gadgets: Recycled chandelier gives new look to broken glass<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S73te1twxbI/AAAAAAAAAXk/kBb6nFw4srY/s1600/broken-glass-chandelier_2_JFGQM_69.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457779437513786802" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S73te1twxbI/AAAAAAAAAXk/kBb6nFw4srY/s320/broken-glass-chandelier_2_JFGQM_69.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S73teTjL5MI/AAAAAAAAAXc/GTLds0toIs0/s1600/broken-glass-chandelier_1_BqDpm_69.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457779428342621378" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S73teTjL5MI/AAAAAAAAAXc/GTLds0toIs0/s320/broken-glass-chandelier_1_BqDpm_69.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Eco Gadgets: Recycled chandelier gives new look to broken glass </strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Eco Factor: Chandelier made from broken glass bottles.<br /><br />Canadian designer Eric Sauvé is giving a new look to broken glass, by converting all those sharp glass bits into a stunning chandelier to grace your indoors in a sustainable fashion.

Named after the newest Betty B. Team Rider Jeanette Ortiz, it comes in three great colors, black, clear and ivory. This sweet little bracelet is made with sustainable recycled glass and crystal beads (black and clear) or recycled glass beads (ivory). The jet black is strong and feminine at the same time. Wear the clear one with any color and see it pick it up through the glass. The ivory color is classic and unique at the same time.<br /><br />They look great worn three or more at a time and/or combined with other bracelets they would look great paired with silver.<br /><br />This item is hand made under fair trade conditions in a local and woman-owned artisan workshop on the beautiful Island of Bali. No sweatshops, all good vibes!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div> </div>Parang Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11001855404473986661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051450545632219602.post-70356373925522610732010-04-08T07:30:00.000-07:002010-04-08T07:37:17.049-07:00sustainable material - wood<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S73po9Bco6I/AAAAAAAAAXM/8aSfumKOaf8/s1600/solid-wood-furniture-set.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 274px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457775213227582370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UTKL-76Xp28/S73po9Bco6I/AAAAAAAAAXM/8aSfumKOaf8/s320/solid-wood-furniture-set.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>“WARM, NATURAL WOOD USES LESS ENERGY AND PRODUCES LESS AIR AND WATER POLLUTION THAN THE ENERGY INTENSIVE MANUFACTURE OF STEEL AND CONCRETE.”</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Everything we do affects the environment around us. It is impossible to construct a building without having some impact on the world’s environment. Designers and builders are becoming more aware that the selection of materials, building systems and equipment can reduce the effect of construction on the world around us.<br /><br />Designers and building owners in North America and elsewhere are embracing the concept of “Green Buildings” and are making choices that reduce energy use, reduce the use of non-renewable materials, and reduce the pollution caused by the manufacture of materials. In this way, they are able to minimize the impact or “environmental footprint” of a building.<br /><br />As designers make conscious environmental choices, they are returning to the only building material that uses the sun’s energy to renew itself in a continuous sustainable cycle – wood. Wood is the only major building material that is renewable. Warm, natural wood uses less energy and produces less air and water pollution than the energy intensive manufacture of steel and concrete. In addition, new technology is producing engineered wood systems that maximize the use of the material to reduce resource use. In looking at the scientific evidence, wood clearly makes the grade as the green building material of choice.<br /><br />There are many claims of environmental performance, making it difficult for designers to determine the right choices. In order to assist designers, builders and building owners in these choices, criteria and methods to evaluate performance are being developed by the US and Canada.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>Parang Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11001855404473986661noreply@blogger.com0
