Chuckimal

Hazel Chua — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 03:29:27 +0000

When people name a certain item or product, they often take into consideration what the thing is or what it’s for. Take the Chuckimal, for example. It’s a strange name to call a plush toy, but I reckon it got its name from the fact that it’s an animal plush toy that’s meant to be [...]

Hazel Chua — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 05:29:00 +0000

The future of memos is here, care of the Play Video Memo Pad. Instead of scribbling out a quick note to tell your flatmates or family where you’ll be going or what kind of favor you need from them, you can now record a short video message that they can play back with the push [...]

Note Me Cushions

Hazel Chua — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:31:21 +0000

My mom was a huge nagger. She’d get on my case for forgetting to turn the lights off, or for not returning the glass/bottle/remote/whatever to its proper place (even while I was still using it, mind you.) I still love her all the same, but sometimes I really want to take a break from all [...]

DIY Wooden Postcard

Hazel Chua — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:35:53 +0000

Sometimes the old way of doing things is still the best way. Take postcards for example. I prefer physical postcards compared to e-cards any time. But if you’re up to it, then another twist to this conventional way of getting a short message across the world is through the DIY Wooden Postcard. I think its [...]

Message Ball

Hazel Chua — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 02:38:40 +0000

You don’t need to send your messages in bottles anymore. While the thought is romantic, it’s also not practical. You can’t wait for years and years for the message to get to you (via some kind stranger who happens to find it washed up on a beach on the other side of the world.) Instead, [...]

LED Car Message Display

Patra Beaulieu — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:30:40 +0000

Message In A Bottle

Hazel Chua — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 05:39:54 +0000

“Sending out an SOS to the world..” That old song by The Police immediately popped into my head when I saw the Message in a Bottle. Women find stories of men who used such methods to send out their love and communicate to their other half while they were at sea incredibly romantic; so why [...]

The Postcup

Conner Flynn — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:02:06 +0000

We’ve seen our share of geeky coffee mugs around here, like the Wind Up Coffee Mug for instance, but the Postcup makes your mug do double duty as a drinking mug and a postcard in one. Think of it as a postcard that never leaves your house or office to fly through the mail. You [...]
