Photographer Stefan does these really cool Star Wars pictures. This time he has featured a cute chipmunk. What more is there to say! “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?”

Happy bin bags

If you don’t get a kick out of the idea of recycling, maybe these bin bags can help you have fun with disposing your trash and leftovers. Wieden + Kennedy, who created the design, claim that now taking the trash out is so much more fun! We are on the same page here.

You can buy the bags from SUCK UK

Useless gadgets

Nuacco — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:21:32 +0000

Being a useless gadget is certainly a very subjective thing, however we have gathered a couple of inventions, which apart from being great might also be considered useless. But, hey, isn’t it the best to stuff up your place with small cool things?

Fly Swatter 1: 1000 by Belenko – Now fly has a chance!

Idea: Denis Belenko, Alexandr Brazhenskiy
Model: Dmitriy Nkolaenko

Now all of them have a chance!

Belenko Studio

Turbo Stirrer – Like tiny little propellers on the S.S. Cocktail, these plastic stirrers help keep your party moving, mixing your favorite beverages with a simple spin. Only for 12 USD.

This is a bubble-producing bike – Power to the Pedal.

Similar to the tuft of a dandelion as the wind carries the seedling, Society Creative IIc. proposes a way of dispersing seedlings with bubbles and bicycling. Seeds are co-mingled with a bubble mixture and upon pedaling to your destination , you release the floating seeds which land in cracks and crevices throughout the city streets.

Over time, the seeds grow into flowers and plants to create a green “fringe” to our sidewalks and streets.

Advertising rules the world

Some fresh advertisements over here.

Arrive Alive: I’m fine to drive is another example of cool guerilla ads – like so many we have seen before. And those t-shirt inscriptions should sound familiar to every driver who has once drank too much.

Different cool VW Van ads, really versatile, and hey these vans are cute old-school.

Thanks to IBelieveinadv.com for the upper above.

Not exactly an ad, but huge at the moment. New York State Senator Carl Kruger is introducing legislation that could make crossing the street in New York while listening to an iPod, chatting on a cell phone or emailing on a BlackBerry punishable by a $100 fine. And that could be fair enough.

Want it all

Rock and roll

Nuacco — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:16:38 +0000

So, how is it when you feel bad wasting beauty? Definitely with cool toilet rolls. It turns out they can be so unusual.

1. On A Roll make barb wire toilet rolls to feel threatened, tape-line rolls for the greedy and On the crime scene rolls for crimes in the WC.

Some options of toilet rolls for those who get bored when using them:

2. A book printed on the roll. When you have read the whole book it will also be gone.

By Daniel Mencak

3. Sudoku roll with many many different puzzles – for a thoughtful restroom visit.

4. Bring some music into your lavatory with this quirky yet practical patterned Toilet Roll

5. Help decorated toilet paper
Design: Gabriele Pezzini

6. Aesthetically beautiful toilet rolls from Renova in black, green, red and orange. Yipee!

For haters:

7. Do you hate RIAA? If you do, this one’s for you.

8. Put whatever you want on a roll of toilet paper, including your least-favorite politician, ex-wife, mother-in-law, corporate logo—anything or anyone you feel like shitting on.

Anyway, thank Goodness, someone (Kimberly-Clark) first came up with elusive hands-free toilet paper dispenser. Now it is much easier but not much room for art, though.

Modern condoms – more fun than necessity

Nuacco — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 13:32:38 +0000

How many of you have filled condoms with water? Or made balloons? Or otherwise used condom in an appropriate way?

Well, if you have, you must admit condoms are more fun than necessity nowadays.

Condoms come in different colors, with different scents and shapes and whatsover.

For example, design genius Atypyk has these great KamaSutra condoms -
64 different condoms depicting 64 Kamasutra positions. They were so popular that are now out of stock.

After using a condom, you can safely store this essential personal care item in a cute stainless steel dispenser.

..and store condoms in a condom box in steel mirror polished.

And let’s not forget advertising – condom ads seem to be the most creative and funniest because of the ambiguity. So here’s a collection of condom ads. If you have some more (because there really is a lot), feel free to share with us.

There’s something fishy going on

Nuacco — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 11:20:24 +0000

If you love pets, but all you have is fish, you can still make fish life more wonderful with these fish bowls.

Latest creation from genius Roger Arquer presents 15 variations of the standard fish bowl including Do Not Piss Me Off with a message for the poor fish to behave itself.

Each Arquer fish bowl, as a proper item of design, gives a beautiful and creative solution to a problem. May it be a vase and a bowl, a wishing well and a bowl, a candle and a bowl or the others – all designed very stylishly.

Fish Bowls will be exhibited in London this September as part of Conversational Spanish 02. The exhibition also shows the work of other Spanish designers including El Ultimo Grito, Martin de Azua and Marti Guixe.

But that’s not all of it.

Shay Alkalay’s giant wall mounted revolving fish bowl allows your dearest pet to travel the polluted ocean from the comfort of his own home

Carlo Contin makes wonderful fishbowls with two rooms for fish to swim:

Another fish bowl with two departments was designed by Isabelle Leijn. The Racetrack Fish Bowl allows fish to instead of swimming side to side in a regular bowl, swim one long distance. Because we all know that a memory of a golden fish is just 7 seconds, so it can make laps all the way, thinking how great it feels in the Racetrack Fish Bowl.

This fish bowl is meant more for the better room-design of its owner: Acrylic Wall Mount fish bowl, looks very comfortable.
