Dzmitry Samal Eyewear

Taking inspiration from 1980s video games such as Tetris, the glasses are a nod to the current society’s digital roots and how “something as utilitarian as glasses can be transformed using technology.” The glasses are made of acetate and available in a variety of colors.

Dreams to Reality

Flex-Seats

Who says you have to be well rested to come up with a great idea? On an overnight flight, an exhausted Emil Jacob stared at the two empty seats next to him and the immobile arm rests that were keeping him from lying down. The solution to his discomfort? Flex-Seats. Jacob, now owner of Jacob Innovations LLC, has hopes of changing the comfort of airline travel with Flex-Seats. His designs aim to create more leg room and allow for all passengers to have a full or near-full recline without disturbing those behind them. This will be made possible by taking advantage of the vertical space in an airplane. Depending on the layout of a particular aircraft, there are several different models that can be adopted—ranging from raising every other seat a few inches, to creating small staircases for every row with a second floor of seats in each row.

Though they’re just a concept now, several airlines are looking into the designs. Soon enough, passengers might be thanking Emil Jacob as they comfortably drift off to sleep at 30,000 feet.

KANYE..you've done it again.

Lebron "Rise"

This commercial is too real! In this 90 second clip I feel this is something that everyone in a position of power goes through. To the same extent? Ehhhhh, not likely. But this definitely hit home. Not a Lebron fan. Not a Heat fan. DEFINITELY not a Cav fan. But I do support Lebron and this message.

Show Love.

Like any other day, I'm showing love.

This is quite possibly my favorite wallpaper that I have EVER seen! It's like east meets west. Or, Kobe versus Lebron. But inactuality its wind meets water.

Money Making Mondays: It All Starts With A Great Idea

Perhaps the most pernicious myth of all is that business success (small, medium or large) or making money depends on having a great idea. It is difficult to exaggerate how many books, articles and speakers have declared the monumental importance of starting out with an amazing idea. So universal is the appeal of “the great idea” that many now believe it is impossible to succeed with ordinary, proven business models like cleaning carpets or delivering pizza. In fact, there is very little truth to this at all. What counts far more than the idea you start out with is the speed and effectiveness with which you execute. At the time of the VCR’s emergence, for instance, many experts felt that Beta-Max was superior technologically for any number of defensible reasons. None of that matters, however, because most people have owned or used a VCR, but few have any personal experience with Beta-Max at all. The takeaway here is that the idea (no matter how groundbreaking) is always subservient to firm, relentless execution. Furthermore, it matters more that you are satisfying a genuine consumer demand than whether you are implementing the idea you personally wanted to implement.

First Thought On A Monday

I need a vacation. Haha. But in the meantime, I'll just listen to Lenny.

Pretty cool ads with Legos and Ball Point Pens. No wonder kids are getting tattoos so young nowadays!

A secret desk drawer that opens with a magnetic handle is but one of many hiding places inside everyday objects devised by YiTing Cheng. Watch the video below for more. I would love to have this around the house and office. Video done by Juriaan Booij. Bravo my friends.
