Reduce, Reuse, Reargyle

Reduce, Reuse, Reargyle:

Time to Save Argyle

2nd place in Derby #275: I Recycle, Editor's Choice!
People, please. Listen up: if we keep using it at our current rate, we will deplete our argyle resources within the next three decades. Imagine the blank socks, sweaters, and vests, sadly waiting for a colored grid that will never come? That doesn't sound like a world you want to live in, does it?
No! That's why we need to act fast! We need to look into environmentally-conscious argyle alternatives. Some of what's been proposed:

  • Electric argyle

  • Hemp argyle

  • Solar-powered argyle

  • Hydrogen argyle

  • Hologram argyle

  • Ghost argyle
A little goes a long way so please consider donating to a scientist working with alternative argyle... before it's too late!
Wear this shirt: under an open cardigan.
Don't wear this shirt: under an argyle sweater. That would be redundant.
This shirt tells the world: Argyle or else!
We call this color: brown as my compost bin.

Watch LG Use IPS Displays to Trick Elevator Passengers Into Thinking They're About to Die

Watch LG Use IPS Displays to Trick Elevator Passengers Into Thinking They're About to Die:




There's nothing quite like a good prank, and what prank is better than convincing innocent people that they are about to meet their bitter, messy end? That's the path LG went down for this ad, where they use IPS displays to fool people—however briefly—that an elevator's floor is falling out from beneath them.
Presumably these are all random, innocent people, but it's an ad so you can be skeptical if you like. Regardless of what it may or may not say about how lifelike LG's IPS displays are, it's a pretty good trick and it's fun to see people yelp and grab for the railing. I'm just glad I never set foot in there. That's a particularly nagging fear of mine and I'm pretty sure I would wet myself on the spot. Who knows how those displays would fare then.

The Lowly Button Gets a Brilliant Upgrade

The Lowly Button Gets a Brilliant Upgrade:
The Lowly Button Gets a Brilliant UpgradeThere should be a special Nobel Prize set aside for geniuses who find ways to improve the simplest things in life. And this year's award would go to Shapeways user OliveBird, whose Button 2.0 turns any shirt into a convenient headphone wrangler.
It's not to say that the traditional button design isn't useful. It's just that with the addition of a subtle clamp on one edge for holding headphone cables no thicker than two millimeters, the Button 2.0 is approximately a thousand times more useful. And this isn't some design student's thesis on how to make the world better. It's an actual product you can order from Shapeways in different colors ranging in price from $3 to $4. Expensive for a button? Yes. But this is the bleeding edge of shirt fastening/cable wrangling technology.
