Fog Screen September 30, 2005

FogScreen is break through technology that allows projection of high quality images in the air. It is currently the only walk-through projection screen. You can literally use the air as your user interface by touching only the air with your bare hands. The screen is created by using a suspended fog generating device with no frame around, and works with video projectors. The fog they use is dry, so it doesn’t make you wet even if you stay under the FogScreen device for a long time.  The fog is made of ordinary water with no chemicals whatsoever. With two projectors, you can project different images on both sides of the screen. Read More.

Juicy Couture iPod Shuffle Necklace September 30, 2005

Juicy Couture has created some fun accessories for the iPod. This one is actually really "charming" with it’s gold plated cherry trinkets hanging off the chain (which are sold separately).

I am wondering if they will make other charms to hang off this necklace. The chain is 25" long, and the cherry charm has cubic zirconia and glass detail. Both are 14K gold-plated.  Price: $65 (chain)  $45 (cherry) Available Here.

  For some, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. For others, beauty starts with a taller nose. Here is another contraption to use right before you go to bed to make your nose taller by lifting the nose cartilage.   You only sacrifice 10 minutes a day to reshape you nose, instead of spending thousands of dollars in rhinoplasty.  The gadget is called "hanataka kyosei HICO" which means nose-tall correction. The site doesn’t mention the length of treatment or effectiveness of wearing this item.
