The TikTok and LunaTik Multi touch watch kits!

TikTok and LunaTik simply transform the iPod Nano into the world’s coolest multi-touch watches. The idea to use the Nano as a watch was an obvious one ever since the product was announced. But we wanted to create a collection that was well designed, engineered and manufactured from premium materials and that complemented the impeccable quality of Apple products. Not just clipped on a cheap strap as an afterthought. We wanted to create a product that your friends and strangers would stop you and ask “WTF is that??? And where can I get one?!”

The really amazing thing about this is that the products them selves are not in production yet. KickStarter (link here) has been used to fund the project.

Initially Scott Wilson was looking for $15000 to get this off the ground. Well, it’s off the ground and about to enter space – how about a cool $500,000 + funding from people (like me) who have pledged money.

I was on the fence initially after reading about this online, and my friend Richard then blogged about it here. The NYT also covered this here.

A project that began with an iPod Nano and an experimental wristwatch design has quickly exploded online, receiving over $540,000 in funding through Kickstarter, a Web site that helps people find support for projects.

The project was created by the Chicago-based design firm Minimal, which wants to take the iPod Nano, Apple’s latest tiny multitouch iPod, and incorporate it into a wristwatch. Those who pledge $25 to the project will receive a Nano-holding watch kit when it is produced.

Scott Wilson, founder of Minimal, said his company had been astonished by the response to the idea.

There are two versions in the pipeline, the TikTok:

And the LunaTik:

Now I’m off the fence and have pledged my $65 for the LunaTik. Now I just need to buy the iPod Nano! I’m really pleased it has been such a success for them and I cannot wait to receive mine.

They have some stunning residences, and a really nice mix too – mountainside, to urban to desert to country. One day … one day ….

The woeful BT broadband was a little annoying, but they are pretty remote! I spent a lot of time planning, deciding on 2010 focus and noting down a number of things I really need to do….

One of the projects I’ve put down on the list for early 2010 is to sort out the office, affectionately known as the “command bunker”.

The main objectives are to declutter, get more usable space, better lighting, better filing, and more deskspace. Currently I have an old, rectangular Ikea desk, and this is going to be replaced with a corner one. I also have the old G5 here next the MacPro, so that is going to go downstairs (maybe a nice exhibit for the lounge) You don’t want to waste such nice design, do you?

Some decent shelves are also needed, so I’m hoping to get some custom fitted by a chap in the village. Not sure what else is really needed, so if you have ay suggestion, do let me know! What do you think is essential for a small home office?

Talking of which, desks and design is a tricky beast. I have not seen many I really like. Until now. Just check this out. Amazing. A perfect match for the Apple gear and lots of features built in. I wonder if it will go into a production!?

What do you get when you take the Windows and OSX calculators from the desktop, and actually make them real?!

Well, this great post shows the 2 new calculators, and I know which one I want on my desk Speaking of calculators, I cannot remember the last time I used a traditional one. It is either via the dashboard or the iPhone. Are they becoming extinct?

If, like me, you love design, the new film Objectified is going to be right up your street.

Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.

If I use something every day, it is SO much better to get pleasure from it. From the look. From the feel. From the usability. From the ease of use. From the design. My mobile. My computers. My house phones. Light switches. Lamps. The list goes on.

What do you covet in terms of design?

Having had a good look around for home office solutions, I was very excited to see the OfficePod this evening, picked up by the excellent twitturly (tracks links which are being tweeted).

Lets get the good news over with. It looks FAb. Great design, well thought out and the website is very nice indeed. Really focuses on both employee and emplyer benefits. In fact the site and company seem very geared up to encouraging working from home.

Ok, the bad news. Apparently they are rental only. Yep. How about £5K per year? Err. Nope. This is a real mistake IMHO. If priced well, these would sell like hot cakes. But 4 years at £5K, and you are in the realms of Garden Lodges and the Qube. SO back to square one.

What do I need? Well, space for one (the OfficePod is VERY small to be fair). Has to be well designed and a reasonable price. I really need to separate the home and the work life as they all too frequently merge into one. (Not too much to complain about though, as I love my work)

What do you think guys n gals? Any top tips for home / garden offices?!
