I'm one drawn to the visually captivating aspect of design in many of the techy urban gadgets out there today in the market, or being tested in underground labs as prototypes. But for me, function must always be an integral aspect of that object (it should serve a purpose), not just the clean, minimal, and sharp curvatures that form part of the aesthetics---but something worth carrying (portable) that serves both you, and the City, by not adding to the carbon footprint and pollution. I recently found a website that features some interesting ideas that appeal to the geeky-techy side of us all, with ideas turned gadgets that appear to make anyone's innercity life a bit easier and more enjoyable. Tuvie, a website that lets you contribute ideas for our future good, is visionary in the cooperative nature of allowing us to submit our ideas/inventions on a global/universal level (via the web) so that we can all continue to push our creative minds further. One of the most recent ideas that caught my eyes---okay, get this: The Touchable (pictured below), which is a "mini-me" DJ turntable you can mix tracks with via your wireless audio system, so that you're basically walking around your crib with a turntable in the palm of one hand mixing tracks with your fingers, and sipping your mojito in the other! Since you're mixing wirelessly, you could take it anywhere you go (an undoubtedly impressive move with that new neighbor...), so long as your range allows---although, i'm not quite sure what would happen if it were to fall inside the hot tub. One last thing, it comes in white too, but i'm definitely loving the black. happy holidays...vigo
