Kokuyo adds a simple twist to a highlighter pen allowing you to highlight, circle, or outline any text!
Several years ago I slammed my highlighter into a corner and left 2 jagged edges leaving vampire like tips (I might have also just carved a triangle out with an exacto blade late into a creative night procrastinating). Anyhow, I used the pen until it dried up, but I never thought I’d see this accident turn into a product! Accidents(procrastinating) are sometimes the best inventions!
Tim Brown’s talk from “Art’s Center: Serious Play”, which I attended and blogged, is online now. Watch it above. Watch out for the finger blasters!! and yes, work should be play!

How awesome! Seongyong Lee added a little air bubble to his utensils designs which float them like buoys with handles in the air, and a nice scooper for your punch bowl!

I discovered these delicious new creations during RISD’s alumni sale event this past weekend running into co-founder Joe Gebbia (RISD ID ’05) who’s also founded Critbuns.com, Ecolect.net, and now AirbedAndBreakfast.com
I took a few pics with Joe after the jump… including my Freshmaker selection!
I’m not sure what Nudibranch’s are exactly, but what I am mesmerized by is how photographer David Doubilet takes these incredible images underwater seemingly CGI or at least a bit of photoshopping, but sweet goodness, David strapped a mini lightbox to his camera and went right down in the ocean to shoot! Awesome! I need a large portable lightbox strapped to my camera now! Check out the rest of the article and images via National Geographic!
