JetBlue Bliss Shut Eye kitJetBlue has done it again, changing the in-flight experience into a more desirable experience for everyone. You know all those “red-eye” flights, we’ll jet-blue just started renaming that experience into the “shut-eye” experience which comes along with a little goody kit by Bliss which most passengers have not experienced unless flying international. Go Go JetBlue!

update: Seems Jetblue downgraded to a simple foil package with just the eye patch and ear plugs now. Sounds like Bliss pulled out or something. Picture of the new package after the jump.

I’m not sure about black toilet paper for the trendy and stylish. From my design knowledge, people like to know, know how dirty they are. Admit it, you look!!..There’s a reason why toilet paper, towels, and tissue paper are white. You sneeze, and you look…you wipe and you look! Dyson revolutionized the vacuum by letting us know and see how much stuff we picked up. People enjoy the fact that they just vacuumed up a big ball of dirt.

Karim Rashid Here’s an interesting interview with Karim Rashid. One portion that caught my thoughts:

How do you see history?
“I think tradition is what holds us back. You know, if I’m a Muslim or a Jew, I don’t eat pork. That’s absurd. The reason we didn’t eat pork at one time is that it was full of worms because we didn’t have refrigerators, right? We’re hanging on to ideas and values and ways to live that are six, seven thousand years old.”

Tradition or definitions are good at times, but sometimes definitions should only be defined by restrictions. This is something I think about a great deal in the design world!

solar water bottle with lightHere’s another clever combo of products. A waterbottle, solor panel, and LED light source. If your a camper of any sort, you’ll find this Sollight useful. Walk around during the day, let the solar panel charge, and light up the LED for 8-10 hours once you hit up camp. I’m not sure how bright it is, but I’ve seen some blazing bright leds lamps recently.

Adjustable Temp CapHere’s a rather ingenious little invention! An adjustable cap on hot sauce! I’d somewhat wonder how great this works compared to 2-3 separate bottles, but it’s good food for thought in the ever clustered world of options. Reminds me of Barry Schwartz and his book “Paradox of Choice”, where he explains, more choice or excessive choice can be bad!
