Cookie Diets In Demand

Cookie%20Diets%20In%20Demand.jpg

Four popular "cookie diets" are the latest quick-fix weight-loss fads. Followers eat special cookies about six times a day, and sometimes an additional "normal" meal of low-fat foods, for less than 1,000 calories total per day.

Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet has been endorsed by Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson. The treats contain protein, amino acids for appetite control, and cellulose for satiety. The plan includes a daily multivitamin.

Smart for Life not only sells cookie kits, but other prepared foods. The Hollywood Cookie Diet serves up a proprietary mix of protein and fiber for sustained energy. The Soypal Cookie Diet, which originates in Japan, mixes in soy pulp to keep people fuller longer.

In the case of fad diets, long-term health and wellness goals take a backseat to the pursuit of a beauty ideal. Cookie diet followers want results, and they want 'em fast, with minimum of effort or thought in regard to calorie counting, meal planning, shopping and exercise.

Unique Coffee Bags

Unique%20Coffee%20Bags.jpg

Inhabitat: This smart Upcycle Ottoman by Gus* Modern is made of repurposed jute bags that were once used to carry organic fair trade certified coffee. Produced in a limited quantity, each piece is unique and shows the branding and markings of the bags used in the process. No word if they still carry that wonderful coffee scent, but you can still identify which company produced the beans and where they came from.

lifeblogcamera.jpgNew Scientist: A camera you can wear as a pendant to record every moment of your life will soon be launched by a UK-based firm. Originally invented to help jog the memories of people with Alzheimer's disease, it might one day be used by consumers to create "lifelogs" that archive their entire lives.

Worn on a cord around the neck, the camera takes pictures automatically as often as once every 30 seconds. It also uses an accelerometer and light sensors to snap an image when a person enters a new environment, and an infrared sensor to take one when it detects the body heat of a person in front of the wearer. It can fit 30,000 images onto its 1-gigabyte memory.

New camera promises to capture your whole life [New Scientist]

Coolest Gadgets: When women travel, their makeup case goes with them, wherever they’re getting ready, that case is typically right there. Having a simple case always makes getting ready far less chaotic. Then if you add your favorite music to the combination, it makes for a more soothing morning. This Stila case manages to give both by having speakers actually built into in order to hook up your MP3 player.

The Stila case has plenty of compartments to keep your makeup where you can actually find all of it. To top things off it actually includes some makeup, like foundation, eye shadow, lip glaze and convertible color for your lips as well as cheeks. Along with the speakers, it has a DVD beautytube and an instruction card. The entire case and kit is being sold for $69.99.

Disposable Laptop

November 11, 2009 · 0 comments

Yanko Design: I quite agree with Je Sung Park when he says that disposable cameras and cell phones have gained acceptance, so why don’t we take the next step and bring out a disposable computer. His Recyclable Paper Laptop is quite a raw version and could do with some refinement. It uses recycled paper or pulp material all packed in layers. This is so that you can easily replace the damaged portions (even corrugated paper will tear easy). The vibe of a Paper Laptop is intriguing, I know eventually someone will figure out the tech bit, so let’s see who will take the bait.

3D2N at The Galactic Suite

November 10, 2009 · 0 comments

Reuters: A company behind plans to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and time frame for the multi-billion dollar project.

The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost 3 million euro ($4.4 million) for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island.

During their stay, guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. They would wear velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.

Galactic Suite Ltd's CEO Xavier Claramunt, a former aerospace engineer, said the project will put his company at the forefront of an infant industry with a huge future ahead of it, and forecast space travel will become common in the future.

ora_watch.jpg

CoolBuzz: The Ora watch surpasses all watches on innovative designing, intricacy and finesse in haute horology. The sight of this watch is such a novel experience that you won’t be able to inhibit the mesmerization it causes subtly. There is nothing very flashy about Ora. It has three tapes running in three different directions to keep the time, which at first may appear discrete, but are, in fact, one unit cohered together by time. All its appeal lies in the unprecedented design concept by Alexandros Stasinopoulos and the ease and elegance with which it embraces within itself such a marvel of complicate craftsmanship. The uppermost tape measures time in minutes, overlapping two smaller tapes that display hours and the current day of the week, respectively.
