Iconoculture: Recently debuted Organize Magazine gives consumers a guide to regaining control of their lives by eliminating clutter.

Bike Dispenser
The Cool Hunter: Here at TCH, we love riding bikes through the city. There’s something immensely pleasing about sailing past scores of traffic with little more than a push of a pedal. And at the same time, you’re burning the calories, and doing your bit to stay green. But there’s one thing we hate about this simple mode of transport. […]
SMS Trading Cards
TrendCentral: Atlantic Records has partnered with Hook Mobile to create mobile SMS-based trading cards featuring music artists from the label. Fans will purchase the cards via text and just like the old school tangible baseball cards that we all remember, cards will be distributed at random and some will be rarer than others. Collectors can hold onto their cards (which […]

Gizmodo: Here’s an idea for number-crunching road warriors that might be even better: a USB mouse with an integrated calculator. This calculator mouse is a real, shipping product.

Energy Walk
Iconoculture: Our current alternative energy source of choice is “crowd farming.” That practice — which turns the energy people create as they walk, run and otherwise go about their daily activities into electricity. The system could be installed in areas of high pedestrian traffic, placing blocks below the normal flooring that bounce and rub up against each other as they’re […]
Acai Berries – The Latest Craze
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: It’s small, plump, purple and sexy. It’s the acai berry. Harvested from palm trees in the Brazilian Amazon, acai (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee) seems to have everything going for it. It’s got more antioxidants than blueberries, red wine or pomegranates. It’s rich in omega fatty acids, fiber and vitamins. It packs a delectable berry-cocoa flavor – think red wine with […]
