The Any Brush: finger toothbrush

Sometimes you just need to brush your teeth when you’re not at home, like say coming back to work from lunch. The problem is that most people don’t bring their toothbrushes outside their homes. Designer Yuanyan Li may have just come up with a solution. Called the Any Brush, it is essentially a disposable, slip-on toothbrush for your finger. Simply slide it onto your finger and brush away! The Any Brush comes in a very compact package that makes it extremely portable and even features a compartment to hold toothpaste. The best part is that the entire product is environmentally safe when discarded.

Who doesn’t like warm, delicious waffles? How about warm, delicious waffle keyboards? Designed by Chris Dimino, the Corona-Matic Waffle Iron is actually an old, useless typewriter turned into something very useful. A waffle maker that forms keyboard-shaped deliciousness.

All you’ll need is a waffle recipe and some maple syrup…

If Stewie Griffin was rendered realistically

From my favorite Photoshop guru Pixeloo, comes Stewie Griffin from Family Guy. Just as disturbing as his Mario and Homer Simpson ‘untooning’, but equally awesome.

Man rides Moped while eating noodles

Not sure if this was just a one-time stunt or if the Taiwanese man regularly eats while riding, but it appears the police in Zhanghua are looking to fine the man, that is, if they can find him.

In case you were wondering what the man says in the beginning: “These noodles smells really good, but I am riding the motorbike, what should I do? Whatever!”

I’m impressed. Both for his riding and chopstick skills.

Longest cell phone, ever?

need-6.jpg

From designer Tamer Koseli, comes the longest cell phone concept, called “Need”. However, I beg to differ. The phone doesn’t really look long (see image above), in fact, it actually looks like a stretched out skinny iPhone (notice the bottom ‘Home” button and the slit ear-piece). Unfortunately, the design doesn’t call for an MP3 player, video capabilities, or a camera, but it does have two screens: an OLED and touchscreen. It also looks like the touchscreen can be used with a stylus, which I though were extinct.
