"One of the few complaints about the iPhone is the short battery life. Most people need to charge their phones on a nearly daily basis. The possibility for a low battery while away from a power outlet is pretty good, so off-grid charger concepts have come up often over the last few years. Most revolve around solar power, but the new iFan concept from Tjeerd Veenhoven utilizes the power of a good strong breeze." Nice find John.

Christmas gift idea #10

I know that they say buying movies is a 90's thing but maybe this is good for someone that doesn't believe that.
It is not great cinema but Stephen Chow is always really enjoyable to me.

Christmas Gift idea #9

A gift certificate to Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant. There has been a ton written about the amazing organic & locally sourced food. The restaurant features salvaged wood for the looring, beams and table tops. Also the bar top, is mounted on a rescued altar from a Mexican church.

Harney and Sons

Tonya: This is the tea I mentioned in the Christmas gift idea #8. I am sure you will love it. According to their website (www.harney.com), "from Oregon comes a marvelous, brisk peppermint. The peppermint leaves from this area produce a great smelling and crisp tasting tisane. We find a cup of this can also get a pesky stomach under control in no time." I have also found that it helps my stomach and I like to save the tins and use them to hold stuff around the house.

This is also a cool look. A lot of the forms in furniture right now seems to be derived from forms that are easy to model in 3D. I doubt that is how they arrived a the form but it certainly feels that way. The leather helps take this one in away from that a bit. It also help warm-up the basically cold form.

It doesn't work well for many products but this slabby look is great for this one. Almost makes me wish that our house was more contemporary.
