If Only More Gadgets Looked Like iHome’s iP4 Boombox

Combining old school inspiration with a stark design full of sharp lines and a matte finish, iHome’s iP4 boombox simultaneously makes nods to the outlandish, button crazy gadgets of the past, and the flat, minimal designs of the now. I think I’m swooning. The tonal colorway and the seemingly matte finish give the iP4 the…

Uberhood Bike Umbrella Protects You From Rain, Sun and Unobstructed Visibility

There’s a good reason this is probably the first bike mounted hands-free umbrella you’ve ever seen. Previous attempts to bring such a product to fruition fizzled out once their creators realized what a terrible idea it would be. But not the makers of the Uberhood. It’s a streamlined, aerodynamic umbrella designed to repel rain while…

Lomokino Is Lomography’s Dinky 35mm Video Camera

Styled kind of like an old Kodak Brownie, Lomography’s first-ever video camera, the Lomokino, shoots video on ordinary rolls of 35mm film with a little crank of a handle. Capable of squeezing up to 50 seconds of footage onto a standard 36-frame roll, the finished results are a real throw back to ye olden days.…

What looks like a collection of retro gear that’s passed through the TSA’s penetrating scanners is actually a unique photo exhibit created without the use of a single X-ray. For his most recent photographic exhibition—Proposition One: Only The Ephemeral—Max de Esteban started by painstakingly deconstructing a collection of older electronics like 35mm film cameras, VCRs…
