are you kidding? this is cheap gadgeting that doesn't belong to this blog...and the worst part is: I'm even spending time writing a comment!

cool design... btw, design is/are gadgets.

@ a.d.k.v. - must disagree with you. Although a little 'throw away' this seems on first view to be tactile, engaging and most importantly it seems to do a job and do it well - which is more than can be said for a lot of work that appears on here.

And just because something is cheap it doesn't devalue it. Reducing costs is a ever present design challenge, just one that many people avoid.

and cheap means accessible. This is the first thing that I have seen so far that made me think "I will get that"

I find it cute. adding a bit of fun to our usual routine. in fact I tot it was quite cleverly done

cute and usefull if it really is cheap, EVEN BETTER! :)

well...how a simple adjective can create such a stream of comments! cheap was not refering to the price (I mean...who would ever think that un-expensive is bad? and most of all, who would ever take price as a paradigm for the actual value of anything?), but to the design approach and the doubtful iconic value: both too obvious and expression of a quick and purely commercial way of designing...but that's just my opinion.
a.d.k.v   04.14.10
agreed... looks like something you would buy in a museum gift shop along with a rainbow eraser
Tom   04.14.10
Cute and useful....obviously sometimes the simplest of things can make the biggest impact....this is intelligent design for the masses
