For Dan

"Great vocab didn't save the Thesaurus"

It was just this weekend that our friend Dan stated.
"When I was a kid, I thought a Thesaurus was a well read dinosaur"
Too bad I already got his Christmas present.

I've got a woody.


I have to say, I don't know if I approve.

The Kami Mug
Kami means paper, and the Kami mug is hand crafted in a workshop in Hokkaido Japan by Hidetoshi Takahashi. The cup is made from Castor Aralia wood, shaped using a potter’s wheel (Katz's note: I believe they mean Lathe, unless that is the softest of soft woods) and coated with a food safe resin.

Splink



This is the Splink. The cup cradle that prevents you from knocking over your drink. 
Unfortunately to perform it's noble service it hide a most of the aesthetic of your but, cest le vie if it keeps your mug up right. 


To me the immediate appeal is not so much spill prevention but destruction deterrence. 
As I say to Mrs. Rose. "I'm the reason we can't have nice things." Even though I am a ceramical person. I also break everything that gets broken in the house. I have sent many a mug to the shelf where we display items at angles so that they appear not to be broken.

Nothing is gonna bring me down.



Well,
I've got nothing.
Unfortunately part of this whole world wide web is that it it is world wide.
My Chinese is somewhere between "rusty" and "non-existent" and the website does not provide too much info, even with the Google translate.
What I can tell you is that these fun little cups are by Xu54 and they were inspired by gravity and wings.
Other than that, I can tell you that they are pretty fun.

Thinsparation



This piece comes from  Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, by student Sharona Merlin has designed a flattened cup and saucer. I Love the way it looks and I guess it could work as a demitasse.

Iron-ic



Art Lebedev Studios are one of the more interesting design groups out there. Consistently coming up with new and engaging things. 

This new project, entitled the Ironius Mug, is a combination mug and clothing iron. For those pressed for time and under caffeinated.  



Alton Brown, my favorite cooking show host, always declares his disdain for Uni-Taskers. Tools that only perform one job. This is a Multi-Tasker for sure...But, I would be afraid of spilling coffee on my shirts and staining them.


Sorry for the gratuitous "function" shot. Blame the designer and not the blogger.

You're in hot water now



I know these are old and dated but I always have a soft spot for thermally activated mugs. 

This one in particular more poignant then the rest. It contains the entire Bill of Rights that disappears right before your eyes

I'm one of the classic civil libertarians. Don't trust the government and always watch out. This mug will help to keep you on your toes. Or it means that warm liquids are trying to keep us down... Hard to say.

I'll have mine with cream and finger...



Ok Folks, 


Sometimes I get critical becuase I believe that some things are unnecessary or over designed. When I do, people tend to pop us and tell me how wrong I am, and that's fine. We are all allowed to have different opinions. So it is going to be up to all of you to come up with a defense of this one, 'cause I got nothing. 




This is the Finger Stirring lid from New Plan Design and all I can say is, 

Really...Really?

You know, certain tools have stuck around through history because they do their job just fine. Such is the case with the spoon. It does just fine .Is it perfect? No, but it's ok. 


Where as with this "Lid" I really don't know what do say. 
I know that in the States we don't use lids while actively drinking from coffee cups (travel cups excluded). And that in some countries they do. But still.   


And are you really gaining that much in functionality by eliminating the need for a spoon but adding a weird lid? Never mid the fact that this "finger" is always going to be hanging out in your beverage? No Thank You.


whatever...

I hate you so hard.



That is what Mrs. Rose told me this morning and it made my heart all a-flutter. 

We are both those kind people who get a little queezy by the notion of love having to be all hearts and flowers. To us love is sarcastic and exciting, down and dirty

That is why, I hate Valentines day. 

I'm not going to go on a rant about how the whole thing is a crock made by the candy, card and flower industries. Or how society expects me to express my love of my wife on just one particular day. I tell my wife that I love and appreciate her everyday. So Valentines day can kiss my a$$. 

If you do like that crap. enjoy this my with a shadow decal making a heart, shape with the handle. bleah!
