My dear friends over at Metropolis Magazine have just announced a call for entries for this year’s Next Generation design competition. NextGen is a contest for ideas that improve our way of life through clever use of existing technology. The prize is seed money to get your idea rolling. It’s a really incredible opportunity that you should check out if you’ve ever felt that there is room for improvement in life. I had the unique pleasure of being present for the judging a few years back and there were some really amazing concepts. Please check it out!
By the way, that hard boiled egg logo is supposed to be a bunson burner flame.
I have to go Wii-Wii

As if I haven’t already peed myself over the Nintendo Wii, here’s one more reason why my pants aren’t wet enough.
There’s definitely evidence of a new WarioWare game in there. This makes me happy.
Here’s a simple trick for optimizing your closet. Each time you get clean laundry load it in on the left side pushing the clothes you haven’t worn to the right.
(click on the illustrations to enlarge)
The clothes you wear the most stay on the left. The ones you wear the least stay on the right. This allows you to do a few things :
- Your favourite shirt should always be one of the first you see on the left.
- If you want to wear clothes you haven’t worn in a while, take something from the right.
- After a few months, you can get rid of the clothes from the far right since you never wear them. Alternatively, when seasons change, you can just flip and start going right to left instead.
Laugh all you want, it works!
