Check out the new line of laser-cut acrylic jewelry that I produce for my friends at The Opulent Project . “The silhouettes of earrings worn by royalty are made from a plastic often used as nametags for service workers and the silhouette of ornate chandeliers are cut from fluorescent light panel covers.” I love the way the light refracts through the prismatic florescent light diffuser material! Get a pair for Mothers-day (5-11) ASAP!

Now the group is encouraging their fans to remix the new hit single “Nude” and vote on the results. The design of the site is really simple - yet effective, it reminds me of the new mp3 sharing site, Muxtape.

radiohead remix

I’ve been into Radiohead all my adult life, and I’m amazed at how they continually reinvent themselves and the music industry. This official remix site is probably inspired by the popularity of underground remixes like Amplive’s Rainydayz Remixes, and Easy Star All Star’s Radiodread remix.
Innovation is key! - what will they roll out next?

Thanks to NeuBlack for letting me know about this new concept laptop from Fujitsu that was introduced at Milan Design week 2008. The beveled edges are reminiscent of the new Apple MacBook Air, but I’m not feeling the integrated soft case. Leave it up to the design geniuses at Apple to create an elegant all wooden laptop, hint, hint….
Asus is also exploring natural materials with their concept bamboo laptops.
My favorite example of this new trend is by Holland-based Miniot, makers of wooden iphone/ipod cases. I just ordered one to engrave, I’ll post the results soon.

After a killer live show, I’m usually the first one in line for band merchandise. T-shirts are an essential for promoting any band, but now bands can offer their bookish fans something new: laser engraved Moleskine notebooks. The Portland based band,Yacht came up with a great design to help promote their current world tour. If you haven’t heard their music, check them out - It’ll knock your socks off!

This laser engraved half-white, half-black Apple Macbook is one of my favorite projects so far, because it has a deep connection to my hometown - Astoria, Oregon. Some people might know Astoria as the location for The Goonies, Free Willy, Kindergarten Cop, Short Circuit, and many other stellar cinematic productions. Or you may remember from history class that the Lewis and Clark Expedition finally reached the Pacific Ocean near what was to become Astoria.

DANGER….And the industry’s first 12/24 volt handheld fiber laser system by Laser Photonics.
This is a system designed to mark barcodes on missiles and such without having to drag the missile over to the laser. Now you can walk the streets laser marking everything in sight!
