Pekoppa is listening!

tesla — Thu, 14 May 2009 16:25:44 +0000

Do you ever feel lonely or sad and just need someone to listen?

Well, this might be your solution: The brand new listening-plant, PEKOPPA!

Pekoppa is an electronic plant that nods after you told it something. While the magic 8-Ball provides you with actual answers to your question, Pekoppa will listen and give you strength in showing sympathies.

Do you think, the fact that this gadget was invented in Japan is an indicator for a sustaining social isolation in the country?

How to make sushi with Phun!

tesla — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:48:31 +0000

“Phun is a free game like 2D physics sandbox where you can play with physics like never before. The playful synergy of science and art is novel, and makes Phun as educational as it is entertaining.”
-> http://www.phunland.com/wiki/Home

Somebody built himself a sushi-machine with phun, you can survey the results on youtube. Below you find the specialized Ikura-Mashine. (for those who don’t know, this is what ikura looks like in reality)

Through the eyes of a professional sushi-chef this might seem a bit ridiculous but also quite cute and funny!

Bookrecommodation:

If you’re interested in japanese culture, kawaii in particular, or maybe just in design this is a book for you. It shows many different comic characters used by japanese companies as logo/mascot.

So cute!

Time for SUSHI!!!

tesla — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 01:34:55 +0000

Even If sushi hasn’t reached the farest outposts of our world yet, it has become quite present in our daily business.
In bigger cities you have a sushi-place on almost every second corner so you can easily satisfy your appetite on sushi. But the most important thing about this wave of sushibars is to divide the goods from the bads.
So here is my favourite sushiplace in the world:

Not only that you find the most delicious and accurately prepared selection of sushi in this place you also can enjoy the re-launch of their corporate design (created by aeffaeff), which is still in progress but already very enjoyable. Just have a look at their website (available in german and english) or look them up at myspace!

The Zenbar is located in Kiel, Germany, so if you happen to be in town you have to stop by (especially suited for ferry-visitors from sweden or norway)!

Besides the excellent food you can also enjoy special events every other month, like concerts or literature readings.
