Posted on | June 26, 2009 | No Comments
Dan: onion goggles? seriously? For those in the kitchen who simply can not handle the potency of an onion this might be an option…
Joseph: You think you don’t need them. You’re right. But when your eye’s start watering they’re great to have!

Joseph: I enjoy having these around. They’ve come in handy and offer the team a language to rally around. Have ‘em as a resource on your desk to push ideas further.
Dan: From one of the top thinking firms & these cards prove it. This is a must have for every innovators desk as a reference. Be sure to use daily.
MLB App

Joseph: It’s pushing the edge of mobile content distribution. I like it and now I pay attention to baseball.
Dan: The MLB App is by far one of the best apps on the iPhone. It is worth every penny and a great cases study for a UX designer. It doesnt help the Cubs win though…
Creative Whack Pack

Dan: It’s a thought provoking series of flash cards. I imagine they would be better in print.. The app is quite useful in idea meetings etc.
Joseph: Seems interesting. I don’t have it but I can see potential benefit. At this point if it’s free I’d try. Or if they add a daily alert feature I’d pay $2.99.
Citizen Eco Drive Watch

Dan: Cool watch at a great price point. Solar powered. Glow in the dark. Unique and interesting slide rule can be used for simple math. Easy read
Joseph: While I am not into watches I am into innovation. I like the incorporation of the power source into the center of the face.

Japanese Saw

Dan: At first glance this is just another saw… However the small teeth, ergonomic handle, and flexible blade make it perfect for any small job!
Joseph: There are a must have for a tool box. Buy one and your next cut will be a happy one.

Stiletto Hammer

Dan: innovative hammer meant for the serious carpenter yet makes sense for the weekend warrior. A must have tool in your collection worth the $$!

Kindle2 iPhone App & Cases
Posted on | March 19, 2009 | No Comments
Dan: Simple protection for ur Kindle by Belkin – little bit of leather & some neoprene w/half zip. Basic yet functional. Probably better avail.
Joseph: I dig my Patagonia case. Downsides are zippers always touching hands when reading folded open and I wish it zipped easier.

Kindle2
Posted on | March 17, 2009 | No Comments
Dan: Printed media in the palm of your hand. National News, Mags, & your favorite blogs. Well thought out, routine changing. Innovative. Simple.
Joseph: Digital paper is amazing. The Kindle is challenging assumptions and has significant implications. I wish the 5way controller was easier to use.

A Change in Direction from Skip Wisconsin on Vimeo
SkipWisconsin is taking on a new direction. After 3 months of insights into the various business problems and opportunities we have decided to take a turn. This idea hit us one night after talking about the Kindle2 and how it changed the way we read our Sunday morning paper. We decided that the way we frame our conversations around SW would relate really well to reviewing the products and things we buy. So check back soon and often for discussions around innovative products from Onion Goggles to iPhone apps and the coolest paint roller you have ever seen.
