GoLite Chrome Dome Umbrella
Joseph: Solid. Well designed. I like it.
iPhone Games
Joseph: Flight Control is simple and complex simultaneously. I really enjoy it. Wish I could set aircraft at multiple altitudes.
Dan: Paper Toss is a classic addictive game. Before you know it you’ve been playing for 20 minutes… Is that good or bad?
HANDy Pail
Dan: I started with an $.89 container & thought it was a great solution… The Handy Pail is innovative and worth the $$. It changed how I paint
Joseph: The HANDy Pail is a great tool. I use it all the time. Get one if you’re going to paint.
Onion Goggles
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!
IDEO Method Cards
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.
