Created by Chao & Eero Jewel, the smiley face ring is what would be deemed a neutral fashion accessory. It caters to neither sexes but fits both male and female wearers.

Since pillows and mattresses are just boring, it falls upon designers to reinvent the medium, so to speak. Seen bellow is a full moon being slept on by a model. It’s not a camera trick or some artist’s fevered vision. It’s a collaborative project between Lili Suh and Chin Wei Loon.

The whole idea of this project called ‘bloon’ is to make pseudo-space flight a little more exciting adventure without the attendant hardware, i.e. Virgin Galactic.

In a nutshell, the very same agency that builds all sorts of high tech weapons wants to outsource innovation to a startup. How will that work? See, DARPA and NASA have this 100 Year Starship initiative whose ultimate goal is to begin the process of interstellar travel. Note: ‘to begin the process.’ As far as we know, DARPA doesn’t have any idea where in the galaxy a starship should begin looking for a habitable world. Also, they think forking the problem to a willing band of adventurers is a good idea. Well, so do we.
