Microsoft’s Courier.






The Courier seems to be a bit a smaller than anticipated. these new picture really puts it into perspective It would seem that more work has been done to ensure mobility. rather than only  Windows 7,  it the runs on the same OS as the Zune HD, Pink, and Windows Mobile 7 Series.

The stakes are high, as this year seems to be the explosion of Tablets. I would offer that this would seem to be the gadget of choice. Why? Because you can protect it, it closes on it’s self, less chances of pulling your tablet out of your designer handbag, and it having  a cracked screen. Which in turn means cracked face.

Lomo Kompakt




This camera was discovered by two students in Vienna, Austria,  The Lomo Kompakt Automat, was at the time produced in Russia. After a bit of experimentation they developed a certain style that acquired for them fans, all over the world. Thus prompting them to make a deal with the manufacturer’s of the camera in St. Petersburg. That was in the nineties. Well it would seem that they or too many people got a bit too excited that they decided to make this latest edition dipped in gold. Anyway this edition is of course limited, only 130 pieces have been made, for the  price of 600 Dollars. If I were wearing a a suit made of the Burberry pattern, with the matching shirt and tie,  in addition to which a hat with said pattern. Sitting in the Hall of mirrors at  the Palace of Versailles, drinking tea, taking pictures of my shoes. Would it be a bit much?

Rolls Royce.


The thing that BMW, never quite understood about said car, is that it was not made to drive on the autobahn. Rather for cultivated small towns (Mapp and Lucia). This Silver Cloud I 1957 Drophead Coupéis is for sale. Only 296,852 Euros. I’m sure that Mrs Beckham has one of those Hermes bag’s that matches this baby. OK someone offer her a sandwich, and grab the bag…………….

Tape!!!!!


For those looking for a bit of nostalgia, a clock recycled from a magnetic tape reel. Funny thing is in a few years those of us that are of Generation X will soon have to explain what the hell it was used for. I would have preferred if some of the tape was a bit unravelled, which I am sure  should be possible.

In der März-Ausgabe der brandeins.de die sich dem Schwerpunktthema Logistik “Die Problemlöser!” beschäftigt, lass ich eine Geschichte einer fazinierenden Idee und ihres Urhebers Simon Berry, der 1988 als Entwicklungshelfer im Nordosten Sambias unterwegs war, als ihm beim Anblick einer Limonaden-Flasche eine lebensrettende Idee kam.

Wie kann man Medikamente und Hilfsgüter in entlegene Regionen transportieren?  In Coca-Cola-Kästen, war die Antwort.
