With the Christmas feeling still in the air….we thought of showing you the largest Santa formed of ice. Sculpted meticulously he measures 160m in width and 24m in height. Harbin, a city of China boasts of this wonderful, gigantic figure. The sculpture is complete with beard and hat. Santa’s sure laughing all the way!!!
Tic-Tac-Toe……school days’ notebooks might have been filled with ample such gridded crosses and circles in an attempt to outwit your friends. Remembering our sweet golden memories we have our very own Tic-Tac-Toe with a new touch. The rules remain the same but now it’s pick and drop the semicircular rings and the V’s. Interesting use of symmetrical figures by designer Shahar Peleg, an illusion created by the real and virtual.
Today residential buildings are designed to be unique. More the design, higher is the price. But the picture of the building shown above is not exactly a “today’s” building. It is the “Nakagin Capsule Tower” in Japan. Built in 1970 by late Japanese architect Kurokawa Kisho, this building consists of 14 floors and is composed of 140 individual capsules designed to be either apartments or business offices.
We have written quite a few times on Rubik’s cube in the past. Different concepts and different colors. Here comes a new one especially for the Simpsons fans. The Simpsons Rubik actually comes with Homer’s head. You need to twist the different parts and make his head “complete”. We doubt it will have the same complexity as the original Rubik’s cube, still, for Homer fans this little gadget may be priceless.
Is that a last minute mail for Santa?…… Sure it does reach him. Beside the lighted Christmas tree he’s busy reading all of them from around the world. Reindeers are ready too for delivery of the wrapped parcels.
Thinking of furniture, by default brings our focus on wood, although today it involves many diverse materials. Our friendly trees had been associated with whatever you can think of…..desks, tables, chairs, beds etc…be it an utility or a piece of decor.
Earlier we had seen the different forms of Rubik’s cubes. The goal was to rotate the segments horizontally and vertically to rearrange the jumbled up colored looking cubes. What we have here is a similar form of the puzzle, but with an assortment of rectangular parallelepipeds. There’s no variety of colors for a change as well. Definitely looks like another gripping brain teaser to warm you up this winter.
This thing may be just too good to be true. It seems that the iPhone case manufacturer XSKN has now a new section on their website called “iPhone Nano”. Ofcourse, this does not guarantee the existence of this device, it sure raises our hopes.
