I stumbled across this one this morning.
Is it a car? Is it a bike? You decide.
Either way it’s a exciting if not the most practical design.
The ‘Top Gear’ guys always do a great job in their reviews, so if you have time this one is certainly worth the watch.

Here’s another unusual building design which I found really funny.
The ‘Toilet House’ was built by Sim Jae-duck, who is the chairman of the organizing committee of the Inaugural General Assembly of the World Toilet Association. Too Funny.
As of November 11 the ‘Toilet House’ will actually be open to the public to coincide with the launch of the World Toilet Association.
Even though the design represents one of the least attractive areas of the home – this housing design actually looks very attractive from the ground.
Check out the other pics and the full story here.

They are calling it the ‘Fat Nano’.
In actual fact, this is one of the slimmest ipods on the market. But from the front you’d never know.
Unfortunately, Apple has made the decision to keep the click wheel on this latest rendition, rather than moving forward with the touch screen from the iphone and now itouch (which I have to admit, I’m very impressed with).
The real problem I see with this new design is the unused real estate on the left and right of the navigation wheel. While ‘white space’ is often a good thing in design, the ‘white space’ used here only exaggerates how small the screen really is. I’m sure the reason for using the click wheel rather than touch screen was a financial one, but I can’t see that this new design has done anything to advance Apples reputation for producing excellent design work.
Normally I could very well be considered an Apple fan boy. Not in this case though.
Others may see benefits that I don’t with this new ipod, but I won’t be among the chubby chasers that purchase this item.
