The above cube is a concept design inspired to let you concentrate on whatever element of life you are engaged in without being harassed by one of the many different ways people can get in touch with you in a near real time way. This concept is called, simply enough, Tame.

The idea of Tame is create a central status message which is “synced with all of your devices and applications. If you’re driving or need some privacy, you can tell Tame to handle auto-responses to your phone, IM, text, Facebook, and more.” Each face stores a specific message and you can rotate the cube to the desired face for the message you want all to see (i.e. I’m busy right now butthead, try again later or I’m currently having sex…take a hike).

Tame also has a color coding system to let people know “at a glance” if you are available. You can use online software to customize this. It really is a cool design if you think about it, as long as your baby doesn’t get a hold of it thinking it is a toy block and chewing on it.
