Nintendo had mentioned that the 3DS set a day-one US sales record, and now we have some actual numbers. Looks like 400,000 3DS units were sold in the month of March. The DS’ overall March sales totaled 460,000. Remember the 3DS launched at the end of march, so this is one weeks sales.

Posted in Apparel by Conner Flynn on October 6th, 2010

Forget alarm clocks. Dream Jammies will shake you awake. Alexander Reeder’s technologically enhanced pajamas are connected by a series of wires to an iPhone App that allows you to get shaken awake by someone connected to the other side. No matter how far away they may be.

The Dream Jammies are pretty ugly, but they are fitted with motion sensors that can tell whether the wearer is standing up, laying down or tossing and turning. The information is transmitted to their partner’s iPhone which indicates restful or restlessness via a colorful screen. If one partner shakes their iPhone, it wakes their sleeping partner.

Annoying alarm clock throws a ball at you

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on September 27th, 2010

Alarm clocks are far too easy to turn off, defeating the purpose of an alarm. Just hit the button and go back to sleep. But with the Aphelion clock concept, you will wake up annoyed. It forces you to retrieve the ball that it just threw at you, so you can put it back in its holder to activate the snooze function.

The other features are pretty standard. There’s a radio and MP3 player input, and a large display. Depending on how heavy the ball is, it may just put you back to sleep. Permanently.

Order in Chaos clock is hard to read and cool at the same time

Posted in Clocks by Shane McGlaun on September 27th, 2010

We have seen our share of strange clocks around there and typically, when we are talking timepieces they are wristwatches from Tokyoflash or some similar purveyor of odd watches. This wall clock is from a designer that was looking to make a statement about the order in chaos.

The clock has the numbers you expect to see around the clock face, but those numbers are broken into bits. As the hour gets closer, the numbers slowly take more from until you can read them. The single hand in the center of the clock is for minutes.

This Nixie tube clock has some four-letter words for you

Posted in Clocks by Conner Flynn on August 29th, 2010

We love retro-style nixie tube clocks around here, but this one is unique. It has a special function that allows it to show words on its display. And yes, since its a four letter display, that’s going to mean a lot of dirty words.

This was designed by Pete Hand. The four letter word generator displays random words, changing the word every few seconds. It has 5,400 words in its dictionary you bad words should be kept to a minimum. Sadly.

verTick Wall Clock concept

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on May 3rd, 2010

Clocks are all pretty much the same. Square, round, rectangular. verTick is an unusual and interesting clock, operating with sticks and numbers instead of a digital readout or hands.

The middle of the clock has an aluminum section with windows. The sticks move up and down on motors to put the right number in the windows to display the time. The sticks just go up and down.
