Flo Rida – Good feeling

This is, personally an amazing music video, probably one of my all time favourites. Not only is the song very catchy, bouncy and makes you want to move but the video is very tech heavy and we get to see what someone like Flo Rida use’s all these different bits of kit for. The video includes super cars, some very cool looking exercise equipment and some fashionable clothing.

5 baby products I couldnt live without

The top 5 baby products I couldn’t live without

I really wanted to write a quick review on the top 5 baby products that I currently own. Seeing as my son was born just over a week ago, I was hoping to provide some basic advice. Now I must say thanks to some of these products some of my greatest fears have been laid to rest. The bottle steriliser that only requires 90ml of water and 4 minutes in the microwave and the baby monitor that displays the baby’s body temperature, and heart rate. Here are just a few amazing pieces of baby kit that I think all parents should consider investing in.

Ok, so here is one of the most convenient pieces of baby kit that I own. The Tommy Tippee bottles and steriliser is ideal for those who don’t have a great deal of time on their hands. Once all the bottles are clean, you simply pour 90ml of water into the main body, place the lid back on and insert into your microwave for 4 minutes. You should allow an extra minute to allow the steam to escape from the vents which are located in the centre of the lid, before extracting one of the bottles. The inside of the steriliser includes the base and a removable tray which house's four bottle shaped grooves to place the bottles and a further four stantions with grooves for fitting either dummies or the teets. All in all this is a very good product that I rate 10/10. The bottles are durable, and it’s all very easy to clean and to use. I recommend to all.

 

Now this is simply an amazing piece of kit, one of my very good friends bought this as a baby present for me. This is the Angel Care Sound and movement monitor, which also tells you your baby’s heart rate and body temperature. It has the ability to monitor the sound made by your infant and will alarm if it picks up any irregularities. The pad itself should be placed underneath the Childs sheets and mattress on a hard rigid surface. The pad is attached to the nursery unit which the odd looking triangular shaped gadget pictured above. It is here you can set the sensitivity of the pad and the transmission of sound is received. Now, in my bedroom we have the pad and the nursery unit placed at the bottom of the bed and the receiver unit placed at the head. The receiver unit displays temperature, heart rate and volume; this is also where the alarm, should anything go wrong goes off.

Industrial Product Design : Future Products 5

Remote Control Flying Cat

Why - because we are a nation of animal lovers and this will freak out the neighbours- that is what would make this a winning product. Its so cat like. I mean looks like a real flying cat.

How to stop cats pooing in your garden..the list goes on.

The Audio High Top Sneaker

 

This was so futuristic in concept as CD's were still in use. Note the speaker positions and teeters will make this a less comfortable shoe to wear. It probably didn't make it past Photoshop. Imagine how annoying you could be on the metro with this !

Tiny Small Video Camera or Telescope

Its not clear if this is telescopic or not and that copy says 8x Super not BE Super. I like the latter. A useful size but would need a design to attach to to free up your hand.

If you are a cyclist, then you will understand the importance of wearing a helmet. They aren't made for fun, they are made for safety. Fun can be incorporated of course, but the point is that they are designed and created for a reason, which should be taken seriously as they can save lives.

Prices can be really high, but the reality is that the cheaper options are usually the more beneficial in terms of safety. The expense comes from more detail in design in aspects like comfort and keeping your head cool.

Traditional helmets are the most commonly seen helmets. They come is a great variety of designs, colours, and have a number of vents. Most helmets should be fine in terms of safety, but finding a supplier that has customer reviews and that specialised in cycling equipment gives that little extra piece of mind. Traditional cycling helmetscycling helmets are used by keen cyclists, those cycling to work, and those cycling for fun.

 There are road cycling helmets too, which are exactly what you expect; they are designed specifically for road cyclists. These are designed to be lighter and more minimalist, but traditional helmets are suitable for the road as well so this might come down to a design choice depending on how often you plan to cycle.

Concept Gadgets

Concept Gadgets

So here is another look at some outlandish concept designs of some "would be" gadgets and technology. I believe it’s important for us as the consumer to discuss what we want from the big manufacturers so that we push tech to new limits and achieve greatness. I mean, I want to see a completely robust and waterproof smart phone with solar re-gen technology installed to re-charge. I want to play with a remote controlled tank that can do everything a real tank can do. I’m sure some people would want a toilet that cleans itself or parents wanting a pram or a bouncer that monitors the baby heartbeat and temperature, that alarms when any abnormalities are detected. Alas, Let me digress, I want to show you some designs that have been shown to me in the last few days that I’m just dying to speculate on.

Keeping up with the newest Kardashian

So Kimye is pregnant.  A very elated Kanye West broke the news at a concert a couple days before the New Year. So "big up my baby mama" may be a little different from what the rest of Kardashian clan may be accustomed to, but the announcement has the entire family elated. Team Kardashian shared their excitement on twitter and it seems Kim and Kanye have their full support.

So with all the excitement Kimye is now hounded by the paparazzi everywhere they go. Not to say they weren't before, just with the pregnancy announcement its amplified to the highest level.

 

Speculation with regards to the sex of the baby has already begun. A very excited Kim announced she would be happy no matter what sex the baby is, and just wants to focus on having a good pregnancy and healthy child. She does admit to craving certain vegetables but otherwise is keeping well.

Surrounding this exciting news is the possibility of legal problems due to the fact that Kim is technically still married to Kris Humphries. We wait and see what implications baby will have on their long drawn out divorce battle.

Regardless of the circumstance of this pregnancy, the world awaits impatiently for the newest Kardashian. So much so that it seems as if Kim has stolen the shine from Kate Middleton. Quite frankly Kardashians are American royalty like them or not. So watch out world, keeping up with the Kardashians is getting that much harder. Boy or girl this baby will be born into the lap of luxury, with the parents like Kimye.
