Once in a while someone decides to break all conventions and think “outside the box”, in other words, forget what is done so far and assumed as “normal” and create something new, beautifull and usefull.

Designer Julia Burke did this and won a silver medal from Idea Awards, with her Plug-In design which avoids you bending down to insert a device into the power outlet and looking plain stupid with your arse up.

Anyway, look at the full info at PLUG-IN - Why Weren’t They Designed Like This In The First Place? (oh Gizmo).

I never thought I would *ever* write about Pokemons in my journal, oh well, there’s always a first time.

Nintendo (europe) created a site where you can check what Pokemon are you based on your personality! You just have to answer a few questions and off you go.

It seems I’m a MudKip, anyway I don’t know much about Pokemon so I don’t know if it’s the most powerfull one out there but by the look of the little critter, it seems more like it to be the cute one who gets beat up every episode. *sigh*

Anyway, to discover what Pokemon you are head over to Pokemon personality test.
Some comments would be nice, which Pokemon are you?

When I was a kid I loved to fill my room with posters, I guess most kids liked too, of course there came a time when I was “invited” by my parents to get rid of all that paper hanging in the walls (some in a very bad state) but If now I could have space to put posters I would surely like to include the following ones.

It seems that RetroBlast held a contest to create inspirational posters based on videogames, Pinball and Arcade machines. Some entries are very good, I particulary like the Adversity poster based on gauntlet , Chalenge is also very nice, as well as Good Will.
Anyway, see the complete gallery at RetroBlast.
