The
Perch ($180) is a classy and sleek designed portable wireless speaker that's designed for use with mobile media. This two-piece speaker/dock features Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming, a magnetic charger built into the dock, which also has a tray for charging your smartphone or media player. It also has built-in digital clock with alarm function, and an integrated microphone for conference calls or video calls. The Perch also has a hinge on the backside so you can prop the speaker up in the portrait mode.
This Perch is currently in presale status on
Quirky. Once it's quota is reached it will then be put into production. Quirky is a site where an idea can become a reality. I would love to explain it to you but I think the video below will do a better job then me. So if you have an idea
join Quirky and you can have your idea become a reality like this product.
We know that we spend much of our time online or at least I do. So have you ever wondered how the internet sees you? Well now you can with
Personas. So I'm sure your asking how. Here is how it works. Go to the
Personas website and enter your full name and it crawls the web for everything that has to do with you. Then it visually shows you in each stage of the analysis and finally resulting in the presentation of a seemingly authoritative personal profile. Give it a try. I thought this was a pretty cool site.
It has been some time since I have done anything related to web design. So let me get started then and give you some different image gallery options to use on your website. jQuery image galleries and sliders are very common on adding to your portfolio sites and are also useful for any other type of site for displaying images and photos. They also provide a better user experience and make viewing images easier and more stylish to your website.
So being in the spirit of the almighty Monday. I have found a couple of JQuery image sliders and galleries plugins that can give your galleries a much needed stylish look to go with that stylish website.

I'm always on the look out for new artists and designers that catch my attention.
Drew Rois is one of those artist that caught my attention with his collection of
Space Posters. He started a little studio called
Rokk Hard which he states is a amalgamation of two very different genres of music; Metal and Disco. With powerful visual hailing from both genres, they are inseparable in my mind, and this is what drives my work.
What I like about his space poster collections is that what seems to be a simple design can really be seen as a multitude of layers which comprises to make a modern simple look. I would have to say though my favorite one is the Astroknot posters with its vintage style look and its great choice of colors to match the style in which he was going for. It's like looking at a rip in the universe and you only get a strange glimpse of Earth. (Sorry had to geek out for a minute). If you want to check out more of his work or follow him on his social networks check out his
