THE COLLAPSIBLE COLANDER
This is a new product from those wonderful people who gave us the collapsible funnel we presented a while back. In case you missed it, here is a link. They have made a strainer or colander using the same basic idea. Excellent for people on the move, or if you simply do not have a lot of room in your kitchen drawers. We found our in the shop at the Danish art museum Louisiana in Humlebæk just north of Copenhagen. We are sure it will hit a store near you before long.


SMARTEST LUNCH BOX.
As our regular readers might have noticed, we like stuff that saves, makes or utilizes unused space. We happen to think that space is the most valuable commodity in modern living. That is why we were so happy to find the smart collapsible funnel from Danish design firm Normann and a bit later the equally smart colapsible colander from the same place. Now, thanks to fellow blogger Husmusen, we have found the next smart invention. It is the collapsible lunch box from Tupperware. It is called Mini Max and evidently it is one in a series of boxes with the same clever function. Available in two sizes. The 7 dl (23 fl.oz.) is SEK 89:- (about USD 11:-) and the 9,5 dl (32 fl.oz) is SEK 99:- (about USD 12:-). Tupperware http://www.tupperware.dk/Sweden/today/32.html


FOR THOSE WHO ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT CB RADIOS WHEN YOUNG.... THEY ARE CHEAP NOW!


Sharp Intros Tiny Camera Module How much a smaller can a video camera get? Apparently, tinier than a ladybug. Sharp introduced the LZ0P396D, a CCD camera module destined for mobile phones that will be used as a secondary camera capable of 30fps video. The company plans to start mass producing them in April, and each module will be $10. Beyond that, what a great marketing concept to picture the little sucker next to a ladybug. Neat stuff.
