Hidden Radio is a Radio without Buttons!

Here’s a cool Hidden Radio that works by pushing and twisting instead of all those annoying buttons.

Designed by Australian John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen, this concept model of Hidden Radio is rather unique. It is completely button-less, requiring you to twist, lift or push it instead to manipulate the volume. The radio also comes with a LED light that will glow brightly/dimmer depending on the current signal strength

Here’s a cool eco-friendly radio that can be charged by cranking or via the UV-rays.

This radio has its own rechargeable batteries, these can be charged by using the solar panel, but if this is not available for any reason, but if the sun low or you were in a shaded area, then solar would not work. Luckily it has a hand cranking device which can charge up the batteries using the internal dynamo.

This cute little carton of milk looks all the part of what it should be, but upon closer inspection its true identity is discovered.

It’s a funny idea, but as you look at it, you get the feely that it would look good in the kitchen as a back up radio or just for display.

This seems to be an obsession with designers and companies to create items that look like one thing, but actually turn out to be something completely different, or something that you would not really expect it to be, that is the fun of these types of gadgets.

Though it has to be said about this piece the actual radio is probably not as good as the design of them milk carton itself, well you cannot have everything I suppose.

You can see this Mini Cooper Billboard in San Francisco on your way towards Bay Bridge. I guess this is actually RFID enabled which is kinda cool. Yes, it’s a very effective way of advertising as I do read it about 75% of the time that I pass by this spot looking for changes in what the Mini Cooper is saying… (mostly kinda stupid… one time it was saying something like “Be small and Go faster” or something) But it is indeed very creative. I don’t know if it actually can identify Mini drivers but I will try to see if the sign changes next time I see a Mini in front of me… (and take a video of course!)

The boards, which usually carry typical advertising, are programmed to identify approaching Mini drivers through a coded signal from a radio chip embedded in their key fob. The messages are personal, based on questionnaires that owners filled out: “Mary, moving at the speed of justice,” if Mary is a lawyer, or “Mike, the special of the day is speed,” if Mike is a chef.

Wow check out this Wifi CAN TV. Here’s a way you can make your own WiFi video station. This

“In the village of Bourem Inaly, Mali there are over 120 television sets powered by 12-volt car batteries, but there is almost nothing to watch. With its CanTV project, Geekcorps has helped the local radio station stream video content to the local community over WiFi. The radio station, which rents these units out, benefits from a new monthly revenue stream while the villagers benefit with an improved source of news and entertainment.

One goal of the CanTV project is to make it possible to build the CanTV receivers or TV cantennas (antennas built with cans) using locally using locally available parts, with the exception of the $25 audio/video receiver currently imported from Canada. Also, the TV cantennas have been designed so that a local technician can quickly learn how to install them without special tools. The radio station already has access to television broadcasts via satellite, and a TV over WiFi transmitter installed in August 2005 by Moussa Keita of Geekcorps.”
