Mr. T Tape Dispenser

The title can’t say it any better. The following tape dispensers inject undiluted fun, humor, unexpectedness into that everyday object you have lying on your desk, although rarely used and hardly noticed, still takes up quite a chunk of real estate on your desk. In the tape dispenser above, MR. T has a new job, instead of illuminating the room with a lampshade on his head ( controllable by his not-so-private private parts ), he’s now attempting to do sit-ups taping the inside of his mouth to his feet. You can help exercise your tape and Mr.T by pulling the tape from his mouth to his feet.

Cassette Tape Dispenser

The 80’s are back. Who ever said that tape cassettes are a dying form, sure didn’t expect their return in a much more utilitarian tape dispensers. Not only are these mementos from the 80’s way retro cool, they are sure to make you want to groove to the rhythm of the 80’s and the rhythm of your tape, the sticky kind.

Karate Kid Tape Dispenser

I would watch my hands if I were to pull a piece of tape from this tape dispenser. There is a karate kid guarding the territory. This sure makes the process of pulling out tape a much more adventurous process!

USB Tape Dispenser

This has to be the coolest USB gadget after…?@! Actually, I have yet to see an uncool USB gadget. Now, the question remains, does the rotating of the tape in anyway powers the dispenser, which in turn powers USB devices attached to it?

Automatic Tape Dispenser

This tape dispenser will automatically dispenses tape at the click of a button. Sigh, our society’s advance in modern technology has certainly improved our living and working standards. However, am not sure if this tape dispenser actually streamlines the entire process of dispensing tapes, or just complicate our lives slight more at the end of the day?

Brought to you by the same people who recently mesmerized the world with their ultra portable and affordable Eee PC, Asus recently again proved to be the trendsetter among the conceptually-challenged PC industry by launching a super stylish, yet environmentally friendly laptop, the Asus bamboo laptop. The laptop’s case is covered in bamboo, a rapidly sustainable material, because cut bamboo can be easily grown back in a short time, versus other hardwood trees that require numerous more years to be renewed. The most eco friendly aspect of this laptop doesn’t just exist in their exterior shell, the real show is on the inside. All of the plastic in this eco laptop is labeled and recyclable; it is lined with cardboard; there are no paints, sprays or even electroplating used on its components. It looks like it is designed to be easily taken apart for self-service and easy upgrading of components ( one of the main downfalls of notebooks and reason why people upgrade their notebooks. This laptop is scheduled for release sometimes later 2008.

Swedish designer Peter Thuvander has designed an induction-powered yo-yo charger for iPhones and other Apple handheld devices.  Housing a lithium ion cell, and based on this, Peter is betting that the physics are close to there.

“The remote control needs only 30 cranks–which is nothing when you yo-yo,” argues Peter. He’s also thinking about what road warriors call “opportunitic charging”: “I think I’d at least use it as an emergency device for all the dead iPhone moments I have.”

Another great green gadget from a witty designer who claims that he invented the iYO because “solarchargers don´t work at night or in Sweden half the year, this should be a smash hit.” Hopefully, it will catch on!

Remember the days when office supplies were just another bland tool for the office, their utilitarian existence could trouble you less to their state of well-being unless they were seriously distorted, maimed, or missing? Well, things might have changed for the office supplies industry. Certain prominent members of the office supplies family have made it into mainstream pop culture to become the indispensable heart and soul of budding artists, becoming the essential medium of expressiveness for which without, the art looses its impact.
