Elizabowl

The image you see above is called the Elizabowl, FIRST PLACE winner of the International Housewares Association's 2008 Student Design Competition.

For over 15 years now, there have been a nationwide contest that encourages and recognizes the unique creativity of young industrial designers. There one-of-a-kind innovations
and creations may appear in your own home someday soon.

Here's the complete article that describes the creation above, who made it, how and why it was made.

"Everybody knows, thanks to an old cliché, that one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch. But never before has anyone offered such a thoughtful solution as Sarah O'Brien, a senior at the University of Louisiana.

O'Brien took first place in the 2008 Student Design Competition for her Elizabowl, an interlaced system of pockets that blossoms to accommodate the amount of fruit on hand. "Because each piece is kept in a separate container, if one piece starts to go bad it can't have that chemical conversation with neighboring fruit telling them to go bad," explains O'Brien.

Elizabowl demonstrates O'Brien's keen sense for industrial design and also her appreciation for history: Her invention is named for its similarity to collars worn during the Elizabethan period."

How to Choose a Future-Proof Video Camera

Camcorder are indeed changing very fast. In a blink of an eye, we sometimes don't realize that own is already left behind. In order for us to ensure that your video memories will stand the test of time, here's a simple guide on how to pick the right camera for you.

I once read an article in MSN Tech and Gadgets that a future-proof video camera can be best purchased when you follow this three key guidelines:
  • Buy the best image quality you can afford
  • Capture in a widely supported format
  • Use a long-term storage medium
According to the article, "no single camcorder have been tested performs ideally in all of these criteria, but keeping these demands in mind helps narrow the field to a manageable number of cameras. To get the highest image quality (and full-quality playback on that spanking-new HDTV you bought) you should be thinking HD. There are two main high-definition video formats in consumer camcorders: HDV, which came out in 2004 and uses the same kind of MiniDV tape cassettes as the original (and hugely successful) standard-def DV format; and AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition), a still-maturing format that first appeared in mid-2006 and can be recorded to DVD, hard disk or flash memory."
