I've touched on USB bracelets before — remember the brightly colored USB flash drives? Well designer Laurent Hongisto has designed these Lisco USB Snake bracelets that are similar to the colorful ones, yet they are much more geek chic and actually wearable. You can just pull them out of your USB port and slap them on your wrist, making it easy to access files while on the go.

It's a known fact that I spend more time online than almost anything else (other than sleeping I suppose), so it's only natural that my feeble attempts at keeping houseplants alive rarely succeed, and they die within a month. The only plant I've been able to keep alive for longer is my iGrobot, and that's because it sits on my desk at work, reminding me to water it! Sad, right?

I'm stoked about the future of technology and design, because I'm witnessing products now that look like my favorite futuristic movies that I watched back in the day! From sleek cell phones to high tech beds to lounge on, concept design is becoming an obsession of mine. Although this little gadget performs a well known function, you might not be able to tell by its design.

This concept designed "Mooon" phone by Sunman Kwon certainly isn't one of those wacky "out-there" tech designs. With touchscreen, a digital camera, and built-in bluetooth headset, I can totally imagine this phone someday being the real deal. Although it may look like a PSP gaming device, the Mooon, which was featured on Yanko Design, is said to be described by the designer as a "innovative communication device."

I hardly ever hear about phones made out of anything besides plastic or glass, so whenever a device fashioned out of an experimental material pops up I take notice. This colorful SaY phone makes the cut for being innovative because its body is covered in brightly colored rubber. The back of the phone features a four megapixel camera and stereo speakers.

Remember the concept for the tiny clip-inspired portable music player that supports CD and MP3 files?
Turns out there is a pretty similar concept out there by designer Yeon-shin Seung that plays DVDs. You insert your DVD the same way you would on the CD and MP3 player, but a little display pops up to reveal your content.

We've seen a lot of wacky concepts, but Timo Wong's CELLS phone deserves special recognition for its unusual inspiration and tactile body. The design of the phone looks a lot like the contours of a typical fruit tray and the number keys are separated by alternating contours on one single surface. It reminds me of a quilted Marc Jacobs bag, so naturally, I love it.

You know something is cutting edge when it comes to your attention twice in less than 12 hours. Both geeksugar and sugar user tdamji are into this blending of uber contemporary technology and the ancient practice of yoga.
Designer Hui-Zong Chen has conceived of a yoga mat, made of an electronic paper screen that unfurls from a metal tube that is a stereo with cute little speakers housed at each end.
