Lifenote Personal Tablet
Now I can tell one of the announcements I mentioned at the end of 2008.
Lifenote is an innovative technology development company based in Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 2008 by two UCLA graduates who dreamed of a world free from paper clutter, and a learning environment that is more intuitive, productive, and collaborative.
They approached me for help in 3D molding last year, and I helped out mainly with the 3D mock designs, initial modeling and rendering of the Lifenote Personal Tablet, which is specialized for digital writing and viewing electronic documents. They were in CES 2009 to introduce this tablet as well as other great products, so some of you who visited CES might have known it already.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun creating mock designs of a REAL gadget. I hope I can do it again.

Desktop Calendar Wallpaper: Jan&Feb 2009
Thank you very much for so many requests for a new desktop wallpaper. Sorry it took so long. Hope you like it.
Glass Pencil Sharpner
It’s a small pencil sharpner made of glass.
The converging lens at the top gives you a good look at how much the pencil has been sharpened.
And wouldn’t it be fun if the pencil crumbs looked floating in the air? Some people make even art out of pencil crumbs, so I think keeping them nicely would be much better than disposing right after the pencil is sharpened.

Future Mobile Music Concept
Connect yourself with the outside world
Perfect music on the perfect spot at the perfect time
Body
Wear it around your wrist, just like a watch. It also works as a watch.
By default, it’s transparent, but when you want to make it stand out, just change the colors/patterns or use your favorite photo on the background.
The lucent screens are flexible to be transformed to a device you can put in your pocket.
Earphones
It changes your ears a concert hall.
Built-in microphone detects your voice (and humming).
Hear beat can also be detected with the built-in censor.
Sync with your mobile phone when you talk to someone on the phone
(Humming search technology is already available, I guess.)

Teko
Happy new year! Sorry for the slow update. I’ve been really sick for more than a week.
Teko is a Japanese word for “lever”. A small lever on the chopstick works as a chopstick stand so that the front end doesn’t touch the table. Also, it helps the chopsticks stick to each other. (Is this already used somewhere?)
Next one will be a wallpaper calendar for January.
