Real-World Folder Sorting
In the REAL world, I usually name the folder with a large title. Of course I choose a typeface for the title and a folder color.
When I have multiple compartments in the folder, put the titles on the tags.
If I have many items in one folder, I add an index on it. Yeah, usually.

Mac Morph?
What amazed me most about the Morph concept by Nokia is that it came from Nokia itself, not by a daydreaming designer like me, meaning it’s quite promising.
I really like the material that is flexible enough to change its form. If that’s really possible,
first it could be used as a display,
second, fold it half and it could be used as a macbook pro,
and for some more other purposes,
it would be useful to read like a magazine,
and if it could be folded a few times, it could be an ipod.
Oh, am I daydreaming again?

Bookshelf for Super-Lazy People #2
Thought up this idea an hour ago and quickly drew it, so I’m skipping details.
It’s actually not as simple as it looks in terms of the structure I found, so many of you will notice what I omitted, but I hope you get the concept.
While the long bookshelf moves from side to side, the handle part doesn’t. Choose a small bookshelf and pull the bar down, and it comes down on the desk.
So here you can be lazy again, take and put back the books while you’re sitting at the desk.

Future of Mobile Internet Search: Applications
I think the following ideas should enhance the functionality of the device I introduced. Many applications like these will be developed that have never been possible.
Indoor guide
Works in a building, airport, station, hospital, etc.
Automatic simultaneous translation
Search keyword
Helpful when you want to find out a word from a lot of text

Turn your iPhone into a desktop
I was amazed to see how Microsoft’s Play Anywhere works!
That technology could also be applied to something like this, I guess.

iCal Watch
It’s a half digital version of the idea I posted before. This time, input your schedule in iCal and send it to this watch using bluetooth.
No MP3 player or any other iPod-like functions.

Bookshelves for Super-Lazy People (like me)
My desk is always messed with unfinished books and magazines that I think I’ll need soon again, which my wife is always complaining about.
These are for people who feel even bothered just to stand up from your chair, grab the mess and put it away.
This book hanger works as a bookmark, too. When you don’t need the books, just slide them under the desk and everything looks neat!
Slide a tab to the other end and a part of the floor flips up so that the book goes down to a selected shelf.
Throw books in the box and put it back in the bookshelf. Easy!

Future of Internet Search: Mobile version
(Followed by a previous post “Future of Internet Search“)
This is what I wish the internet search will be able to do with a mobile device in the NEAR future. Touch screen, built in camera, scanner, WiFi, google map (hopefully google earth), google search, image search… all in one device. Like this way, when you can see a building through it, it gives you the image search result right on the spot.
Choose a building and touch a floor and it tells you more details of the building.
Well, it doesn’t have to be a building, but it can be any object you see. You can use it when you want to know a car model, an insect name, what kind of food is served at a restaurant and how much, who built a bridge, etc. etc. But as a designer myself, I hope it’s able to tell me a name of a font of the type I see, the size, color (in RGB), and so on.
It’s got a scanner built in, so you can use it this way when you want to check the meaning of a word in the newspaper, book, magazine, etc.
It would be much easier to read a real book. You can use the dictionary, wikipedia, thesaurus and anything else available on the web. What do you think?
I won the red dot design concept award for this.

Don’t know why, but there seem to be a lot of people who have downloaded the calendar of this design. I’m very happy to see it. Thank all of you for your interest.So I upload a new one that I thought I would use for the next month. Maybe I’ll make one more with this building from another angle a little later.(I did below.)
Looking forward to your comment!
