Hasta La Ideas

YD has recently moved from a virtual office setup to an actual office setup. As design advocates we had to reflect modern design in our office, so we got our team Apple gear. New iMac, iPad mini…the whole nine yards! We teamed our mouse with expensive aluminum mouse pads, only to realize that expensive doesn’t mean quality. Yes, our Magic Mouse is now ruined, too bad we found out about Fliders so late!

Having said that, I don’t think it’s too late for you to save your mouse feet! Get one now this festive season or gift it to your loved ones. Let me elaborate a bit more on what Fliders can do for your Apple Magic Mouse (or any other Optical Mouse).

• They protect both the bottom of your mouse and your desk from scratches.
• You can ditch your mouse pad and use your entire desktop as a mouse pad instead!
• They provide a smooth and quiet mousing experience.
• Fliders are an inexpensive, replaceable solution to worn mouse feet. Out goes our expensive Aluminum Designer Mouse Pad!
• Adding Fliders improve tracking by minimizing the collection of sticky residue that makes your mouse sticky.
• They work for any optical mouse and not just the Apple Magic Mouse.
• Ideal for gamers, graphic designers, musicians and anyone who uses a mouse.

As a kind Christmas Gesture, Fliders is giving YD’ers an exclusive promo offer.

Skateboarding is cool, but, unfortunately, protective gear like knee pads and helmets just aren’t! They lack aesthetic appeal and are often too difficult and time consuming to put on… causing many to avoid protecting their body at all. The PLEXUS collection of gear finds safety, flexibility, ventilation, performance and cool looks in an intricate voronoi web that adapts to the wearers movement. Who would’ve guessed that the application of this simple pattern would be such a huge improvement!

While many folding helmets are designed with a number of complex hard-folds from front to back, this twist on the safety solution is collapsible down the middle. An origami-like system of honeycomb folds compress from left to right, making it just slightly wider than a medium-size book and slim enough to carry in a backpack with room to spare. Simply stretch it out to the appropriate size and throw it on to protect your noggin!

Accidents in speed skating are dangerous for everyone. A skater who falls basically becomes a razor-sharp ninja star, just as liable to be struck by other skaters as to hit someone else. Unfortunately, this sport’s helmet style hasn’t undergone much change over the years and existing designs tend to be uncomfortable and less practical for both safety and aerodynamics. See how the smashable, strapless, uber-cool Aguille helmet changes the game. —-

The challenge was to make the athlete faster and safer, but also improve air circulation without going outside the rules of the sports.

Personal research has also shown that the chinstrap is uncomfortable for the athlete. Mock-ups tested on the athlete also showed measurable improvements in comfort and performance once the helmet adapted a strapless design.

It improves aerodynamics through an innovative flexible structure, which allows an active crumble zone. This crumble zone can absorb the impact and then goes back into its actual shape. New protective materials absorb the force of the impact rather than distributing it.

Um… why doesn’t this already exist? It’s just… pain… genius. Ideal for urban cyclists, the DORA helmet works in tandem with adaptable Bluetooth handlebar controls to give surrounding vehicles notice of the rider’s intent to turn or brake with universally recognizable light signals and colors. While it’s a great safety solution for the average cyclist, there’s also potential for an adaptation to motorcyclist helmets and the like. Check out the 360 after the jump!
