The Anti-Watch
On 17, Jul 2014 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
This wristwatch truly thinks outside the circle. Thanks to modern technology, we no longer need to conform to traditional ideas for product design. Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday when shampoo and conditioner miraculously mated in the same bottle? Time to rethink convention. (No offense to the Convention Convention, January 15th at the airport Marriott. Free parking.)

Fluid Architecture
On 01, Apr 2010 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
The Aqua Building in Chicago is an 82-story mixed use skyscraper designed by architect Jeanne Gang. Its eye-catching design and undulating shape is reminiscent of a melting ice cube. And just like an ice cube, it’s quite cool indeed.

On 15, Mar 2010 | In Uncategorized | By Bruce Adhoc
No, this is not an Amish man in a clock, but rather a flat panel video monitor playing a continuous loop of a man patiently drawing, then erasing each minute and hour in real time for twelve hours. What time is it? Time to check into a mental hospital.
