Thee Bic Phone By Orange
Sometimes the easiest and simplest ideas are the best. Orange France now teamed up with Bic, best known for their lighters and pens, to create the first "Ready-to-Call" cellphone. And for the first time the name actually makes sense and holds true.
Not only do you get a phone and 60 minutes of talk time included in the 49 Euro package (about 62 USD), but the phone comes pre-charged, which means that you can actually start calling right after purchase. It's the perfect phone for tourists or when you simply run out of battery.
We also find it brilliant that Orange teamed up with Bic. Because what does Bic stand for at the end of the day? Cheap, decent quality and distributed EVERYWHERE. If they used the Bic distribution for the phone, this can be a huge success.
Also the design looks decent. We can even see the Bic phone becoming a cool accessory to have. Now it just needs to be more widely available, hopefully also outside France, and it will be a hit.
The Bic Phone is now available in the Colette online store.

Joshua Allen Harris’ Inflatable Plastic Bag Subway Art
from Inhabitat by
Polar bears, polar bears. Those ubiquitous symbols of climate change. Cute and cuddly, ethereal and majestic, they’re popping up everywhere - including atop subway grates on the streets of New York City. Artist Joshua Allen Harris has created quite an online buzz with his puppy-like inflatable plastic bag polar bear: it inflates and deflates with the passing of subterranean subway trains, springing to life and then fading away in a vital commentary on global warming. We’ve covered inspired plastic bag art in the past, but never with such an animated aesthetic.
The peoples Art
Via: ::NY Times
Brooklyn 2003 - in the political Zeitgeist of the Bush era Marc Grubstein, Brock Enright, Steve Johnson,
Daniel Joseph, Chad Spicer and David Henry Brown Jr. founded the Fantastic Nobodies. With subtle to
brutal humor, biting satire, anarchistic actions and dadaistic nonsense they reflect and unmask within their
performances the actual
state of western society. For Operation Shitstorm they invade brot.undspiele galerie and a public workspace
in Brunnenstr. 56. In addition reckon with spontaneous actions in the city.
In addition Bipolart.cc presents a Jammy Jam in dedication of Daniel Joseph's fantastic nobody art works
at West Berlin gallery and you can look forward to the Unagi Books release #2 entitled Fantastic Nobodies.

crazy armored Hippy Van
When I saw this I thought instantly this must be The Weatherman's get away car . Later nown as the Weather Underground Organization, they were a violent left winged american hippy radiacals that made Jerry Rubin and Abbie hoffman lool like whimps. They are the group, which organized a riot in Chicago in 1969 and bombed buildings in the 1970s. In West village NYC they blew up a town house and few of the leader by accident. They took their name from the lyric "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows," from the Bob Dylan song "Subterranean blues".
Anyways to make a long story short, this is a crazy armored Hippy Van
