“Ripple Effect Tea Table” by Korean industrial designer Jeonghwa Seo and Hanna Chung is a reflection of eastern mentality towards social relationships.
From the product site:
Easterners commonly believe that small changes of individual person or objects can be a big impact on the whole, which lead them to modest and totalitarian social culture. This social tendency, which described as a ‘ripple effect’ in psychological term, here in translated into tea ceremony.
The water layer on the tabletop makes the ripples by the movements of users. Tea plate floats on the water while drinking tea. One’s action can cause an impact on the whole situation on this table.
Through this project we wanted to emphasize the importance of considering mentality, when designers deal with culture as a context of design. Considering the cultural psychology will provide deeper understanding of each other’s culture in the globalized world.

If you’re going to parade about in a costume and fight (or cause) water-based crime, this is without a doubt the vehicle you should have in mind when doing so. From Dvice:
A 260 horsepower engine pushes the Seabreacher X through the water at 50 miles per hour on the surface and 25 mph when it’s diving. That means it has enough speed that it can jump a whopping 12 feet into the air when it gets going.
Other notable features: 1) It can also spin in the water 2) It looks like a fucking shark.

If you spend a good bit of time lounging on water and have always wanted a craft that was so badass that you’re forced to constantly beat people off so you can keep all the awesomeness to yourself, here you go. Sorry, that might have been worded poorly…or PERFECTLY. From Uncrate:
This Interactive Recreational Entertainment Vessel seats up to 10 people inside its circular decks, and features a central low smoke charcoal grill that can be swapped for a number of other centerpieces, an outboard electric 2-5 hp motor with 8-10 hours of battery life, 4 storage bins, an integrated umbrella, and an optional audio package with marine approved hi-fidelity 500 watt speakers, amplifier, satellite radio and a MP3 connection. Lest you feel selfish for dropping 24 large on a floating bar, you can rest easy knowing it’s made in America from 45% reclaimed material, and is 80% recyclable.
I’m gonna need some new pants…and a nap.
Buy one here. It’ll be $24,000.
With floods in the American southeast and killer tropical storms raping Asia…it’s a safe bet to assume Mother Nature wants us dead by drowning. In order to be better prepared for these flash fluids, I would highly advise you to invest in a Citibot Folding Kayak from Folbot. Via Bachelor Guy:
One of their most space-saving models, the Citibot, is a sleek one-man kayak made specifically for the city dweller that doesn’t even have the luxury of a walk-in closet. This thing will fit just about anywhere. You can cram it in your closet or shove it under your bed… and at only 24-lbs stored in in its backpack you can carry it anywhere your granola-loving heart desires.
The Citibot is rugged, sleek and takes only a few minutes to assemble (the video below says 12.5 minutes… but I gotta figure that’s after a few practice runs), to its full 10-ft length. And if you’re into hitting the skies to find your next adventure, the Citibot is airline checkable. That means you won’t get anally compromised for attempting to travel with a traditional kayak – not to mention you could save yourself about $200 in baggage fees.
Also great if you want to do some urban Kayaking and need to make a less cumbersome getaway.
Get one here. It’ll be $1200 bucks.
Spaberry basically built a mobile boning tub that you can move out of your neighbor’s line of sight if things actually get that far with an actual woman. Via Dvice:
The Spaberry just needs a 110V outlet and some water. Fill it up with 125 gallons, heat it up, and you and a friend are all set for a soak. It comes loaded with jets, lights and drink holders, allowing for the perfect romantic evening.
The dude in the picture above either looks like he just got off or he’s taking a huge leak. Either way, looks like it works.
Get one here. It’ll be 5 grand.
