Red Bull and Cocoon Branding have teamed up to create a rather unique DJ table for Red Bull Canada.
The goal was to create “a stylized yet functional DJ table that would represent Red Bull’s sponsorship of an actual nightlife experience”, and I think they succeeded quite nicely.
In addition, there were some interesting guidelines for the project that Red Bull wanted to meet: The table had to avoid blatant representation of Red Bull – including their trademark blue and aluminum packaging colours or an obvious bull motif.
The end result is a table that is more of an homage to DJs than to Red Bull.
The slotted cutouts are a nod to the days of vinyl, and provide ventilation for the modern DJ’s laptop, the illuminated Red Bull logo can be swapped out during the day for a more subtle look, and a ‘unique’ cut-out ‘down there’ confirms that the table is, in fact, a bull, and not a cow.

Didn’t get enough Steve Jobs in your life yesterday?
Then make your own!
Toy-A-Day is a year-long project where the creator will be constructing and posting a new paper toy from a basic template each day for one year, and to help celebrate iDay, he created a little Steve Jobs that comes with his own iPhone and iPod.
Simple print it out, fold it up, and display it for all your friends to see.
A lack of a neck makes it difficult to show off the trademark turtleneck in this mini mock-up, but considering the fact that this is an accurate representation of his Steviness, you can trust that it’s in there somewhere.

Gizmodo stirred the blogosphere into a tizzy recently with iPhoneyGate, a false report of Apple’s iPhone being introduced well before anyone expected it to be. It turned out Gizmodo was fed some misleading information, as the iPhone was released when they said it would be, but as a Linksys VOIP phone (apparently Linksys owned the trademark on the iPhone name all along, and no one knew). Tempers flared, and Brian Lam, the man behind this whole fiasco, explained his side of the story today for all to dissect and complain about in future blog posts. I remain ambivalent about the whole situation, considering it a giant case of mass miscommunication, but apparently, others feel a little more betrayed than I do. Who knew the truth could be so confusing?
