Two trends are still holding strong in 2009 - the popularity of Twitter and mashups. Using only XHTML/CSS and Javascript, the clan at Quodis Labs has created a beautiful real-time visualisation of updates in the Twitterverse. Dubbed Tori’s Eye, visitors simply click each origami bird as it “flies” across your screen and read the message it’s carrying. You can always change the default search (twitpic) to anything that interests you. Truly a different and quirky way to present information.
No, these are not wooden handlebar mustaches. They’re bad ass handcrafted wooden handlebars for bikes. Check out more at Workerman and buy them on Etsy. (He also seems to make some great t-shirts).
Check out this Augmented Reality Business Card from James Alliban on Vimeo. I’m jealous. Very jealous. Incredibly bad ass.
Wallpaper’s just launched a new interactive portion of their website which aims to catalogue and document a selection of products their editorial staff likes. They’re adding new items to it regularly so I’m sure it’ll come to be useful, or at least inspirational. Great selection of goodies which are browsable by room or product. Check it out.
The Split Ring Key: Another great product from Scott Amron, the designer behind the New Soap Old Bottle we covered a few months ago. Carry your keys on your other key. Real working key blank. Key blank can be cut by any key cutter to fit KW1 or SC1 keyways.
He’s also selling a 30% stake in his “Split Ring Key Blank Patent”… I inquired to find out how much he is looking for. Via PSFK
The OneLessDesk we wrote about last April now has companions. Now joining the lineup is the computer desk/stand and OneLessFile for all your filing needs. Big fan of this easily stackable/configurable stuff. Great work Dean!

LG's GD910: in the UK next month
The LG Touchscreen Watch Phone – also know as the GD910 – will be sold by Orange in the UK, but only for a “limited time period”.
Orange has yet to confirm how much the futuristic timepiece will cost, but it has previously been speculated that the device will cost about £1000 ($1458/€1140).
The network operator said that the "handcrafted" device will be available “at an exclusive price point” – which is undoubtedly code for 'expensive' – on either pay-as-you-go or SIM-only options.
See the LG watchphone demo'd for Register Hardware on video here
An integrated camera lets the GD910’s wearer make video calls over a 3G connection of up to 7.2Mb/s. The device also features voice recognition, text-to-speech functionality, Bluetooth, an MP3 player and 1.4in touch-sensitive screen. ®

Aimée Wilder is a New York based designer that has collaborated with Vans on shoe design and Skip Hop for their line of bags and baby bedding. This being unplggd and all, what really caught our eye was her wallpaper. The analog nights line to be exact. We have seen pixel inspired wallpaper and even blankets as wall coverings, but there is just something so right about seeing a repeated pattern of cassette tapes, turntables, speakers and keyboards...
