Best of the Rest: Twitter on Paper and Eggshell Speakers

by Chad Mumm on May 28, 2009 at 07:45 PM

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Give your salt and pepper shakers a jolt of good design with this battery-inspired set -- they even have a power-meter so your vittles never go unseasoned. [WalYou]
  • Who wouldn't want to put their face onto a vintage album cover using a free flash Web app? We would [and did]. [Urlesque]
  • Wooden speakers are boring. Make some out of eggshells instead. [DVICE]
  • When your construction cranes look like this, they don't even need to be transforming Decepticons to scare the hell out of us. But seriously, Japan's ROBOTOPS is mega-awesome. [DVICE]
  • Slow your life down and get your tweets on good 'ol dead trees. Send a request to Sam Potts at Twitter On Paper and he'll hand draw you a post from the manic micro-blog and snail mail it to you. The only cost is your patience. [Twitter On Paper]
