Roofus: the Midwestern Savior

Friday, November 21, 2008 8:00AM - By Mike Payne

While we hate to admit that winter is fully upon us, at least we know that we can man our way through it the best way– without lifting a finger.  Just like our Husqvarna Solar Mower automatically mowed our lawn for us, we’ve found a solution to save us from shoveling snow this winter.  The Roofus snow removal robot scans your sidewalk and driveway and kicks out every single flake that hits pavement.  It may need some human assistance, as is shown by the included radio control, but it shows a lot of promise either way.  The best part?  You can take this baby into a cage match when she ain’t shoveling.  Hell, she might even make you some gambling money under-the-table… [yankodesign]

Caroline Winberg in Arena Magazine

Thursday, November 20, 2008 4:35PM - By Mike Payne

Thank you, Sweden.  Model Caroline Winberg is amongst the Nordic country’s top exports– hot women.  Seen here in Arena Magazine, Caroline Winberg is a 23-year-old, 5′11″ stunner has been hypnotizing passer’s by for just over two decades, including one Mick Jagger.  At 17, Winberg was stalked by then-59 Jagger after the two met at a fashion show.  The Rolling Stones frontman incessantly phoned Miss Winberg for weeks until, finally, the model’s parents stepped in and begged Jagger to stop.  Why was he so smitten?  Take a look for yourself in the gallery below…

Rainman the Stylish Carafe

Thursday, November 20, 2008 2:00PM - By AlexIon

Designed by Matilda Sundén Ringnérs, the Rainman Carafe is a wonderful little accessory that allows you to serve drinks with style, simplicity and class. Unlike most other serving pots, it has 8 holes at its top end which allows the drink to pour out like a beautiful shower. It is not just ergonomic, it reduces your chances of nasty spill. You could also use it to water your indoor herb garden– making it a great addition to the kitchen and the dining room alike. [via BelowTheClouds]

Penfield Rockford Goose Down Vest

Thursday, November 20, 2008 1:30PM - By Meieli Detoni

Goose down vests used to be so country, but then designers realized how truly comfortable they were and started playing with them! This Rockford one combines basic black (to match with layering hoodies, perhaps?) with a wide check in a classic combo combo. The western yoke design harmonizes nicely with a piece a lot of us used to love– and will again with these kinds of designs coming out. [$178 at urban]

Uber-cool Concept Ice Cruiser by Lotus

Thursday, November 20, 2008 12:59PM - By AlexIon

CIV is an exclusive ice vehicle by Lotus that explores the harshest environment in the world and is not just a concept on a paper. Designed by Kieron Bradley, featuring an Ice Penetrating Radar (IPR) that looks out for thin ice, the Concept Ice Vehicle can hit a max speed of 84 mph on the frozen Antarctic turf. This mix between a snowmobile and an ultralight vehicle not only looks incredible, is also a completely practical solution. Too bad it’s only fit for a single rider… [via GreenUpgrader]

Sector’s Compass Torch: Timely Illumination!

Thursday, November 20, 2008 12:15PM - By AlexIon

If you want to add extra ‘oomph’ to your accessories, this is certainly the way to go. Sector’s new Compass Torch is a special wrist watch. Other than the dual dial and the simple display the stylish and elegant wrist watch is good to check the time but also to illuminate your path when needed by simply pressing one button. Crafted out of quality materials and packed in an equally cool box, we’re pretty sure it would make a great gift for the coming Holiday season. [via Miwaya]

Penguin Fish Menswear Fedora

Thursday, November 20, 2008 11:45AM - By Meieli Detoni

Fedoras are hot if you let your hat talk and keep the rest of your clothes pretty quiet. A well-cut wool coat will work with this fine Penguin piece, but if the weather’s not up to that, try it with an ’80s style windbreaker. Stretch headband with a printed interior makes things look even more special and expensive (even though it’s not). [$48 at urban outfitters]
