This ballpoint pen digitally records handwritten notes

The Orée Stylograph is ballpoint pen that can digitally record and store notes and sketches made in a companion notepad. It is made of real copper, and uses fine ballpoint cartridges which can be refilled. It has a high-speed micro camera that tracks pen strokes, while an accelerometer detects its movement and angle.

The content stored inside the Stylograph can be transferred to both iOS and Android devices with bluetooth pairing. According to Orée, the pen can be used for up to 42 hours, and it can be recharged via micro USB. You can't buy this yet, and its selling price has not been unveiled. However it will be available for pre-order online and at selected retailers later in September.

This is what I want for my birthday. If there's someone out there generous enough, share!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Good things come in small boxes

Here's a tip: If you lose your child at The Museum of Modern Art, try the MoMa Design Store , where he's likely roaming around and looking for some cool toys. Among the things worth buying is this Science Experiment Toolbox, which contains everything kids as young as four need to conduct over 6 exciting experiments. Made of durable plastic and eco-friendly wood parts, budding engineers, inventors, and problem-solvers will be fascinated by this set. There's a bell ringer, a zoetrope, a waving hand, a climbing frog and a crane to help them learn logical concepts such energy transfer, momentum and gravity. I would have loved this as a kid.

How sculptor Ptolemy Elrington turns old hubcaps into works of art

One British artist has found treasure in the junk that some people throw away and, using his creativity and resourcefulness, turns it into metal masterpieces. Ptolemy Elrington, who is currently based in Brighton, England, takes abandoned hubcaps and repurposes them into spectacular animal sculptures using hand tools and wire. Ptolemy specializes in wheel trims, but any piece of discarded metal scrap is a potential art masterpiece in his eyes. His creations can take anything from a single day to three months, such as the ten-meter long dragon he built from 200 hubcaps, which sold for £3,000. Check out the video, embedded below, and his website for more. [h/t: FREEYORK ]
