The Fuuvi Bee is the one and only 8mm digital camera from Japan that is ready to roll and shoot with MicroSD/SDHC memory card support. The toy size body (at a mere 39g) is designed to hang on your wrist, but the ability and function are able to produce amazing retro artworks. Bee is easy to control with a convenient charging solution; the built-in battery will last up to 100 minutes while you record from full charge. This little high-tech gadget can communicate with both PC and MAC. At under ¥5000, it is also very affordable.

NoClean Aquariums

Now here’s one product that might actually change my mind about keeping fish as pets. The NoClean Desktop Aquariums is the fastest, easiest, mess-free and fun way to have an aquarium with its self-cleaning, eco-friendly (no electricity or filters) set up and only takes about 60-seconds to work.

Due to gravity and the laws of physics, aquarium waste naturally works its way through the rocks to be trapped at the bottom of the aquarium in a patent-pending reservoir and plumbing system. Every couple of days, simply pour clean water into the aquarium to activiate the self-cleaning system. This flushes out waste trapped in the reservoir while performing a partial water change. As this is a Kickstarter project, they need your support before this product can become a reality. Check out the link for more details.

What do you do when you run out of room? Build upwards, of course! That’s what designer Seung-Yong Song did and manages to kill 2 birds with 1 stone with his out-of-the-box-thinking. His creations may look a bit awkward but they are definitely functional, especially for apartment folks.

The first time I saw this, I was just blown away at how gorgeous these little jars look.
