Compact Living has several suggestions and solutions for people who want to make the most of their small living quarters by incorporating the use of loft beds (or lofts). Their gallery of photos is a pretty decent place to get some ideas about how to set up your own loft bed in your small apartment. [via]

The Apple iPhone nano was introduced today. It is clearly the greatest thing to ever come out of Cupertino.
Core77 has more info.

Clean as a whistle? I think not! This might get the actual poo off your finger, but it won’t do anything about the smell.

My mind has been thinking about road trips lately and Nokia’s announcement today of their Booklet 3G laptop seems like a perfect fit for somebody on the road. Details are scarce at the moment, but it looks like the Booklet 3G has a super-hi-res screen for its size, built-in A-GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G, HDMI out, and an SD card reader. It also runs Windows 7 with a 12-hour battery life (I’ll believe it when I see it).
I wonder how this will get 3G. Will I be able to stick my SIM card in there and make calls from it (if so, that would be useful). Or will I have to pay separately for additional 3G service to this computer (that would be dumb)?

Dominic Hargreaves has created quite possibly the most remarkable folding bike ever. Most folding bikes on the market fold, sure, but they still aren’t quite as compact as I would like them to be. Dom’s bike however folds completely into the circumference of the wheels and leaves a nice little pull handle for you to drag the bike around.
And not surprisingly, the bicycle design has earned Dominic a chance at winning the James Dyson Award for innovation (which translates to lots of fame and a prize of over $14,000 USD.
Check out the video below of how The Contortionist folds up.

This is pretty neat. Matt Bergstrom draws and designs a bunch of famous New York City landmarks on postcards for Wurlington Brothers Press which can be turned into miniature model sets. Each postcard is $1.50 and includes all the parts you need to complete one structure. The instructions are posted online if you so happen to order a postcard.
At the moment, you can choose from the AT&T building, Citicorp Center, Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, Washington Square Arch, and an IRT train car.
