NerveAction-designed DODOcase released to the wild

DODOcase

DODOcase has launched a new Kindle case, and we’re really excited about them! Made from CNC-machined bamboo and traditional book-binding techniques (made here in SF), the Kindle case is an excellent extension of their line of iPad products.

They Grow Up So Fast, Don’t They?

Heart Catheter Robot

A few years back, I helped design and build a robot.
Last week, that robot successfully performed it’s first heart surgery.
I’m so proud of you, son.

ONE Zero gets going

ONE Zero

ONE Condoms are adding a new product to the brand with some sweet packaging mods. The tin (which we are pretty proud of, BTW) maintains it’s awesomeness. Pic below the fold.

It’s a pretty big book. I guess.

GIANT BOOK!

I recently attended a dinner party hosted by a friend who was house-sitting. The home-owners happened to own a copy of Bhutan, the largest book in the world. It is, of course, absolutely gorgeous (as it should be, for $30,000). I took some snaps.

Design Award Finalism!

Award Finalist

A product line (which I co-designed) is so new that it isn’t even Google-able, but it still managed to get itself named a Finalist for the International Housewares Design Awards. Sneak peak below the fold.

I recently had the opportunity to tour the soon-to-open Design Annex co-working environment in Union Sq, Somerville. It’s a really exciting space focused on helping creatives build a strong community and leverage each other’s skills.

Congratulations to the team over at ONE: they’ve secured a really great position with Target! Starting next March, ONE Condoms will be available from the retailer nation-wide, and sold, of course, in the packaging designed here at Nerve Action.

To celebrate, I put a sneak peak of ONE’s newest Nerve Action-designed product below the fold.

On the Origin of Robot Species

CYLONS!

Clearly, robots evolve. Cylons, for example, first got badder ass and then grew skin. But please, art directors and engineers, you need to stop fetishizing white robots with black mechanical guts.

 

It’s getting a little played out, dudes.
