One of my favorite parts of going on road trips when I was younger is listening to the radio in the car. You never know what you’re going to get when you switch through stations. And even at home, tuning in on to a physical radio is always a fun time, something that the new generation may never experience ever. But there are still some radios in the market and even more design concepts for those longing for the “good ole days”.

Radio concept brings the aural and tactile nostalgia of using actual radios

Every year, TV brands update their lineup with the latest models, but there are not always advancements in spec or tech. The previous generation of sets are gradually phased out, but they often don’t carry many differences from the new generation, and end up selling for discounted prices.  2023 had an amazing crop of TVs, with serious advancements in QD-OLED (so much so that at one stage OLED seemed to be over) and even brighter and punchier-looking conventional OLEDs, thanks to the introduction of micro lens array (MLA) tech and even more powerful processors. Mini-LED took to new heights as...

There’s a meme that says one of the things that you’ll never find when you need it is the tape dispenser. You may own one (or maybe even several) but the moment you actually need it, it disappears. So maybe you need something that’s permanently attached to your work space or also something that’s not so difficult to use since I’ve “destroyed” several out of frustration.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.

The allure of the Omega x Swatch Mission to the Super Blue Moonphase watch pulled me from Dallas to Austin, a journey sparked by the promise of a rare astronomical event.

Such rarity naturally inspired this limited-edition watch, which Swatch and Omega designed to celebrate the celestial event and their storied collaboration.
