Kangoo Jumps
Call me a dork, I don't care because I lust after the Kangoo Jumps. They are low impact rebound sport shoes. By using body's weight, the energy is transferred to rubber coils that bounce that energy back, springing you off the ground. It's great for jogging, running and hiking. The strain normally directed to your heels and ankles are reduced since the shell surrounding the rubber coils absorb most of the shock.
I can just see myself running around the office, making trips to the corner store and these babies might JUST MIGHT get me to go hiking. Who the hell doesn't wanna bounce around like a Kangaroo??? I know I do so I implore my readers; BUY ME ONE, size 11 (I got big feet) please. Spanx much. :)

Supersize My Polo
No no, I haven't suddenly become obese nor am I going for the baggy look. I'm just excited because an iconic fashion symbol in men's casual dress is revamping itself and I must say, it's a good move.
I'm talking about Polos, not the word used in it's generic form but the actual shirt from the actual company. Starting this spring, Ralph Lauren will offer he's classic Polo's with an enlarged logo. The cut is closer to the body and the collar is shorter. It's amazing how modern the classic polo can become just by changing a few things. The supersized horsey with the enlarge polo player is so fucking hot. Somebody buy us two, size large please. :)

Photonic My Fabric
Mad scientists over at Philips Research always come up with cool experiments that you'd love to see in your home, but find it hard to find any practicality in them. Their latest effort brings an interconnecting flexible substrate with red, green an blue LEDs. They call it photonic textiles.
When the substrate is applied underneath a soft fabric, the light diffuses resulting in a more continuous light source emitting a soft glow. My question is, where does the the heat from the LEDs go and how is it dissipated?
One possible application is light therapy. We've all heard about the thousands of depressed people in the far north. Not enough sun and the mind begins to wander. (Sorry plankton, I know you're Swedish but you know it's TRUE!). Light therapy fools the mind into resetting it's internal clock and is traditionally administered in a controlled environment. Maybe now people can take soft comfy pillows home that can help their mind and bodies while they sleep at night. If this ain't a valid use of the technology, then there's only one other option . . .
Ikea. I see truck loads of pillows, blankets, curtains etc . . . made from photonic textiles. In fact, I predict it to be a huge hit with college students and Korean girls as they'll be able to get lighting and curtains all in one product. Saves money, saves time. Ikea, if you buy into this technology, I expect you to give electroplankton a reasonable share of the profits. That's all we ask.

Hand Screened Hoodies & Tee's
Little By Jenny makes some amazingly beautiful hand screened tee's and hoodies for men and women. The fabric material is the highest quality cotton available by American Apparel - thick, soft and long lasting. American Apparel products usually hold their color for a long time so rest assured so will their shirts and hoodies.
I for one love how she uses nature as a point of inspiration. The colors are vibrant and some of the designs on the darker contrasting hoodies scream to be bought, and at $50 a pop, thats a bargain. We'll be ordering a pair for ourselves unless one of you readers would like to contribute to electroplankton's hunger for fashion. Size large please, spanx. FEED US!
