On the home front


One more way the digital age is invading our homes. This time it comes to our kitchens and our cookbooks. (scroll down a bit) What better than a cookbook that doesn't crumble with age, one that can be organized how you want it to be and reorganized in multiple ways. It can even print out your grocery list, making it an essentially painless process. And for those of us who are not neat and tidy the cookbook is covered in plastic that can be wiped down. Extending this concept further, what if you could submit your recipe's online to a community, Google Cookbook perhaps? Download your friend's or just post it online so that you can look at it again on your Aunt's computer at Thanksgiving. No longer would you have to pay a huge premium to buy a cookbook with hundreds of recipes when you will only use a fraction of them.

This is all coming from Momeld a blog for modern living/modern design. It brings together and reports on various designers that are looking at things in novel manners. Another interesting blog post that I liked was the way the UK coinage is changing. A 26 year old designer won the competition and now all the coins will form the Shield of Royal Arms. The article is 1/4 of the way down.

This is amazing! I still keep all my recipes in a box and I hate when they get all messy! It's brilliant! Time saver too!
