Are Mobile Devices Destroying Your Body? [infographic]

Are Mobile Devices Destroying Your Body? [infographic]:

Though most of my peers are tightly chained to their devices, few of us seem to grasp that. Being truly chained to convenience, most cannot see the parasite for what it is.


Of course, mobile technology has its uses. It’s even ridiculous to point that out. But have you ever felt a distinct repulsion from your mobile phone? Perhaps your delicate eyes, when confronted by the screen, were offended by the fluorescent, hypnotic glare. ..


If you’ve ever felt at a complete distance from your phone, there are some very good, proven reasons that explain this aversion.


Listed below are the insidious, detrimental effects of those seemingly helpful sidekicks.

Personally, I’ve been very aware of the effects of screens on my eyes for a long time. My cave-fish blindness and light sensitivity has heightened my awareness of the raw fire of the screen since cell phones were ever around me.


In fact, as the infographic illustrates, such screens manage to attack all of our senses. Read on to clarify exactly what your plastic “friend” is doing to you. (via)

Tender Tan Hill Boots:

You know when a product is carried exclusively in Japan that it has to be good. That's the case with the very limited Tan Hill Boot ($675) from Tender which fortunately for you, will find its way to Unionmade SF and their online storefront. The boot is made in England on a 100 year old last with unstained vegetable tanned leather uppers, chainstitch construction, copper rivets, and a steel horseshoe heel. Link



Top Two Taxies in Prague

Top Two Taxies in Prague:

The historic city of Prague has many sights to take in, for example the Prague Castle, the picturesque Charles Bridge or the Astronomical Clock. During the Iron Curtain era, it was one of the most visited cities of Europe. Although reliant on a tram and metro system, one of the best modes for transport is the taxi. Based on this observation was a recent event called the Prague Taxi Design and two really outstanding entries are listed after the jump….


Taxi Visitor by Diego Garcia







Taxi Visitor is based on the premise that tourists driving into the city from the airport, like to enjoy a ride where they can take in the sights and sounds on the first go. The abundant spacing and height of the cab allow for a full view and cast and everlasting impression. The color schemes for the cab are inspired by the beige plaster of the Lesser Town houses and their darker retaining wall.


Call Taxi-e by Louis Joseph Böhm





The adaptable Call Taxi-e accommodates up to six passengers and can be used for cargo services as well. The design features sliding doors and a ramp for wheelchair. Expanded windows and an airy cabin ensure a pleasant ride. The wheel driven motors are powered by batteries that are fueled by solar cells hidden on the roof.
