The Mast Brothers

Under - Art, Inspiration, Miscellaneous

The life of a mariner is one given over to wanderlust—the quest for adventure, crossing unseen horizons to secure precious goods—only to bring them back to their home port. This same love of adventure and curiosity defines the brotherhood of Rick and Michael Mast. They share a fiercely independent spirit, leaping into the unknown and trusting that they’ll find the answer through endurance and dedication to their craft.

They began their voyage in their apartment, using a homemade machine to process cacao beans. Over time they cultivated their creation, sourcing beans from family farms in Madagascar, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. Each bar is handmade with incredible reverence for the process and history of chocolate. They are bound in ornamental papers and golden foil like a collection of rare books. Each bar offers its own story of flavors, and no two are exactly alike.

What is PUSH?

Under - Industrial Design, Technology

Smartphone war is heating up. NOKIA is not an exception anymore and now battling for its survival like many other mobile phone manufacturers. Almost every new Smartphone is coming with its own OS now claiming to offer features that others simply can’t – you need them or not is a separate topic. Those who don’t have their OS ready yet have innovative ways to reuse whatever available in the market.

I stumbled upon this NOKIA site which is a circus of hacks on their high-performance N900 mobile computer running Maemo. Although impressive but how practical?
