Scion IQ 2012!

Scion IQ 2012 were unviled at CCS yeaterday. It looks like a miniature of Lexas in design, not cheap looking. 1.4 liter Engine, 37 gas mailage within $16,000USD Performance were good, but over 11 second in 0-60 mail maybe too slow. I wanted the Sports package like M-series of BMW!

New iPad Case?

I'm planing to create the new i Pad case, since I have found many sweet fabric in Korea and China during this summer.
There must be many those cases in the market, but there are missing the artistic-touch personalities for me.
Why not, start designing something!

この夏、韓国、中国で見つけた絹の生地で、i Padケースを作ってみたい。
i Pad 用のアクセサリーマーケットには大量の製品が出回っているが、なかなか気に入った物がない。
じゃー、デザインを考えてみようか。
