This is a ‘house’ that fits in your pocket, created by Barcelona designer Martin Azura, whose work focuses on minimalistic and environmentally friendly constructions. It’s basically an incredibly lightweight balloon that can be carried in your pocket and used for shelter. *patting backpack* Thanks, but I think I’m good on portable shelter. “Sssshhhhhhh — he thinks he’s one of us.” YOU SHUT THE F*** UP, DONATELLO.
The Basic House is a temporary housing solution so portable it can be folded up to fit in your pocket. Created from a metalized polyester material, when unfolded it self inflates with body heat or from the heat of the sun to provide an instant shelter.
Once inside the shelter, the material reflects your body heat to keep the user warm. If reversed the material will reflect the sun to keep a cool interior.
Great idea, just stop calling it a house. A house isn’t just an enclosed space, there’s usually more to it. I dunno, a bookshelf or something. I LIVE ON THE STREETS.
Meet the house that fits in your pocket [dvice]
Thanks to Ashraf, who agrees if this is a house then the guy living on my corner with two refrigerator boxes taped together in an L shape must have a f***ing mansion.

It’s not that you need a hardware-based H.264 live streaming encoder hanging around in your fifth pocket, but if you’re looking to capture more of life’s moments, why not? Scheduled for a proper introduction at NAB Show 2011, the Minicaster is capable of encoding and delivering a number of streams while also recording at the same time, and those settings can be tweaked directly on the unit itself. The company recommends using it with Wowza Media Server, and if you’re looking to become the world’s next Ustream star, investing in one of these may not be such a bad idea. Emphasis on may, given that the asking price is eluding us at the moment.

Don’t take this the wrong way — we’re glad to be in Las Vegas with all our friends at CTIA, playing with new handsets from Samsung and Motorola. But as you know, we also love us some new music gear, especially when it sounds good — so we wouldn’t exactly mind being in Frankfurt for Musikmesse right now, either. Currently on display at Korg’s booth, Monotron is a pocket-sized analog synth featuring a ribbon keyboard, VCO, VCF, and LFO controls, and the same analog filter found in the Korg MS-10 and MS-20 — and it sounds great. Check it out in the gallery below and and in the video after the break to see / hear the thing in action.

We fell in love with our HyperMac batteries during this year’s CES, and now it looks like Sanho’s decided to open its net a bit and introduce chargers for all you iPods, iPhones, and future iPad owners. All three models feature aluminum cases in colors that correspond to the ol’ iPod nano (pink, red, orange, so on, and so forth), and all three have USB connections for charging your non-Apple gear as well. The HyperMac Nano (fully recharges your iPhone 1.5 times), HyperMac Micro (up to three times), and the HyperMac Mini (up to six times) are available now $70, $90, and $120 respectively — and if you hop over to HyperMac.com now they’ll knock $20 off the asking price. If that doesn’t convince you, perhaps a gallery full of model-types showing off the devices will? Nah, probably not. PR after the break.
