This shoe-horn is absolutely stunning. But it would never work in my house. My son would wack it down in an instant!
The Kotori (small bird) Shoehorn was designed by Kaichiro Yamada and was recently commercialized by h-concept.

You can purchase it here for about $50!

What a  long-awaited iPhone app! The new Sushi Menu Book (iTunes) would be so helpful when you’re sitting at the counter of a posh sushi joint. If you’ve ever been to one of these places you’ll know that they never have menus. Gone are the days of ordering the osusume (ie: whatever the chef wants you to eat).

Released by Rightning Inc, the app is based on this book, which retails for about $13, into this app, which you can download for $4.
