I have always wanted a picture of myself on my own belt buckle. It’d have the same effect as Steve-O’s back tattoo except I can take it off whenever I want. Kimbra Studios understands my needs. It knows that I’d rather hang pictures from my waist rather than the walls of my apartment.

It’s easy to do, too! All you do is go to Kimbra Studios’ website, select what you want to put your photo on (an assortment of wearables such as belt buckles and bracelets) and then upload an image. The prices range depending on what you want your picture on. The cheapest is the mobile-phone charm, which only costs $14. Want to go big? The bracelet costs $260.

Don’t get me wrong. This is stretching the bounds of what’s tech-related, just like your face. But after eyeing this Nantucket Rope Bracelet from J. Crew, which costs a mere $10, I haven’t been the same. I’ve had dreams of nautical voyages across dangerous seas, yacht ricottas and even docks.

I imagine a bunch of us there, with a cooler of beer, polo shirts and plaid shorts. Ah, the life. Oh wait, it’s 9AM on Thursday morning. One can dream, no?

As far as entries to the Next-Gen PC Design competition go, the INFO Live is relatively simple and straight forward. The INFO Live Bracelet basically acts as a wearable smartphone, merging a mobile device and a PC into a fashion accessory.

Use the 55 x 20 x 180mm touch-controlled INFO Live device for Internet connectivity, data transferring to other wireless-enabled devices, storing tons of data, reading and receiving the latest news, e-mails, messages, sharing documents in real-time, watching videos, listening to some tunes and even writing new documents while mobile. The specifics are sort of hazy, but who cares about mechanics when it’s so damn pretty. (more…)
