Desk Art

Clocks were once exclusively affixed to walls or pressed up against them, as in your grandfather’s old cuckoo clock. As time passed (pun intended, or course), they ended up in digital form on a nightstand near you and have more recently been replaced by cell phones and watches. The Medusa Clock takes the concept of time into the future — and beyond.

Innovative Canvas

Think Wynwood, but under your feet, and with a few power serves mixed in. That’s the ingenious idea behind the tennis “Art Courts” popping up in underserved communities across the country, starting with Miami.

Tennis training tools don’t get any more perfect than with your very own portable tennis ball machine to spit balls out at random directions with speeds that will make you feel like you’re playing in a real match against a pro.

Spring Bliss

As I prepare for my annual spring cleaning routine — organizing the house, storage, desktop, backup files, clearing out useless apps, etc.

Nostalgic Shores

While water is essential to sustaining life, it’s also vital to enjoying it. Florida has over 650 miles of beaches and every day they “wave” to us inviting us in to play. And that’s precisely what many of us were born to do.
