We#8217;ve already featured a talking translator before, but it looked intimidating and/or boring. Not the Trinvo. It#8217;s a hip and handy talking translator equipped with the very original #8220;navigational wheel.#8221; Wherever you go, people will surely want to talk to you if only to ask what that gadget is that#8230;

The Unfinished Clock, made by Yve Thelermont and David Hupton, is made to be placed on the edge of a shelf or table. The clock#8217;s bottom part is missing but the hands will still go all the way. Why? Art. That always shuts most people up.
