The Transparent Toaster is one of those devices that’s so basic, I almost have the urge to feature it on Singletasker Saturday. As you can see, it toasts just one piece of bread at a time. However, it’s simplistic, elegant design changed my mind. If ever there was a minimalist toaster, this is it. The toasting area is completely transparent – just two pieces of glass. Brilliant.
A company by the name of Inventables is working on bringing this fantastic toaster to market. Apparently the technology is not quite fancy enough yet, but they’re working on it. If / when Inventables is successful, this transparent toaster would be a great addition to any minimalist kitchen setup.
Apple has, for years, included the Mighty Mouse with all their desktop products. It’s a pretty simple design in it’s own right – with a single button and tiny scroll wheel. But yesterday, Apple set a new standard for minimalism in computer mice – the Magic Mouse.
What’s the big deal about the Magic Mouse? No buttons. No scroll wheel. Just a glass-smooth multi-touch surface with which to interact. Of course there’s no cord as well – it uses Bluetooth technology to connect with your computer. All modern Macs have bluetooth built in, so compatibility shouldn’t be an issue.
I’m not sure if my carpal tunnel syndrome will allow me to use this incredible, minimalist mouse comfortably… but I’m willing to try.
