How Tall Today, Young One?

One of the cutest and most universal signs of growing up, marked by the parents of the child, is the pencil mark above the head on the wall. Pencil mark on the wall to show how tall. Young ones growing up, head height by head height. The only thing is, the place where this is generally marked is on a wall in a house that might not even be in the possession of the person once they’re grown up. So how does one keep this treasure? Let me lead you to it. Mark it here.

This right here is the “MeasureMe Stick” by our pals at Studio 1a.m., made of bamboo and printed ink. Dimensions are 84″h x 4.7″w x .5″d. Weighs is 5 pounds. Hand made in Chicago, Illinois, stainless steel mounting pegs included.

Pretty! Feel free to hang em all up, even if you’ve got only a bunny and a kitty and no kiddies like me.

Batteries not included.

Designer: Studio 1a.m. [ Buy it Here, MeasureMe Stick is available for $120 @ YD Store ]

This Bathroom Concept Is Probably A Transformer In Disguise [Design]

The Roca Active & Relax has floor-to-ceiling “mirror-screen LCD plates” that act as either windows, monitors, or mirrors, a floor that moves at the command of your voice to convert the bath into a fitness facility, and hidden features galore.

Designed by Michal Mitek, this concept bathroom design is intended to make the most of a space by hiding several features in each aspect of its design. From the LCDs that can either give a beautiful panoramic view or double as computer monitors to the rising floor that covers the tub to turn the area into a fitness floor, everything is smoothly integrated.

I’d love a bathroom like the Roca, but I’ll be damned if I can figure out where the soap holder is. [Yanko Design]

The Ecohime Cellphone Strap Applauds Your Bowel Movements [Japan]

You went potty all by yourself! Feel the same sense of achievement you did as a child with the Ecohime cellphone strap while simultaneously concealing any unpleasant noises.

Actually, the sound emitted by Ecohime is supposed to be running water, but as our leader Jason Chen pointed out “it sounds like a standing ovation.” Hopefully, version 2.0 will embrace this theme with raucous applause and words of encouragement and praise. “I knew you had it in you!”, “Way to be #2!” and so on.
