Zero Mouse concept by Oliver Rosito

Surfing around the net I found this intersting concept of Mouse named "Zero Concept" designed by Oliver Rosito from Istituto Europeo di Design Madrid.
It is clear the transportation design influence in his approach, it is very attractive and well done the only doubt I have is about the ergonomics because of the empity space on the sides...usually that is the point where we put our thingers to hold securely the mouse!

Giraffe Mechanics by Andrew Chase

Andrew Chase wrote: "This is my second giraffe (I made the first one to use in "Timmy"). I made it out of transmission parts, electrical conduit, and plumbing pipe. All the joints rotate and lock. Turning a removable crank on the Giraffe's side raises the neck. Lifting the tail releases a catch and lowers the neck. It's about 6 feet tall and it took about 80 hours to build."!

It is incredible! Great work!
