Getting Crafty

Recently featured on Steven Heller's "Daily Heller" blog, Jesse Willmon and Kirsten Sorton have created a hilarious reaction piece to all those who are glued to their iPhones, Blackberries and other smartphones: "We created our own version of these technological travesties to use when your friends/enemies/passing acquaintenances are being jerks with their hand-held technology." Their solution? The i-wood, a piece of wood with graphics that make it appear like a fancy schmancy smartphone. Smartass applications vary from "status symbol" to "time waster." I suppose there are equal concerns about getting this phone wet, but at a fraction of the cost, I think it's worth it just to make your point.
