Aren’t these the greatest blinds?  They are made by SurfaceView which has tons of really cool image blinds but I sort of have that “I could make this” feeling with them.  Remember that stencil book I got?  Could I use it to make something like this?

As I get ready for another round of travel (San Diego and SXSW) I’ve got my eye out for cool travel gear.  This site has travel sizes of really nice beauty products that all make it through security check points.   Guys, they have men’s stuff as well.This also works great for those of us who like to try a product before we buy a whole tub o’ whatever.

I am not a user of “de-stressing” items at work… because they totally don’t work for me.  I don’t want to squeeze a soft ball, I would much rather throw said ball at things (yeah, that’s why I don’t have them).  Here’s a vending machine that crashes a dish for a few quarters. 

I love, love, love getting / sending mail and when I saw these I thought of about a million people I’d love to send them to.  Hey, if my bills came with these I may be less inclined to throw them out upon opening…  The top ones are from Grass Studio, the bottom one is from Lovi Oy.

 Via Urban FleaThis, from Japanese design shop Nendo, is such a brilliant idea.  I’ve got so many charg-y plug-ins that they drag all over the floor.  I suppose I could find some kind of organizer but….. I just want these.

I tried this out Teux Deux this morning and as a maker-of-lists this is really simple and cool.
