For any one that wasn't sure what to do with that gorgeous plastic box the ipod nano/shuffles come in... how about recycling it into a portable speaker system with the bird-electron kit? Also great for water bottles...
YaYa Chou has a thing for gummi bears ~ i just saw her bear rug at the Tinlark opening ~ also take a look at her gummi chandelier, gummi covered porcelain, and more!

A.P.C. has a fun leather wrap bracelet in their Spring 2008 collection with a centimitre ruler embossed on it! So many uses, so cute in black and tan leathers...
Nice Room & Board Copenhagen Media Console to hang or place the plasma on... and discreetly hide the many game consoles, etc. New for 2008 you can get them open top, in various sizes/finishes.

For me, a mac is *just* a tool, not a way of life. Apparently the mindeset profile for people who own a mac is really high in openness, superiority, perfectionism - and low in modesty and dogmatism?
These animal electrical outlet covers are pretty cute ~ liking the sheep and elephant best. Best comment idea ~ someone should make skull and crossbones!

French designer JEAN-MARIE MASSAUD’s concept for a floating hotel, the glorious whale-shaped “Manned Cloud” promises to be a transcendent thing of beauty should it ever reach the clouds.
Handpresso ~ bicycle pump + expresso packet + hot water = expresso on the go? The nice design coupled with the hilariously suggestive french couple in a movie theater ad makes it worth checking out.
UPDATED! Dan got us some hands on shots of the MacBook Air ~ close ups of all the tiny details i was curious about ~ like the power adapter connection and the ports, etc...
LIVE from macworld ~ and it ain't pretty... Here are a few pics on how insane macworld is currently, and how bad it was this morning for regular people trying to get into the keynote. Quite the sea of humanity.
Great post and video at the Pentagram blog about their latest redesign of Dairy Today magazine... its incredible what a glam portrait cow covermodel each month can do.
