cool new Zune ad (made by my company) featuring Laika, the first dog in space set to an Aliens song - how appropriate! My own dog plays a supporting role - watch for her eating bacon at the end!

If I had this shark guitar from JC Penney I might be persuaded to learn how to play. On sale for only $150! That's pretty cheap for a guitar I think.

I'm on a bit of a banana kick right now. This trinket box is pewter and is cast from a real banana.

you can buy fancy designer baby chicks for about $2 each...this one looks like he's wearing a superhero mask! They are all so cute that you will start to think rasing a chicken in an nyc apartment is a good idea.

i have a weak spot for things disguised as other things, so this ridiculous air purifier is kind of making me resent my sharper image one.

my friend found this tombstone while in a graveyard in england. Do you think Froshaug chose the typeface himself? i never gave much thought to the design of my own future headstone until now...yikes!

while Brandon Bird is best known for his oil paintings of celebrities, i like this giant squid-whale-dinosaur fight the best. This print would look really amazing in my apartment, but I wish I had a fireplace to put it over!

new application to tack on to your itunes. Searches your music and tells you about upcoming showws. It has a much better design than the widgets that do the same thing - i like that it mimics iCal!

this book about the design history of tupperware comes in its own custom container. Great shots of defunct designs. I like the "spoon-o-fork," the predecessor to the modern day spork.

this new Voga Quattro wine bottle looks an awful lot like VOSS water. I tried it out of curiosity, and it tastes pretty OK.

I Love Lenko - super cute Aussie line of bags, shirts, dresses, jackets and toys. Cute and happy - i love the "bad dates" shirt series. It's getting to be summer there so their winter stuff is on sale!
