Incase DSLR Bags
After my trip to Vancouver, I am definitely into this new camera bag by Incase, for the digital photographer.
This carrying case is only $60. If you look around you’ll see thats a good price.
But I’m going to make my own.

If your from NY you know these girls.
“The skinNY” is the story of Rachel and Joanna, two wildly self-confident girls from Orlando who move to New York to work in PR and “run this town.” They dress like it’s 2004, believe they can have any guy they want, and listen almost exclusively to Fergie.

No, not me! Bozo: The American Hero
|
|
| by Steven Heller |
“With his flaming red wings of hair, bulbous red nose, mammoth ruby smile, and signature yuh-yuh-yuh-yuh chuckle, Bozo was the quintessential American clown.
Harmon’s book is a serious work of clown literature. Smartly designed and entertainingly scribed, it returns Bozo (see video here) to his rightful place and the pantheon of pop culture. Or as “All About Clowns” explains:
OK, I don’t love the whole place because it’s kind of unfinished and drab for my taste. But i do love the pendants and the bar Stools are brilliant.
After working in as many bars and reasturants as I have, you begin to think you’ve seen everything that can be done with a bar stool. This is such a fresh take. Did I say I love these bar stools, cause I do!
The 30-foot bar is composed of C channel beams and sits beneath 85 lamps made from recycled fire extinguishers – true Castor! – that have been chopped in half and powder coated.
The bar stools are made from industrial truck spring.
Eight communal tables of veneer-topped oak make up the dining area, spinning off the success of the single huge communal table at Oddfellows, Castor’s earlier (and smaller) restaurant.

Modern interpretations of the dollhouse with true-to-life, functional details
Shrinking Modernism to a micro scale, the sleek and minimal dollhouses by NYC-based Brinca Dada have kids and adults alike excited to play make believe. At the Dwell on Design show I got to hear about the toymaker’s recently-completed Bennett House (above and below), which takes its cues from a mix of aesthetic influences.
With the overall simplicity of Rietveld’s Schröder House, Piet Mondrian’s geometric shapes and Christian Liaigre’s interior design, Brinca Dada’s second offering combines an attainable assortment of architecture’s best.
Recently featured on Good, Gordon Murray’s new 74-mpg T.25 City Car—while a little slower than the MacLaren F1 supercar he’s known for—still packs in just as much punch.
With a hinged front frame that lifts up in place of traditional doors (so as not to hit nearby vehicles, etc.), the sleek little micro-car seats three people, with the driver taking front and center, no passenger seat, and a back seat built for two. Designed around a safety cell, the car is exceptionally strong despite its size—which is so small three T.25s can fit in one parking spot, a major benefit to urban driving.
Additionally, Murray spent 15 years developing a new manufacturing process called “iStream,” a system dubbed as revolutionary as the groundbreaking car itself. Set to launch in the U.K. within the next two years, the T.25 City Car will retail for around $9,000.
You know what, I would love to deck out a bar with these.
But could you imagine a college class room with theses!
The colors are awesome, and they work as your own service table.
Put your bag below, Awesome.

Quick Tip: Sketching with a Mechanical Pencil
Posted by – Spencer Nugent | May 23, 2010

If you’re like me and love to sketch with pencil on occasion, it can be very hard to do while in an impromptu setting with traditional prismacolor or other pencils. You’d need a sharpener and a bevy of pencils if you want to keep sketching with a reasonably sharp pencil point.
Here’s the tip: If you’re wanting to sketch with pencil on the road, try using a mechanical pencil like the Pentel Mechanical Pencil. Regular mechanical pencil lead smudges for me, so I swap it out with waxy colored pencil lead refills that don’t smudge and are reminiscient of sketching with red or blue prismacolor pencils.
You’ll need to pick up a mechanical pencil that takes colored refills that are .7mm or .9mm so that the point won’t snap every time you put some pressure to it. Using mechanical pencils, I can get the benefits of sketching with a pencil without having to lug around a sharpener and several pencils! So give it a try some time.
Check out two samples I did below with a .7mm point in blue and .9mm point in red -
