Zen Humidifier
How GORGEOUS is this humidifier? Made of Japanese Cypress, it uses no electricity; water is naturally drawn through the wood and evaporated into the air. And according to Okada, the Japanese firm that designed this piece of art, this process evaporates water six times faster than if left in glass. Okada calls this device “The […]
12 Days of Christmas
Last week’s The Office featured a Secret Santa exchange wherein Andy literally gifts his crush Erin the “12 Days of Christmas.” “Is it my fault that the first eight days is basically 30 birds?” Despite the fact that Erin suffers quite a bit from the presents (ie, being attacked by French Hens), I found the […]
Photoshop Magnet Kit
The handmade version may have more clout, but here’s one for the rest of us: The only thing I can suggest is that they add a cursor (and perhaps a spinning Mac ball to make it super-realistic). Get your own at ThinkGeek. You may also like: Penguin Paperback Style Covers for Video Games OMGz I […]
500 Pencils
Does anyone else lay out their art supplies – whether it be tubes of paint, pastel sticks, or colored pencils – and organize them by color?

Information Is Beautiful
Gizmodo just featured an image from the upcoming book The Visual Miscellaneum: A Colorful Guide To The World’s Most Consequential Trivia. As a lover of design, data collection, charts, and graphs, data visualization is right up my alley. I was delighted to discover that there exists a corresponding blog called Information Is Beautiful. Unfortunately, the […]
Measurement Conversion Apron
I know I should wear an apron when cooking, but I don’t. (An apron would prevent the numerous greasy stains on my clothes. It would’ve also averted that nasty burn I got on my boob from a glob of jumping oil. Why was I cooking naked? Don’t ask.) However, this Measurement Conversion Apron is cute […]
Telegram Postcards
I can’t remember the last time I sent a postcard but these Telegram Postcards from Girl Of All Work would surely give me an excuse to start again! Actually, they’re so pretty that I may just tack them to a bulletin board to admire. Or perhaps I’ll gift them to a friend who will send […]
