at what price to impress one’s garbagemen? $16 for 12 brilliant goldfish bags? yes, i think that’s fair.

buy yours here and receive the eternal admiration of your city’s sanitation workers. seriously, they will be talking about you in the municipal break room for years. you can’t put a price on that sort of curb cred.

the invalid moped

the inVALID MOped

or

the INvalid MOPED

it’s impossible to tell what the phrase means without context, or more importantly, without cues for emphasis. are we talking about an italian moped with invalid registration or about an invalid who moped around? no, seriously, if anyone knows please email me because i can’t remember what this post was supposed to be about after i wrote the title.

thnks! (pronounced “thunks”)

CardsInk

cards.inc

CardsInk is doing for greeting cards what threadless does for t-shirts. viewers vote on designs and the highest voted designs get printed, with the designer getting $100.

one thing though: does anyone actually buy greeting cards online? i mean, if you’re online and you want to send a greeting card, don’t you just send one electronically? i hope i’m just wrong and/or lazy.

by the way, threadless is having a $10 sale on all t-shirts this week. now, you can’t wear an electronic t-shirt, AMIRITE??!

wally for your walls

i love these wall hangings by da da da. they’re a bit on the pricey side but can you really put a price tag on the joy of walking into your living room every morning and seeing a massive jar of pickles on the wall? no, you can’t.

i love these cassette lamps and the beautiful light shapes they cast. they’re made by designer vanesa moreno and can be ordered from her site for between €25 and €220.

leaf silhouettes

i remember having my silhouette drawn once in kindergarten, and then for some reason it was never done again in subsequent grades. strange then that something that requires one to sit still for so long would be done only on an age-group that notoriously hates to sit still.

but now you can update your profile the old-fashioned way with these gorgeous leaf silhouettes. just send in a photo and await your portrait—no sitting next to a hot overhead projector required!

i love this logo creator from supalogo! the fonts are a bit limited but otherwise it kept me busy for a while.

i’m trying to get my company’s name down to something a little more pithy, but in the meantime:

when i get a job these are going to be the first thing i buy with my new fat paycheck:

FRUIT STICKY NOTES! or, wait, STICKY FRUIT NOTES! no, maybe FRUIT POST-IT NOTES! or better yet, FRUIT-SHAPED PAPER WITH ADHESIVE BACKING!!!!!!

fruit notes

you can either buy one Kudamemo or by the crate for like $60,000 from japan here. the D-BROS have done good work here, although i’d like to see them apply that to their website which wasted about 13 minutes of my time.

yay, japanese ingenuity!
