I’ve never been one to mark up my books with notes. There is something seemingly sacrilegious about penning up the pure paper of a tome of knowledge. Even if that tome happens to be a Harry Potter novel.
The BookMarker is made to not only save your place, but contains a super thin pen which lets you mark up your pages (damn you) with all of your cryptic, likely unintelligible, notes.
Don’t ask me why they did it, but they did it. Design group “I Never Kissed A Dog” spent hours, meticulously covering a room in white Post-It notes, as to recreate the wintery whiteness of the coldest season of the year. The project, called “Winter 1972,” does a bang up job of recreating the sharpness of winter’s chill, and it just looks awesome no matter how you spin it.
I don’t image it would be too comfortable sitting on a couch covered in Post-It notes, but it’s certainly more comfortable than sleeping in a real winter landscape? Having snow down your pants is not an experience I recommend to anyone. Can you say shrinkage? I’m a Jew. I can’t afford shrinkage. (more…)
Half iPod case, half notepad and all business sums up this $27 dollar iPod Nano 3G peripheral from Scripta. Whenever I’m in a Vic Mackey kind of mood, I know this case will come in handy. It helps me keep tabs on my informants and trust me, I have a lot of them*.
Whether it’s keeping track of incriminating evidence that will lead to some poor schmucks’ citizens arrest or compiling a grocery list of all the munchies I need to stock up on, this case suits me well. Yes, that’s right — this iPod case is great for stoners as well as sleuths.
* – I do not actually have any informants :\
How many times have you wished that those notes you took could be transfered into your computer for editing? Not too many… Well, that might explain why not too many people have caught onto the digital pen idea. Not only is it awkward to hold something of this size and write with it, it is just dumb to spend $150 for something that you routinely lose anyways. So while you could store up to 40 pages of notes (if you can write that much in 8 hours), you probably won’t. Sure, Logitech made their new io2 digital pen set look mighty pretty, it just isn’t worth the $150 they want. –Nik Gomez
