re: Nike [ japan > usa ]

just watch:

iCat.

cats are smart.

and this made me feel dumb,

because today i dropped my iphone in the toilet...

interacted at get cynical.

better than any skyscraper.

by. a. lot.

it's a crazy composite of 83 photos from nat geo.

i like trees. don't you agrees?

peek time

this was supposed to be one of those weeks where i was going to get serious. 

start fresh. get back into the swing of working out before the day job. 

list a few new items every night. read before bed. and get more sleep. 

so far i'm zero for zero. 

when my alarm went off extra early, i was astounded so i shut it off.

haven't had enough time {let alone energy} after the day job to list anything.

reading? hah!
{pretty sure the warning label on my bff, miracle anti-ager retin-a does not count}

regardless, i'm trying to get back on track. we're only half way through the week so that leaves me with another half to turn this beast around.

so, i'm starting off by sharing a few things with you:

a bit of pharmaceutical goods.

some gorgeous kaj franck.

a tin that i find ironic.

more gorgeous finel.

and a darling enamel tea kettle.

these are among the many treasures i shot over the weekend.

soon to be up in the shop.

i hope you enjoy the peeks.

there, i feel better now. 

see anything you like?

salvation from this is why you're fat.

clever indeed.

this is puma's new box. and bag. and salvation.

three years of development equal a 60% reduction

in water, fuel and energy consumption during just the manufacturing.

that's a big step.

and brilliant job making it aesthetically pleasing as well as ethically.

reworked at gizmodo.

nice buns

because i care so much about you,

i wanted to taste test these for you guys over the weekend.

just to make sure no one wastes a hard earned buck on bad treats.

again, just for you, i've taste tested these chocolate croissants from trader joe's.

found in the freezer section, ready to proof {rise} and bake.

you take them out before bed. {night night, little guys!}

when you wake up you are astounded by how much they have poofed.

and you think, oh mercy, i should have pulled out all four. what was i thinking?

and then you bake them for like twenty minutes

while you wash your face and brush your teeth.

perhaps put on a full pot of coffee for a good saturday tweek fest.

next thing you know these bad boys are done.

i was standing by with nutella and didn't even need it.

these are SO delicious.

perfect amount of chocolate. perfect amount of warm flakiness.

man, these are good.

this is not the kind of item you question at trader joe's.

these are the kind you make a special trip for.

{and subsequently get pissed because they're out}
did it just for you guys.
love ya.

black goes with everything.

i'm not much of a biker, but this is making me reconsider.

fully enclosed drivetrain and a wicked matte black design...

...and only $6,150.

pretty sweet for the 250 people rich enough to rock it.

steel running your veins.

nervous system makes my nervous system tingle.

they've really gone nuts with their new line xylem.

modeled after the veining in plant leaves...

and combining some new laws of geometry.

absolutely beautiful. love the intricacies.

we've covered these mad geniuses before...

grown at sub studio.

sometimes it's too simple.

why isn't this a standard feature?

you are brilliant beatus kopp.

cords be gone!

i also really love the smooth top, rough underside of the table.

hidden away at dezeen.

what's black and white and awesome all over?

it's newspaper wood!

created by mieke meijer and vij5.

you can make stuff out of it...

can be cut, milled or sanded.

and still retains the ultimate awesomeness of woodgrain.

this is very cyclical stuff.

tree > wood > pulp > paper > newspaper > newspaper wood > newspaper wood treehouse

who doesn't love brilliant music on a pseudo friday?

this is jónsi. [the one from sigur rós]

he counts as brilliant.
