The Move-It Kit uses cardboard to move cardboard

Posted in: Uncategorized

pCouple weeks ago I bought a 16″ fan, and I carried a knife with me to the store. The knife wasn’t to negotiate the price: Whenever I have to carry a large cardboard box home that I know is too big to fit into a plastic bag, I save the shop some twine by bringing a knife. I then cut a slit into the top that looks like this, |____|, basically three sides of a rectangle, and push that part into the box, making a convenient handle./p

pOf course this only works with items you can carry with one arm; for heavier stuff, the Move-It Kit looks like it might be a good solution. It’s basically an all-cardboard series of add-ons that turns your average cardboard box into a carry-on suitcase. Check it out:/p

Cooper Union and the Type Directors Club Collaborate on Type Design Certification Program

Posted in: Uncategorized

The Cooper Union has just announced a collaboration between their Continuing Education Department and the Type Directors Club, who will be working together on the first US-based certification program for typeface design. Type@Cooper will begin in the fall, running two nights per week between October and December. The certification is divided into three terms which will fill an entire year, wherein there will be a mix of hands-on workshops, lectures, and research projects, as well as guest speakers coming in throughout the terms. Here’s a bit:

“Before the Continuing Education Department of The Cooper Union and TDC partnered, there were no real options in New York for professionals seeking to take an in-depth program in typeface design. The only serious Typeface Design program alternatives were being offered abroad,” said Charles Nix, Chairman of the TDC Board and Chair TDC Education Committee. “The certificate program is unique in its scope and structure and opens a new door of opportunities for professionals, where an industry void currently exists in this country. The Typeface Design Certificate Program will give graphic designers and type practitioners the tools they need to innovate and create by learning from industry luminaries such as Roger Black.”

Applications are being accepted until the end of the month, so if you’re game, get moving.

pThis week, Graham Hill, founder of Treehugger, a href=”http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/08/full-sized-urban-bicycle-folds-flat-nearly-disappears-the-thinbike-slideshow.php”introduces his ThinBike/a, a flat folding, full-size, ghostly white urban bicycle that goes from 22 inches across to less than 8, perfect for stashing behind the front door without so much as a grease mark (yes, this thing has a carbon belt drive, requiring no lubrication). /p

pGraham worked closely with a href=”http://www.schindelhauerbikes.com/”Schindelhauer/a to custom spec a bike that would make Graham’s urban cyclist dreams come true, tracking down a key piece to the puzzle: Speedlifter’s Twist handlebars, that lock to the side when not in use. The pedals also fold, and, at 18 lbs, corners and stairs are probably no real obstacle./p

Label Love: Falling for Enza Costa’s Simple Summer Looks

Posted in: Uncategorized

Impress with less. It’s time to simplify your life and fall in love with what really matters. There’s something really inviting about a sexy, simple cut. When searching for that effortless look, there’s no better way to go then with already loved styles. Take a look at what Enza Costa has to offer this season. An array of pieces all geared towards the gal who’s looking to simplify her life and get rid fo all things complicated. First of all, you can never have too much of a good thing, so loading up on basics is always a great idea! Not only are these styles cute, but Enza Costa adds a little extra something to keep things from looking too ordinary. Take the Sleeveless Asymmetrical Top, for instance. An ordinary tank top with a touch of goddess attitude: flowing sides that taper at the bottom. Feminine pieces with just the right amount of flare. I’m really feeling this collection. Are you?

Il suo nome dipende dal fatto che l’allarme non emette nessun suono ma vibrazioni. Il design è semplice e curioso, il display pare sia touchscreen e retroilluminato a led ma non ho ben capito tutte le sue funzionalità. Cmq, esiste per davvero e lo trovate in vendita qui.
