machinarium
27th January 2012
Si just bought me machinarium to play on the iPad. Yay!
If the awards are anything to go by (Best Indie Game of the Year, Best Soundtrack of the Year) and the creatures are as cute as the little guys on this wallpaper – I don’t think I’ll be doing much else this weekend!
Happy Friday everyone!

Here’s some New Year Lion Luck on a Friday afternoon courtesy of my awesome Dad.

Co.Design
27th January 2012
I’ve just been checking out the redesign over on Fast Company’s Co.Design site. I love their big, shiny images and awesome typography and it’s interesting that they redesigned with their sidebar more in mind.
This is definitely something I want to explore with BTN next month with a full redesign as well. I think I need to make more use of the side panels and get some extra information in there. Stay tuned.
Turquoise Silk Necklace

This turquoise silk necklace by Claire Sagnier is pretty awesome. Buy it over on the MOMA Store.
Land Down Under
26th January 2012
Happy Australia Day to all my friends and family in Oz!
I took this photo at Tamarama during Sculptures by the Sea. If anyone is ever in Sydney while it’s on (usually November time) be sure to check it out.
Kung Hei Fat Choi
26th January 2012
So here we are in the Year of the Dragon. Symbolising Yang and the male half of the universe, the Dragon is the only legendary animal of the Chinese Zodiac and considered to be the luckiest of all the zodiacs.
Happiness, wealth, longevity and Sun Leen Fai Lok to all my family and friends in Hong Kong!
iPod Nano Clock Faces
26th January 2012
I think I’m a little behind on this one, but these iPod Nano clock faces are cool. I love, love, love the Mickey Mouse one especially!
Oh Expletive!
25th January 2012
Oh Expletive! is a project by Safwat Saleem about “ass kicking and mayhem.” Unicorns, Zombies and 8-Bit creature fights – what more could you want?!
The Kickstarter project has already been fully backed and after asking for $3000 for screen print and t-shirt production costs, pledges so far have raised $22,655 which is incredible.
The video explaining the project is awesome – take a minute to watch it – and you can check out the rest of the designs over on the Oh Expletive! Kickstarter page.

Restore

I like this Restore storage basket made of recycled PET bottles. Too bad it costs £75!

Homemade is Best
25th January 2012
Ikea is one of my favourite shops in the whole world. I’m not ashamed to admit it and Si teases me about it all the time. When we moved to Cape Town and I realised we weren’t going to be able to stock the flat with things that had names like skårpt, klunsa and ribba I was sad!
However, to make up for my lack of Ikea over the last 2 years, I decided I’ll just have to buy their new cookbook Hembakat är Bäst (Homemade is Best). How awesome does it look!
Produced by ad agency Forsman & Bodenfors, photographed by Carl Kleiner and styled by Evelina Bratell, the beautiful images make me want to eat everything – including the ingredients before they’ve been cooked! Minimal cooking. I like.
Audrey Hepburn
23rd January 2012
Wow. I thought this shot of Audrey Hepburn by iconic British photographer Terry O’Neill was beautiful. Simple, sexy and so different from many of the portraits you usually see of her.
Terry O’Neill: Screen Sirens & Rock Rebels has unfortunately just finished at the Proud Galleries in London, but the exhibition is still available to view online here.
Drops Pouf
23rd January 2012
Don’t you just want to eat these? Drops Pouf by Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen are gorgeous. Check out her beautiful Drop Chair as well.
