Firefox is having a bit of gender confusion. The results are in, and it turns out i’m actually a boy! ( In case you didn’t know i am in fact “a laaaady” ). So as you can imagine that news came as a bit of a surprise.

Apparently by comparison i surf in a much more butch manner on my work machine than my home machine. Statistically speaking i’m a good 10% more butch at work Why is that huh ? Is it all the grot you Poke boys send round ? haha.

Test yourself here with Mike’s special formula! It’s pretty interesting.

Seen on It’s Green Design. Grass FlipFlops developed by MisChief for Krispy Kreme (??)

“Each shoe has over 5,000 blades of grass and, if regularly tended to and watered, can last for over four months. We’re giving them away to stressed out commuters so they can relax in their own mini-park.”

They follow on nicely from the Green Grass Man and the Perpetual Grass Pavement! I think maybe grassy armchairs in the park next ?

Nymph, Lycia, & Miniformiga, centipede-like lamps. I love this top white one. Would look great on my desk But gosh it’s quite expensive! More lovely luminous critters over at Site Specific Design.

More good stuff from Afroditi! The dating hand stamp. Grab someone’s hand, one shake and your phone number’s inked on for the morning ; )

Interesting floating lamp concept from Afroditi. I like that you can extend the height really simply. They’d be perfect to light a space for Sock Monster making workshops! Would be great to use a huge cloud of them.

Cool rugs made of strips of thick felt assembled to make random patterns. One even looks as though it might have LEDs in it. Floor lighting. I like it! I found these while rummaging through the Sub Studio blog that’s chocca with nicely considered and unusual furniture and lighting designs. The rugs are the work of Yvonne Laurysen at Lama. Some nice simple furniture on there too.

So Good! Wish my lunch came like this Cheers for the link Iain!

Here’s some Lomos i took on my recent trip to hook up with my lovely Cookie and his buddy Paul as they attempt to walk the full length of America in 6 months. Mental or what! ? I met up with them in Colorado for a couple of weeks and here’s some shots of them about camp and in action on the trail. The scenery was unbelievable. I had no idea it would be so beautiful. Find out all about the epic adventure and track Cookie and Paul’s progress in the second half here. You can sponsor them too Only half a penny per mile!

All of these are so nice. Blah Blah Blanket is my favourite. Well … and the clouds! More here. And also a page of critters too! All products by the wonderfully talented Donna Wilson. Cheers Gemma for the hot link!

There’s something really wonderful about these. I love the shiny black rhino one. Such weird shapes. Brilliant! Found over at Vive Le Freak. Always so much cool and eclectic stuff over there. I salute you! Dipstick Art is by Nick Von Woert lots more to see there too

Lovely graphic illustration and typography on the LaMosca site. Airport scene above, was featured in an issue of Monocle i remember. Great colours. Great type treatment and layout above too. Lots to look at here but love this poster for a Barcelona music festival.

Moth wing textures. Nice : ) Via Ffffound.

From Brassier over at Wool, Love and Stitches. He looks kinda mean.

Allan Sanders’ animation for South London band The Bridport Dagger and their single Magpie’s Nest. Allan has a great portfolio of illustration work with a mix of both 50’s retro and hand-drawn feel. There’s too much good stuff to show here so go there and have a look yourself ;) 

A grizzly fate befell rabbit. Impaled on his own dinner. An unfortunate way to go. More guts and gore here including a self decapitating teddy, a crochet zimmer-frame, and dentures in a jar
