London Delft Tableware

London Delft Tableware
I don't know why I'm so facinated with street art.  Maybe it was my three years living in Los Angeles.  Some things just stick... like the Lakers.  But I love graffiti.  I mean how many times can I post about Banksy.  So, when I came across these on JS, I had to throw something up here.

When Maria and I were getting married, we went and registered like every greedy good couple is supposed to.

Tech's Top 10 Workspaces

As the corporate landscape shifts to attract new young minds, companies are recognizing the importance of the working environment and spending accordingly.  It's reported that Google spent over $70 Million to feed it's employees last year.  Google even invites the families of employees to visit Googleplex when workers have to stay late.  Not surprisingly, Google ended up in Valleywag's Tech's Top 10 Workspaces.

Mr. Green in the Hall with the....
Clue

Recently I posted about tricked out game tables and it looks like the move has shifted to board games as well.  Restoration Hardware is offering a Premier Edition Clue with " nine sunken rooms, each rendered in precise detail, right down to the furnishings."  I loved Clue when I was a kid and there aren't many things funnier than Tim Curry in the 1985 movie rendition. I don't know if I could drop $149 on a board game though.... unless maybe it was Candy Land.

Tyler mentioned a sadistic version of Operation before.  What was your favorite board game when you were a kid?

The home your books deserve...
Rainbow Bookshelf

So, if you're looking for a creative way to organize your books, the above shot may do the job.  Instead of organizing by author, title, or subject... organize by cover.  Even for a color-blind guy like me, it's still pretty cool.  Of course you could go out and choose from the ubersweet bookshelves like the ones below or the rest found over at Freshome.

And of course we can't forget my personal fav... Cory you must get this so I can come over and frustrate Tony.


If you could have any game "tricked out"... what would it be and what would it look like?

The Pound is Killing Me
NEWDESIGNSFORMATION.JPG With the exchange rates the way they are, I'm surprised we've lasted this long over here in the United Kingdom.  Now, not only is the pound strong but it's gonna look good.  The new designs, slated to be minted this year, are visually engaging.  What's even more incredible is that the new designs are the result of a nation-wide contest which began in August 2005 and attracted 4,000 entries. The winning designer is 26-year-old Matthew Dent, originally from Bangor who now lives and works in London as a graphic designer.

Bedroom in a Box
This isn't really practical for a family man such as myself but for those singles out there who tend to move around quite a bit, this might just be for you. As regulars to DanisLinus know, I love great design and this is great design. Introducing the Casulo. "Designed by Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlhäuser, the small box unpacks into bed, desk, seating, book shelf and wardrobe."

Pimp Your Tech

We like to customize everything. From ordering your trendy one-of-kind latte to creating your own shoes through Puma's Mongolian Shoe BBQ, we want the ability to mark our stuff with our own brand. Now you can take that expensive new Christmas gift like your MacBook or iPhone and pimp it out with your own stamp of personality. Engrave is a Portland based laser-engraving company that is taking their business online. Depending on the unit, it will cost you somewhere between $25 and $150. The results are beautiful in my opinion and it doesn't void your warranty since the modification is only cosmetic.
