I share a fascination for wallmounted handdryers with Doug Wilson.

Have a dressy dress you are no longer wearing?
A friend of mine, a teacher on Long Island, just emailed me about her efforts to help needy graduating seniors get to the prom. She is looking for donations of dressy dresses that the girls could wear. If you have a dress you no longer can use, or know anyone that does, please consider a donation. We need all sizes, including plus size. We will let the girls have a “shopping” day in our resource room. Dresses that are not selected will be donated to charity or held for next year’s prom.
Email me if you have a dressy dress to donate and I will connect you with my friend. Thanks so much! Feel free to spread the word!

swissmiss as a graph
The above image is a representation of ‘swissmiss’ as a graph. It had a meditative, almost therapeutic feel to sit here and watch the graph grow. Nice find, Benedikt!
filemagazine.org | a collection of unexpected photography
FILE publishes images that treat subjects in unexpected ways. Alternate takes, unconventional observations, odd angles — the photographs in the collection reinterpret traditional genres.
“in the pocket baby”
In the pocket baby seems to be a kids-chair-harness system for on the go. I don’t speak a word of swedish so I just go by the pictures… Looks cool!
magnetic kids
Magnetic Kids are magnetic paper dolls, hand-drawn by Brooklyn based illustrator/animator Gaia Cornwall and printed on 30 mil magnetic paper. Currently, the line includes five Kids, four Pets and twelve different Outfits. Maia donates 10% of the net profits to charitable organizations that benefit children.
I would certainly have loved to play with these as a kid. Check them out at Magnetickids.com
spacesaving designs by Stephen Procter
I am all for minimal and collapsable furniture. I rejoiced when I discovered this spacesaving highchair!
gordon waltho | young and talented
I had the pleasure to meet some amazingly talented young designers today at the ADC National Student Portfolio Reviews. I must say, I was floored by some of the quality of the work. Here’s one of the young talents that caught my eye: Gordon Waltho.
simply colors | personalised clothing for babies and children
I am completely gaga over this dutch online service called “simply colors‘. Why? It lets you create your own shirts/hoodie… and preview it right away. I am all about instant gratification. Oh, but wait, what about the crucial wait until the mailman shows up with it at my doorstep… (sigh) And in case you’re wondering, yes, they deliver to the US!
(one thing though, they seriously feature ‘comic sans’ as one of the font options. Outch, thats wrong!)
foonz – free (cellphone) conference calling
With Foonz you can get a group of people on a call instantly or leave them all a message from your cell or home phone, anytime, without pre-planning. It’s easy to get started. Set up a free account here and add people to your foonz contact list. Then dial the “foonz number” you’ll get when you sign up and start a free group call or leave a group message! When you start a group call, foonz instantly “invites” people to join your call by sending a text message to their cell phones. They simply dial the number in the text to automatically join your call! A group can be any size. If you don’t have time for a call, you can record a message for the whole group and foonz will invite them to call in and hear your message.

SENZ umbrella
The aerodynamic SENZ umbrella claims to resists storms up to wind force 10! It looks intruigingly odd! Umbrella-man, is this for you?

music orb
With a turn of the elegantly shaped key, “Voi Che Sapete,” from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, emanates from inside of this wooden ball. The 18-note chime plays whether it is rolling across the floor or decoratively resting on its small metal ring.
Beautiful!
