Birthdayparty a la card
This eco friendly picnic set comes with wooden cutlery and a tray holds an untreated cardboard plate. A cupholder and a place to deposit fork and knife are also there, to keep a hand free to refill the plate. Due to these qualities the picnicset became a big hit for children´s birthday parties. And probably also because it is convenient, recycable, easy to dispose and also low priced: a pack of three sells for only 4,50 €.

How to Work Like the Masters
Don’t let someone else define your creative process. No matter how much the gurus know about the creative process and productivity, they aren’t you — because you are unique. Your muse and creative flow may be found in a completely different place.
Designs for Working | Malcolm Gladwell
The parallels between neighborhoods and offices are stiking. There was a time, for instance, when companies put their most valued employees in palatial offices, with potted plants in the corner and secretaries out front, guarding access. Those offices were suburbs – gated communities, in fact – and many companies came to realize that if their best employees were isolated in suburbs they would be deprived of public acquaintanceship, the foundations of public trust, and cross connections with the necessary people.
I just stumbled upon this fantastic New Yorker article by Malcolm Gladwell from 2000: Why your bosses want to turn your new office into Greenwich Village (PDF)
tapedeck.org
Tapedeck.org is a project of neckcns.com, built to showcase the amazing beauty and (sometimes) weirdness found in the designs of the common audio tape cassette. There’s an amazing range of designs, starting from the early 60’s functional cassette designs, moving through the colourful playfulness of the 70’s audio tapes to amazing shape variations during the 80’s and 90’s.

The People’s 311
The People’s 311 is a public photo pool documenting non-emergency 311 conditions throughout New York City. We encourage citizens to post photos here of dangling traffic signs, illegal advertising, dead or dying street trees and the like, along with their locations. People’s 311 is an unofficial companion to 311 and not a replacement for it. It aims to show the potential of crowdsourcing as a way to help solve selected government problems efficiently.

I am blown away by Andrew Zuckerman’s Photography. But not only his photography is amazing, his portfolio site is uber-stylish as well. Yay to white space! I especially love his giant OK button before you enter his site.
