Bags

Bloody hell. I'd love to visit this shop in the meatpacking district in NYC. Designed by architect Jeremy Barbour, boutique OWEN features approximately 25,000 brown paper bags. Nice.

Queues

This fabulous Queue Hacker app was designed with me in mind.

The brief for the idea was given to the students of a three week course in Creative Problem Solving at Hyper Island, by my favourite agency DARE and the UK Post Office.

Smart thinking.

Oh my lord.  So beautiful.

Fabulous desktop organiser from IKEA.  Great idea.

Haught

Well, I bloomin' love this blog:

When I sent my email to Yarra Trams, I imagined an overworked 21 year-old on their ninety-eighth email of the day (at ten past nine in the morning) scanning my email, seeing the word ‘poo’ and bringing up the “excrement-fouled tram’ template.

I imagined wrong.

What I got was nothing short of genius. Not a template at all – a real letter written by a real person. A talented person. A person I now want to meet and drink beer with and possibly give a little kiss to at the end of the evening (and I fully realise Sam may well be a man).

Click here to read the fabulous letter he's talking about.

Flemish

Sorry, but this is fucking brilliant.

To pass time during one long-haul flight, Nina Katchadourian spent time in the lavatory creating Flemish-like costumes using toilet paper, tissues and toilet seat covers.

In her self-portrait series, entitled “Seat Assignment: Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style”, Katchadourian made several trips to the bathroom to create Flemish-style costumes and photograph them with her camera phone.

Arcade

Caine Monroy is a 9-year old boy who spent his summer vacation building an elaborate DIY cardboard arcade in his dad’s used auto parts store.  This film tells the story of Caine’s Arcade, and how someone tried to make Caine’s day.
