So Yesterday
by Josh Rubin
So Yesterday. It's an adventure mystery about a teenage cool hunter who stumbles upon the most amazing sneakers ever. Needless to say, I was skeptical. I finally got around to reading it (cover to cover in flight from San Francisco to New York) earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised. Westerfeld's witty yet simple writing weaves a fun story with a bit of cool hunting education. Intrigued, I wanted to know more about Scott. He was happy to give me this interview:
Tumi Mountain Pack
by Josh Rubin
Tumi continues to push outward and upward-- this time with a mountain climbing pack that looks just as good in the Sea of Tranquility as it does on the top of Mt. Hood. Their VP of Design, Timm Fenton, is an avid mountain climber and created this pack specifically for a climb in South America this Winter. The ultralight pack has a 5000 cubic inch capacity, but the radical materials keep the weight under 6.5 pounds.
This December it will be available, in a limited edition of 125 units, at Tumi stores and on their site for $595.
More details after the jump.

ConQwest
by Josh Rubin
ConQwest is a Big Urban Game of the same ilk as PacManhattan. Basically a treasure hunt, high schoolers find Semacodes (an evolved form of the bar code), photograph them with their camera phones, and send them in to HQ for points. The winning school gets a $5000 check from Qwest.
If you're in Salt Lake City tomorrow or Phoenix on 7 November, check it out!
