Dunk Mug
by Josh Rubin
Who doesn't love a little biscuit to dunk in his coffee? Dominic Skinner must because he designed this mug to hold them neatly inside the bottom. He was even smart enough to make right and left handed versions so there's no worry of losing your cookies while taking a sip.
SHHH!
by Josh Rubin
Heidi of Coudal Partners came up with this snappy little solution to dealing with obnoxious cell phone users. The .pdf includes several different versions of a card that you can print, cut out and hand to cell yellers. Brought to you by SHHH! The Society for HandHeld Hushing.
Millau Viaduct
by Josh Rubin
The Millau Viaduct recently opened up in France and was inaugurated by the French President Jacques Chirac. It was designed by the English architect Lord Norman Foster. It's the highest bridge in the world measuring at 343 meters (1125.33 ft) and creates a direct route between Paris and the Mediterranean coast using only seven slender pillars. So the next time I find myself road trippin through Europe, I’ll let you know how awe-inspiring this beautiful bit of architecture really is. Better yet, since the odds of me traveling through Europe are about as likely as 90 degree day in nyc in dec, if you see it, be sure to drop me a line and tell me how it went in person.
