LTD Magazine
(24 March 2006) - After a two year hiatus LTD, the Limited Edition magazine about limited edition things, is back. Featuring products, people and fashion LTD focuses on stories about stuff that's typically too under the radar for other publications to pick up.

(MALIN + GOETZ) Synthesized Lotus
(16 March 2006) - I don't usually wear a scent—they typically give me a headache or make me sneeze. A couple months back I dropped in on our friends at (MALIN + GOETZ) and they gave me a preview of their new pair of unisex scents, Synthesized Lotus Root and Rum Tonic. Lotus Root, or Sophisticated Hippie as I've been calling it, really stuck in my head. Combining...

360-degree plug outlets
(08 March 2006) - These outlets have already made the rounds, but such an ingenious solution to a common annoyance deserves note here. The story goes like this: Some bright chaps in Salt Lake City invented a solution to the low functionality of most electrical outlets by creating a socket that can rotate a full 360-degrees, allowing us to use our electrical devices from 18 different angles. Standard...

Rock N' Clothing Tees
(03 March 2006) - The collectable desirability of vintage Rock and Roll t-shirts nears that of sneakers. In the case of the Rock shirts however, the thinner and closer the garment is to the end of its life the better. A Mötley Crüe tee, owned by a slightly chubby and sadly misunderstood teenager, only to be used later by her mother to clean toilets, simply adds to the...

Needled: SkinBag
(01 March 2006) - Skin-deep fashion gets literal with these synthetic skin accessories made by French artist Olivier Goulet. Marisa wrote about them today on Needled, pointing out that the totes, purses, laptop sleeves, belts, and bracelets can be customized with tattoos and piercings.

Welcome Squid Overlords
(03 February 2006) - Take me to your leader. Monday night I heard the most esteemed and funny neurologist Oliver Sacks speak at Columbia (he is a super naturalist: into ferns, squids, cuttlefish and stereopsis). It was a fascinating lecture, but his Welcome Squid Overlords shirt transfixed me. It was so strange, I had to find its meaning. Was it from an episode of Star Wars that I...

Stop Talking
(20 January 2006) - Who hasn't at one time wished for a simple way to put the kibbosh on chatty types who never seem to run out of things to say? Ironically, this 25-card deck from Set Editions is more likely to be used as a conversation starter than as an actual handout to offenders. But meta-logorrhea is at least funnier than simply being pathologically talkative. Printed on...

Mounds [Placemats]

Introducing avant-garde Brazilian-New Yorker Vik Muniz' special edition placemat set, featuring appetizing photographs of mounds of, well... cat hair, aspirin, headless army men, poison scorpions, rat poison, and even... granola. Shudder. Printed and packaged by the folks at Printed Matter, Inc. in Manhattan, VM has...

Bottle Cap Tripod
(16 January 2006) - Well, it's more of a monopod than a tripod, but you get the point. This handy little thing screws on to the mouth of common-sized bottles to offer a stable base for your digital camera. Obviously it works best with smaller, lighter cameras and shorter, fatter bottles—regardless, it's better than the balancing act I've resorted to on numerous occasions. $19.99 at semsons.com via Swiss...
