We can’t wait to get our hands on the SS 2013 Post Street Little Nadine satchel we spotted at Kate Spade’s NYFW presentation. But, in the meantime, we’ve got our eyes square on these anything-but-ordinary Signature Spade Earbuds to replace yet another shitty pair of Apple iPhone buds tossed to the trash over our vacay. Now, where is that new Flying Lotus track that I can’t stop listening to…
We’re big into the innovative projects happening at Kickstarter. It’s truly a blast pledging for our favorite ideas and seeing them come to life. The TikTok and LunaTik >iPod Nano watch kits by MINIMAL have got to be the coolest gadgets of the year — certainly our favorite Kickstarter product to date…
What a kick-ass and creepy new video from totally-not-Japanese band, The Japanese Popstars!! The trio — Decky Hedrock, Gary Curran, and Gareth Donoghue — hail from Northern Ireland and have gathered a near-cultish following of fans in the few years since they began their musical collaboration. This latest video, for the track Lets Go off the Destroy EP, is illustrated by upcoming T-Shirt Tuesday-er…
“Artisanal” is a word that’s generously tossed around these days, but the craftsmen at Makr Carry Goods truly abide by the philosophy. Their bags and small leather goods are designed and crafted from start to finish by the Makr team – sketched, stained, laser etched, cut, stitched, buffed, waxed and detailed. No flashy logos or flamboyant shapes. No florid embellishments. Their signature is strong, understated design with a practical point of view.
Not that you should be tired of your fancy new iPhone 4G but, if you do have the patience of a newt and your device has lost its luster these lovely Scandinavian hard shells (with matching wallpaper and nifty stand/headphone wrap) from Focal Point Computers might just do the trick…
We went downright gaga for Twelve South’s Macbook BookBook cover and were checking the site for the design studio’s iPad version the other day when we came across this uber-gadget: the sleek, silicone-coated steel collapsible Compass iPad stand…
Although I try to delegate most of my iPadding to productive tinkering like to-do lists (Taksa), concept sketches (Adobe Ideas), blogging (WordPress), proposals (Pages), and keeping up with the times (NPR, BBC News, TIME Magazine, Paris Match…), it’s hard to resist the smattering of impeccably designed gaming apps available on my new favorite gadget…
Hard Graft Pocket iPad Sleeve
So, the best husband of the year award goes to YZ for the best birthday present ever: an iPad! After a month of tinkering with the gadget I’m only more in love with this gem from Apple, despite the Adobe vs. Apple controversy. Of course, such a swanky toy needs a good case to keep it safe and sound while in your bag so, here’s the Lo’s List round-up of the best sleeves, cases and iPad-centric bags I could find!
I’ve been ogling these goods for years now, back when Hard Graft® was still Working Class Heroes, and this Austrian-English creative team has only improved with the years. The show-stopper of the collection is by far their 2UNFOLD convertible laptop backpack, available in gray or brown Italian vegetable-tanned leather. Large enough to fit your Macbook, some mags, a jumper, your charger, etc, etc, this super-bag can be carried as a backpack, fold-over clutch, or messenger. The perfect amount of external pockets, elegant hardware, and a black cotton canvas lining are just three more reasons to wistfully count the days ’till the bag is yours.
While we wait for the iPad (ugh… I can barely say the name without wincing) to get with the times (no flash? really?) we’re happy to stick to our trusty Macbook Pro as a primary portable computing device. So, in honor of the good old dog, get yourself a BookBook, the stellar
