Photoshop Magnet Kit for a Design Nuts’ Fridge

If you love Photoshop and own a fridge, these magnets might be for you. It’s a sure fire way to make any photo you post on your fridge look Photoshopped.

What else can I say about Photoshop magnets except that I am disappointed they didn’t include a magnet for the cursor. Next maybe I’ll create some photoshop banners to hang throughout the house. Yup. I’m a nerd.

Make your own mini watermelons for summer, with lime and jell-o

It’s a rarity to find something so inventive that it transcends gadgets and gets posted here, but this one definitely is one more gadget:

Mini watermelons are just another neat little jello craft idea for summer that I like. If you remember the orange ones featured in my top things from 2008, they are pretty much just like that, but red. And with limes. And look like watermelons.

The Recipe:

Petite Watermelons

2 limes

1 small box of red Jello

mini chocolate chips
(those become the seeds!) If you are anatomically correct I might also recommend using white chocolate chips for the white seeds (you’re welcome Martha).

Cut both limes in half lengthwise.
Scoop out all the fruit with a spoon.
Place the limes in a muffin tin to keep them from tipping over.
Make the box of Jello according to the Jiggler directions.
Carefully spoon Jello into the limes halves.
Chill until almost firm.
Using a skewer push the mini chocolate chips into the Jello for “watermelon seeds.”
Chill until until firm, then cut into slices.

There you have it!

Kudos to Chocolate Cranium who was nice enough to share this “gadget-like” recipe.

New York City Sewer Floor Rug is the definition of Urban Design

Is it just me, or is this awesome?

The N.Y.C. Sewer Rug is possibly the coolest floor rug I have ever seen. Not only do you get to wake up in the middle of the night and wonder if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be sneaking into your house, you’ll also have a great reason for not picking up after yourself and a great explanation for all the rats in your apartment. It’s so cool, it’s worth long sentences.

Think about it.

If for some strange reason you don’t heart New York City, they also come in other designs for other cities, like San Fransisco, and Boston. These would look pretty cool in a loft, or, if you’re a Turtle, on your ceiling.

Pantone Espresso Coffee Mugs are perfect for Designers and um yah, pretty sweet

picture-31

These Pantone Coffee Mugs are the perfect gifts for designers. They even come with saucers so you can feel a little more “British”. I’m putting “British” in quotes cause it’s ironic. No one really wants to be “British”, that’s just silly. The ones featured above are from a new set called Espresso. I’m guessing because the colours look like that of an Espresso. But you decide.

Anyway, these mugs are basically on the wishlist of every Graphic Designer because solid colours are sexy. If you haven’t noticed, they are the “in” thing. Just like accents. They also come in other sexy colours that are less “coffee-like” and less “British-like” just in case you don’t have an accent or you don’t like coffee.

Like these for example:

But if you ask me, the only real mug worth getting is the orange one. Cause it’s orange. And it’s awesome. And if I were you, I’d fill that bad boy up with some Vanilla Steamed Milk. Mmm. Vanilla Steamed Milk. Arghugguhghugh.
