5 Things I Love for Friday #97

Originally posted on January 11, 2008

  1. This LaCie External Hard Drive - Since when did external drives start looking like this? This is on some future sh*t, some Jetsons business right? Now I feel badly for my old externals. This thing makes them look like Ford Pintos in comparison. Nice design, Neil Poulton.
  2. Prepara’s Herb Savor - Okay, I’m sidestepping the terrible, punny name because of it’s elegant design. And the concept is pretty badass too. I grow some of my own herbs indoors, but realistically can’t grow them all (His Dogness™ already steals furtive bits of my mint and basil). This thing, if it works, sounds down right brilliant.
  3. Putting a dress pattern stencil on your newly painted vintage car - Sounds super-lame, right? Click and view for yourself. Apparently the thought was to take a vintage pattern from the ’60s to match the model year of the car. Helluva paint job and it looks pretty slick.
  4. Atmosphere’s Strictly Leakage free party album - Atmosphere has a special place in my heart because 1) they’re from the Midwest and have much love for Cincinnati and, 2) Slug isn’t exactly your typical MC. Seven’s Travels is a classic in my CD collection (thanks Tyler!) but this free holiday/party album has been in heavy rotation recently. And it’s free, c’mon. You can’t beat that.
  5. 3D tattoos - I’ve got no ink myself, but have a ton of respect and admiration for the artists that do the work. I had not seen some of these more three-dimensional styles before. Pretty neat. That lizard is surreal.
