Eastpak Catch-All, Carry-All Backpack Sofa
The geek meters on this thing are off the charts. Cool idea, though.
Ray-Ban 6182 Eyeglass Frame
I finally found a frame I'm satisfied with, after having lost my original pair of eyeglasses on a flight a few weeks ago (they no longer make this frame). I've also got a backup frame on hand, the Ray-Ban 5163, should I lose another pair.

On Banknote Design for Wired's "The Future of Money"
Aegir Hallmundur:
The design of banknotes represent something I find gloriously poetic — imperfect perfection — if it was perfect by our usual standards, it would be imperfect. Wonderful. So tried to capture some of that in my design, overlaying colours with an offset, adjusting the lettering a little bit to reflect the kind of oddities on real dollar notes and creating the odd layer of extra guilloche-work barely fine enough to see.

"Sky", a Timelapse Short Film by Philip Bloom
