Detail from an amazing poster by Allister Lee of Studio B.I.B (Black is Beautiful) of 500 Markers. It lovingly renders a huge variety of black markers from glass-barrel Magic Markers to Mini-Wides, Sakuras, and Sharpies. The poster is 42”x32”, printed on 80lb glossy paper. $35
Speed.Dial for iPhone is a clever little $0.99
Speed.Dial for iPhone is a clever little $0.99 application that let’s you add a “speed dial” icon for your most frequent numbers dialed. Perfect for making a one-touch “call home” button. I’ll definitely give this application a try.

Finally! The stapler of my dreams! This is my dream stapler and I found it in good working order at the antique mall. It has a flip plate to switch between staples that press inwards and outwards. I prefer my staples to go inwards but I’m sure there’s a good case for staples that splay outwards as well. Purchased at the River Market Antique Mall for less than $20.

William Gibson loves Field Notes
I love the idea of really well-designed, well-made, preferable simple, American-made (or Canadian-made) products, particularly if they have really smartly-designed websites that are entertaining to read. So here’s your product placement for this evening: Field Notes. Has a kind of American Muji thing going on, it seems to me.
(A little shout-out to Field Notes from one of my favorite authors, William Gibson.)
