I bought some 15 dollar, stupid, designy, keychain pocket pen that attaches/detaches with an embedded magnet in it. Well the magnet wasn’t strong enough and kept falling off. Now it’s gone. I need a pen on me at all times, and having a full size one in pocket can get annoying, especially when bike riding. So I cut down a bic pen. And it’s great. And didn’t cost anything. Inspiration:

I added a new DIY project to the list on the right, my helmet-mounted bicycle lights. 
Went to the thrift store yesterday and saw some interesting products. 
This was my favorite. It’s a Kodak 35mm compact camera that folds into its own compact case. Why aren’t more electronics like this?
Ok I wouldn’t call this really inspiring, just… something. It’s a folding table with a built-in outlet. Any idea what this is used for?
This is an entertainment console. I appreciated the simple joinery and doesn’t rely on any complex hardware to put it together.
Just wanted to share a quick picture of the December snow in New York. This is Henry Hudson Parkway from the 18th floor. Click on image for larger size.
This is my foam mock up of my re-design of a desktop tape dispenser, so far. More to come later when I paint it and add MAAGGNETS. Stay tuned.
