Knight Rider: The Complete Series
Defo a Must-have! Well, maybe not a must-have. But it is pretty cool! I used to watch Knight Rider all the time. David Hasselhoff is amazing. I got a dedicated Hasselhoff Spotify playlist! I never listen to it. Anyway, a nice collection and kinda fun to have! It ain’t on my “to buy-list”, but maybe it’s on yours now? You can get it here.

The Best Free Fonts of 2010
You should get these fonts! Why? Well, they are free! And of high quality. Great fonts can be really expensive, like the Akzidenz Grotesk font. A biiiiit pricey. Juuuust a bit. So anyway, my point is - Grab the great free fronts when you got the chance.

Tea Bags, Behave!
Tea-Code tea cup from Kedo Tired of tea bags misbehaving, swinging crazily around - all wet and sticky - slapping you in the face? Here is the solution! These awesome “sleeve” tea cups from Kedo got a button on them to which you can secure the tea bag - Genius! And the cups do look rather smart too, I might add. I would love to have a set of these.

Polaroid For Your iPhone
ShakeItPhoto! Another sweet app for your iPhone. Aaah, the good old days of polaroid pictures. They were really crappy. But they had a certain charm to them. Remember how you shook them to make them develop faster? Well, you can do that on the iPhone too! Cool detail. Probably completely unnecessary. I am just making a wild guess. It MIGHT be very necessary.

R. Kelly-The World's Greatest Beatbox Version
This guy is just awesome. He records all the beats and strings, the full choire and the main vocal individually, and finally puts it all together into one song. Then he shoots himself while singing each and every part over again, and here you see the end result.  You can see the making of this video right here.

Douglas Hammers
THE Hammer of the 21st Century! A hammer designed for the professional, but also great for any do-it-yourselfer who wanna hammer in STYLE. I LIKE it. And I want it! I’m not much of a carpenter, but I sure can hang pictures up on the wall. And I do that often. Maybe.. every other year or so. In conclusion: I need this hammer badly!

Organize Your Desk
With Desk DOTS Desk DOTS are super powerful ceramic magnets that can hold together even with lots of material between them. I bet you haven’t seen too many organize their desks this way. I haven’t. And therefore I assume that’s the norm! I’d like a few of these to do some organizing in a different way. Or… just play with them. You can put them together to form...

LaCie USB Flash Drive
“I Am a KEY” Yeah, that’s right, LaCie. A KEY! You’re a key. Pretty cool looking flash drive. Great thing about it is it can take a good beating. You can treat it like any other key. Don’t worry about breaking it as it’s solidly built, and water and scratch proof.

Kor One Water Bottles
Drink water in style Cool water bottles from Kor. These right here are the “Special Editions”. They are BPA-free, and will not make your water taste like plastic. Now, at first I thought the bottles would be great to carry around when in the city or whatever, BUT(!) they are quite big actually. So not that “carry-around-friendly” after all. They do have a capacity of 750...

NOT Edible! Ha-ha! You saw that joke coming. VERY funny. Ok, so… Bench Cookies. I am continuing with the very, very manly theme here. Tools and stuff. Oh yeah. These are great though. You can forget the old clamps, and just secure whatever you’re working on with these. Countless areas of use. And they are cheap! $12 a pack.

We need to let them know! It is our duty. A few examples of tickets:
