ICON Prints by DKNG Studios
The idea behind the ICON project, as told by designers Nathan Goldman and Dan Kuhlken: “Every film has one. A signature prop, set, or location. Something that, in a single image, can represent the entire movie. With this in mind, they created 50 geometric prints of iconic places and things from various films and TV shows.

Frontier Organic Ground Ceylon Cinnamon
Up until recently, I've been happily buying saigon cinnamon to sprinkle on oatmeal and toast (and sometimes my coffee). That is, until I heard that out of all the cinnamon varieties out there, saigon contained by far and away the highest levels of the liver-damaging substance coumarin. Yikes. The type of cinnamon with the least coumarin is known as ceylon—also known as…

Hugo’s Amazing Tape
Hugo's Amazing Tape is a reusable, adhesive-less tape that clings only to itself. I've heard it's popular with board gamers and embroiderers who need to keep a lot of small items neatly organized, but since it's so easy to remove and reuse, it's also quite useful around the house and office. These are just a few of its uses: Cable management (more…
Brinno Construction Time Lapse Camera
The school I work at built a new playground over the summer. We wanted a simple way to record the process in order to build a time-lapse video after it was built. The Brinno BCC100 Construction Time Lapse Camera was the absolute perfect tool for the job. It runs off 4 AAA batteries that last 78 days. It records onto an included 4 GB SD…
SF Cable Ultraflat CAT6 Ethernet Cable
For all the greatness of Wi-Fi, wired ethernet is typically faster and more stable. In my new house, I had CAT6 ran to every TV location to hardwire all of my Rokus. In one of the rooms, we decided that we wanted to swap the TV location to another part of the room. I ordered a 45-foot roll of flat CAT6 cable.…
