The watches designed by Uniform Wares are minimalism at it’s truest and most beautiful. “Uniform Wares produces timepieces intended for everyday use by individuals with an eye for meticulous design details.” I like the idea of having a uniform for myself, and these timepieces would definitely make the cut.

This is a genius little tool for any web designer or developer. I do have to say I am not super into the design itself, but I can get over that because Launchlist fills such a cool gap. Basecamp should take note on and employ some rad interactive checklists!

I have been thinking of trying to start investing some of my savings for a while, but was unsure of which online tool to use. Being far from savy with stocks and bonds and all that stuff presents it as quite a challenge to successfully invest your money without paying a broker to do it for you. Plantly on the other hand gives you the tools to understand the risk before you invest and visualize the possible growth scenarios. I for one cannot wait for Plantly to come out of beta.

I have always loved motorcycles, specifically custom machined ones, but have I gotten bored with the contemporary style and culture surrounding them. This look inside the work of Shinya Kimura seems to have changed those feelings. He has found serenity in his work and the connection to the world that he achieves when riding his creations. “It feels nothing like how violent it looks from the outside.” This quote really says so much about both the freedom of riding motorcycles, as well as the personal level of thinking that Kimura has taken it to. Learn more about Kimura at Chabott Engineering.

The tag line for the DBA Pen is awesome (“Think before you write.”). The statement they have made with this slogan brings up the fact that we need to think about being environmentally conscious beyond driving a hybrid car and recycling. Plus this pen looks like a refined version of that classic Uniball pen that I have always liked to write with.

The long awaited Teux Deux app for iPhone released yesterday and I think I can speak for everyone when I say Teux Deux has officially changed my life for a second time. This is the first of what will hopefully be a series of collaborations between swissmiss (amazing swiss designer gone nyc and famed blogger) and Fictive Kin (creative web-developing powerhouse). You can grab the app. for stiflingly cheap $2.99 in the iTunes app. store. So go get your productivity on!
I am so excited to start using Lookwork the new bad ass visual RSS reader and image-bookmarking service by the talented Ben Pieratt. Ben besides running his awesome multifaceted studio is also the genius behind svpply. Both these web based tools are visually stunning, with extremely intuitive and simplified user experience. If you have not tried them or at least checked them out you definitely should. I love how seamlessly they unify with your browser to elevate functionality.
