Going all out for license plate vanity

Super fans and cravers of attention will love this. AfroJacks photo gallery of bizarre license plates. Oh the humor, especially on road-trips.

I’m Just Along For The Ride

Since seeing them play 8 days ago on a chilly evening, Si Claro has claimed a space in my temporal lobe. Their a-side “Static on the Station” is the perfect soundtrack for your late night trip to nowhere in particular, windows rolled down and the brisk air peppering your arms with goosebumps.

Si Claro- Static on the Station

Do-Tell: Christine Huang, PSFK

Christine Huang has your dream job. She’s the managing editor at PSFK, a trends company whose mission is to inform new ideas in design, social media and innovation. PSFK also consults with heavy hitters like Apple, BBC, NBC, Target…did I already mention Apple? Oh, and they also publish books that make my top ten list and host international meetups. Yes, Christine is a super-hero and we’re all jealous. Here’s what she’s excited about lately:

  1. The new Green Depot on Bowery in NYC. It’s a Home Depot for the eco-conscious consumer. I especially like the cleaning products on tap, where you can get refills of your Green Depot cleaning products from a beer tap like dispenser. Really clever! 
  2. JR’s humungous photo exhibit in Kenya. The photographer took pics of women from the slum in Kiberia and covered trains and rooftops with the enormous, blown up portraits. The photos also serve as another layer of covering for the shacks they cover.

Framed vintage cameras is the way to go!

Forget the shelf, put your old cameras in frame and on display. I love this idea. [via Apartment Therapy]

WTF the iPhone App

WhatTheFont is an iPhone application that allows you to take a quick snapshot of a font you dig from a magazine, poster or billboard and identify that font right then and there. I’ll definitely be using this to help my own creative pursuits. And yes- it’s free.
