There’s nothing like a bear hug

Mandatory I Love You Day is coming up fast, but I wanted to share some rad posters by 3 Fish Studios in case you want to proclaim your love for your favorite state (if it’s California or Oregon). This is just a small sampling of prints I dig in their store from video game controllers, to street signs and food trucks. And if you happen to be local to SF, these guys offer Linocut Printmaking Classes where you can turn your favorite images into prints. How can you say no to DIY?

For the love of headphones and less clutter…

This might be the best looking solution to leaving headphones on your desk. It’s called the Machook and beautifully designed by Workerman. Best of all, it adheres to the top of your iMac with nano-suction technology, that means it is easily removable and won’t leave a sticky residue behind. Just might have to pick one of these up.

I seriously dig you

This would make a great Valentines Day gift. It’s made from a copper dog tag hand stamped letter-by-letter with a brass trowel charm and comes with an antique brass split ring. Available on Etsy for $14.95. Dig it!

It’s not often I say hold the guacamole

My love affair with burritos began in college after discovering Anna’s and Felipe’s in Boston. It was convenient, inexpensive and downright delectable. Not surprisingly, it led to me moving to San Diego (well, part of the reason anyways). And although SD can’t really be beat, SF burritos are nothing to scoff at either. Today though, Photojojo has taken burrito culture to the next level with the Photorito Lens Wrap, a protective cover for your lens that looks like a tortilla. Sure, I work for these guys, but this product is too rad not to make a huge fuss over.

Expletive appropriate f-bomb paperweight

It’s never easy dropping truth bombs in the office. But “f” bombs? Always explosive fun! Fred Conlon’s recycled steel sculpture lightens up desk-side chats and tough conversations with a delightfully abstract expletive appropriate for any situation. Handmade in Utah and available here. Fuck yeah!

I never thought I’d wear a watch again until…

Mobile phones have completely erased the need for watches. At least that’s what I believed for the past decade. But then my buddy James tipped me off to Autodromo, a new line of vintage-inspired watches, and oh my! Founded to recapture the romantic era of motoring, Autodromo’s minimalist design and handmade aesthetic has me seriously reconsidering ever leaving my wrist naked again. Try-on and purchase info here.

Honor thy best shots

Instagram has become my favorite social network because it feels light, yet delivers a richness (and radness) that makes sharing worthwhile. And although those photos look pretty on a hi-res screen, I’m still a believer that our best shots deserve a more permanent existence in the form of print. There’s more than one iPhone to print app out there, but I like what PostalPix is doing. It offers a number of print sizes (not just for the 4x4ers), but also pictures infused directly on scratch-resistant aluminum plates. I tested it out and was pretty stoked on the results. Next up? Photos from the craziest nights I can or can’t remember.
