I’m a huge fan of the ecommerce site Woot, which offers one product per day, until it sells out, at super low prices. Woot has a strong nerd/gadget focus–TVs, laptops, things to plug into your usb ports (no, that’s not a euphemism…). They’ve expanded the model to wine, and t-shirts, but there’s still a whole lot of testosterone over there. Now it looks like someone is trying out the woot model with women’s clothing. What does everyone think about RedTagCrazy.com? Does the model still hold up?

I love how open source, customization, and the Maker aesthetic is being applied to hardware now…
Of course I’m not the only one. Looks like IDEO is too. They’ve just posted a great case study of work they did with Bug designing e-ink displays for BUG modules. Really beautiful design work, for a suite of really exciting products.

This looks like a really nifty tool.
Layers for the Mac, captures your displays as a Photoshop layered image. Press the capture hotkey or customize your capture in the inspector and you’ll obtain a full fledged PSD file with one layer per window, including menu and desktop icons, dock and menubar.

“Every Image has a Sound”
Designed by DM9DDB to promote Saxsofunny, a sound production company from Brazil.
I was going to say, I especially like the bubble wrap one… but that’s not true. They all rock! I think what I really love about these posters is that they are interactive design in the physical world. Well, that, and I think Foley sound effects are AWESOME.
