Here’s what international silver-fox Keith Murray from We Are Scientists has to say about iPads and mobile phones and whatnot:
As a band we reject the iPad. We’ve picked them up at the Apple store and then immediately put them down again. It’s just an oversized iPhone that you can’t make phonecalls on. And [...]
Oh Internet, I adore you. Here’s reason #425,341:
Is this Ben Folds? Because it looks like Ben Folds and sounds like Ben Folds but I just don’t know for sure.
UPDATE: It’s not Ben Folds. But it does make me want to listen to Ben Folds.
Cosy knits for your tea – tea + knitting = The Best. Sure, you could pay $15 for this, but I reckon it’d be pretty easy to knit yourself.

Origami tea bags – Beautiful origami green berry tea bags by Natalia Ponomareva. Just a concept for now.
BookBook – A MacBook cover that looks like an old book from TwelveSouth. Lush, but it’ll set you back $80.
Amazing chairs [...]
