Scrabble is an old classic loved by many but something was lacking and that was a beautiful design. Andrew Clifford Capener decided to change that with his A-1 Scrabble Designer Edition. The idea was to excite people about typography by giving them the ability to choose what font their scrabble set would come in. The set would be available in the font of your choice or with an assorted font pack. Additional font packs (including your favorite font) could be ordered through Scrabble’s website. The scrabble board and interior box are made out of solid walnut, and the exterior box is made from birch. Each of the 6 board pieces is magnetized to fit together perfectly and each piece slides nicely into its respective slot in the box and is secured by interior magnets as well. The interior of the exterior box as well as the bottoms of the 6 board pieces are lined with cork, to protect them while in use.”

Are you that guy? Do you have all the apple products. Do like anything with an "i" in front of it. Then check out the Polyply which most would want to call it the iEverything. The stand which was designed by Andrew Kim holds iEverything in a manner that makes it easy to charge and orient as secondary (and subsequent) display. It was constructed out of acrylate polymer (acrylic plastic), birch plywood & birch. It holds an iPad, iPod Classic, iPhone 4 and a stylus. So let me know if you would rock this.

To the beer drinking bike rider do I have a surprise for you. The Bike 6-Pack Holder($22) this magical holder will hold your manly beer while you cruise around town. The leather frame cinch adjusts to secure just about anything to your bike's top tube. It originally was designed by and for a Hardcourt Bike Polo aficionado but holding a 6-pack sounded so much better. So get yours today!

I found a site that has a liking to things that are neatly organized. Things Organized Neatly is a website that showcases photos of things organized neatly. The concept for this site is pretty neat (pun intended). I look forward to submitting a couple of pictures myself since I'm a little OCD and like to organize things. If you have any pics that you would like to submit then head on over. If not then just check out some of the photos submitted. If you want to get a daily dose follow on twitter @thngsorganzdntly

"Release the Freq" is an official video that was done for Matta from his album Prototype. The amazing design and cinematography was done by Kim Holm. What I like about this video one is the deers and two is the grading and geometrical shapes that were used in this video. I would have to say a lot of design cliches were used but that made it even better. Then comes the dubstep track itself, which I can always enjoy some dubstep, plus seeing the deer going crazy reminded me of how some people dance to dubstep. So who is ready for some vintage dubstep deer?

I like me some road bikes and this Levi's denim inspired fixie bike is awesome. The elements on this bike include denim stitching, custom denim paint job, denim saddle and handlebar, and a color pallet to fit Levi’s attitude. There were three different outfitters that were chosen to forge this ‘one of a kind’ creation. UNIK bikes, Belgium’s master in vintage restorations; Fixerati, a Brussels-based shop specialized rare bike parts; and lastly Brother Cycles, a London-based entity known for their frames. All in all this is a pretty sweet ride and it will be given away as part of a recently launched Facebook “Share and Win” game for Levi’s Europe participants.

It brings together artists from different fields and showcases there skills. Currently, they are up to issue 10 and .default magazine started up back in June of 2010. I would highly recommend checking it out. It has a smooth interfaces that gives reading an online magazine a fresh feel. If you don't believe me check it out for yourself.

Twitter sometimes you help me find some pretty awesome stuff. Like the frontman of Fleet Foxes releasing a FREE three song EP. It definitely was a treat seeing how Robin Pecknold band will be releasing a new album in May called, Helplessness Blues. So providing these three new songs I think it will hold me off till the new album comes out.

Pecknold who recently recorded this three song solo in Los Angeles, gives us a little explanation: "One is a duet with my friend Ed Droste from the amazing band Grizzly Bear, one is just a new solo jam, and one is a cover." The cover is of "Where Is My Wild Rose", a song from the New Zealand folk singer Chris Thompson. The Droste team-up is called "I'm Losing Myself" and features some haunted, feathery harmonies. And the new solo song is called "Derwentwater Stones". You can download the EP here.

Just a heads up this EP is quite mellow with an acoustic stripped down feel to them. Pecknold also want to add that, "These aren't Fleet Foxes songs, but I didn't know where else to disseminate it". So everyone Enjoy!
