You might still remember the Black and White clock we have mentioned, now, we have another alternative. It’s more elegant.

A hoodie like this will make the trip to Magic that much more bearable. Burton makes a hoodie specifically for one of our most coveted pastimes: sleepflying. This new jammy is a lifesaver for snoozing while traveling in planes but is equally suitable for trains, automobiles, and cruise ships too. It’s got everything you need to survive your expedition comfortably, effectively making it more of a stillsuit from Dune than a mere “Sleeper Hoodie.” Here’s some of it’s features:

  • integrated neck pillow in the hood
  • cuff thumb holes
  • pull down light shield to cover eyes
  • hidden stash pocket with ear plugs
  • internal pocket for tickets and passports
  • pit zips to keep you ventilated
  • So drape this on in either athletic heather, or true black, and may your voyage be a prosperous one.

    single hauz
    single hauz
    Single
    Hauz
    - a kind of manifest, proposal of a house/shelter
    for a Western Worlder. The "basic unit of society", as
    marriage is called, is no longer the only model of life. As a detached
    single occupant house unit, Single Hauz fills a kind of a void in
    the field of housing proposal for so called "singles".
    Inspired by a city billboard, it is designed as an object suitable
    for almost every place on earth. It is especially predisposed for
    sites of an interesting landscaping. For instance forests, seas,
    lakes, mountains, meadows - but, on the other hand, just next to
    the main city street.

    It’s about time your everyday bag had a sense of rugged refinement. We mean it. This sleek, semi-rigid ballistic nylon case utilizes two layers of molded high-density foam protection and non-scratch fabrics to cradle your laptop like nothing else.
    A black exterior says professionalism, while the red, orange, and beige accent color stitching bring out the creative in you. [If it’s not already out.]
    An intelligent interior layout with a place for your power adapter, cables, phone, iPod, keys, pens and business cards makes it easy to keep your mess organized, while the bag’s three jeans-button pockets resist that quest until you learn how to use them. If you can’t figure it out, don’t blame us. Please.

    MOMA Watch

    You read that correctly, this fascinating timepiece is sold by the Museum Of Modern Art, and what a work of art it is! The hours and minutes fade in and out with the passage of time, making this an oddly cool combination of digital and analog. Digi-log? The all-black design is a serious statement, but we’re guessing somebody out there will find a use for the orange version, which looks less . . . German, somehow. The orange edition is what Flock Of Seagulls might wear on another reunion tour, so you synth-pop bands looking for new stagewear should consider wearing these before FoS do.

    Image of Pin Clock
    Descended from the classic "pinhead" toy you pressed your hand into, this clock is endlessly fascinating. The face is 3,000 pins arranged side-by-side. With each passing minute, pins lift, retract, and reshuffle to display the current time. A quiet "click" sounds with every change, and a transparent cover keeps out curious fingers. Takes 2 D batteries (not included). 8½"w x 3¾"h x 3½"d.

    Batman Shakespeare Bust Switch

    Back in the day, Batman — Adam West in those days — used a switch hidden in a Shakespeare bust to enter the Bat Cave. Well, now you can too with the Batman Shakespeare Bust Switch Replica ($300). Push back the bard’s head and you reveal a switch that can turn on and off anything plugged into the bust. Nice for those times when you want discreet access to your hidden hoard of SweeTarts.

    Frank Gehry is certainly best known for his eye-popping arcetectural desings, but his Positive/Negative Watch by Fossil ($150) may start a revolution in lazy time telling. The watch happily tells you that it's half past eleven or eight til twelve — which is fine by us, and even better for anyone who uses the phrase "beer thirty."
