The Cannondale Dutchess: a concept bike based on an updating of the classic Omafiets Dutch bicycle. I hope this goes into production as it looks as if it would be a terrific commuting bike.

Looks like an interesting project. I'm all for these kinds of framework kits to make designing web pages easier for those of us who are artistically-challenged.

Good introduction to typography using LaTeX, with some gorgeous examples.

Very nice free icon set.

"And it gets worse: meeting organizers will invariably sandwich your poster between two posters that are infinitely more entertaining, such as "Teaching house cats to perform cold fusion" and "Mating preferences in extraordinarily adorable red pandas." In such a situation, your poster must be interesting and visually slick if you hope to attract viewers."

"Postage for the iPhone allows you to easily create beautiful electronic postcards from your photos and send them by email to your friends and family." This looks gorgeous. I've mourned the loss of the .Mac (now MobileMe) e-cards, so this looks like a great replacement.

Great collection of free fonts.

This is a completely brilliant idea, and I want one now: a bike mounted, ground-firing laser to 'paint' a bike lane in light either side of a cyclist which moves with them. Did I mention it had a laser?

Nice to see a tutorial using Pixelmator rather than Photoshop. This gives a very nice effect. I've always wondered how to use the Quartz Composer generators.

"Take the thumbscoop, for example. It’s the indentation that allows you to open the display. If the scoop is too deep, you put too much pressure on the display to open it. If it’s too shallow, you struggle to open the display. It may seem incidental, but if the thumbscoop is well designed, it makes the difference between a bad experience and a good one. The challenge of the thumbscoop was to create a crisply machined scoop that was still comfortable to use. The designers at Apple worked on hundreds of versions of the thumbscoop — even examining them under an electron microscope — to get it right."

A great, simple idea: forget about the grids of traditional diaries or day planners and have a blank page with an analogue clock outline in the centre, on which you can mark off your appointments. Then the rest of the page is free to do whatever you want with. It acknowledges the fact that the stuff we do tends not to be evenly distributed over the day.

Drool. Forget your fancy home cinemas, if I had millions of pounds to spend, I'd build a library just like this, assuming that I had a home bigger than this library, which I currently don't.

Wonderful solution for a library nestled in among the stair treads to a loft apartment.

I love this desk. Very industrial, but gorgeous. The semi-hidden, ventilated shelf underneath for drives, cables and other clutter is ingenious.

What a great idea: use the ceiling rafters with a board fixed beneath them as a bookshelf.

Nice idea: a bike that switches from upright to recumbent on the turn of a handle. Not sure how it would feel to ride, but it seems like it might be the best of both worlds.

Interesting sightings of pixel or block based infographics which are substitutes for pie charts. I don't think I've seen any of these in UK media yet. I'm no fan of pie charts, but I'm not sure these are a great improvement.

Some really innovative and fun business card designs.

An interesting observation about the relative sizes of various software installation progress screens, and what that says about the makers of the software.

Great, simple tutorial on using flexible gradient backgrounds.

Provide a link to one of your photos on flickr, choose a size and print out a nice calendar using your own photographs. The CD jewel case size is particularly good for a desk.

"Spiffy Corners is a simple way to generate the CSS and HTML you need to create anti-aliased corners without using images or JavaScript."

Interesting technique for displaying images overlaid on the webpage, avoiding any width limitations of your layout.

I want a tarsier on my PowerBook (it would have to be a baby one on my 12")

I really like this watch. Would have been really handy when I used to work on animal navigation, but I'd still like to know sunrise/moonrise times now.

One question: what happens if you want to use the bathroom in the middle of the night? Or make breakfast for your friend in bed?

Excellent project to build a mini tripod out of a bottle cap.

This is my idea of heaven (or one of them): living on the rooftops, up with the birds. One question - where's the toilet?
