2014 Winter Olympics Logo Unveiling

The logo for the 2014 Winter Olympics, to be held in Sochi, Russia, was unveiled recently, becoming the first Olympic emblem to feature a web address—Sochi2014.ru—as organisers target the digital generation.  The Sochi 2014 brand was developed by big-hitter brand consultancy Interbrand.   The "s" and "2" of the typeface selection and placement is seamless. Nice job Interbrand.  For more information, head on over to logodesignlove.

Computer Safari

When I work in my home office, my mind often drifts thinking of all the places I want to see in the world. Prague, Mount Rushmore, St. Petersburg. But my dream always starts and ends in Africa on safari. So I immediately "connected" with these cute little animal USB memory drives from Japan. Now, I can have my own little elephant sitting on my desk.  

These USB pets are from Japanese company Marubeni InfoTech. Available in both walnut and maple, you can choose between a 1 GB dog, pig, elephant, hippo, or swan. Or get them all and have your very own herd. They could have chosen a better place for the USB cord but hey, they are so cute I can overlook this design flaw.  

Available at the monoDO website for 7,980 yen, which is about $73 US. (website is in Japanese, but I’ve linked to the translated version). Thanks to Geek Alerts and Paige + Modern for bringing a piece of the animal kingdom to me!

One for the Guys - Happy Father's Day!

Boys - Meet the O-Grill.

A "must have" for the outdoor enthusiast and adventurer! Weighing in at only 24 lbs, the clamshell opens to reveal a 225 square-inch grilling surface and a 9450 BTU stainless steel burner that will run for over 4 hours on a single propane cylinder. The space-saving design and retractable legs make it great for activities like tailgating and camping, or set it up as a permanent fixture on your deck or balcony. And you can get to grillin' quick - it sets up in 10 seconds.  Check it out at Alpha - Gear for Gents.  Available in 6 colors for easy coordination with your man gear.

Now, what time do you want us girls over for burgers?

Happy Father's Day!
