Monster Letters

How cool are these?


The artist Joey Ellis initially created them to help his son learn his letters. I just think they are adorable and they make me think about the old Sesame Street coloring pages where each letter was paired with a different character. The old pages seem to have disappeared, but here is what I did find.

If you visit Joey's blog or Flickr page you can see more of his art or even follow him on Twitter.

I also love his personal icon with the mouseketeer hat!


So cute!

Magnetic duct-tape



It couldn't be any easier or more versatile: Just stick a few centimetres of the 19mm (3⁄4") wide patented magnetic tape to the back of your photos, posters, calendars, etc. and a matching piece on the wall, the sloped ceiling, the fridge door, office cupboard, memo board, etc. The tape strips will stick to each other magnetically. And can be just as easily taken off again. Unlike conventional removable adhesive tape, you can use this tape again and again. Ideal, for example, if you need to reposition plans and maps several times.
