"Band of Brothers" Inspiration, Maj. Dick Winters, Dies at Age 92

I know I'm late to this, but I have to note the passing of an amazing man. I thoroughly enjoyed both the book and HBO miniseries, “Band of Brothers”. In both instances, it held the men of Easy Company, and their eminent leader, Major Dick Winters as what helps symbolize America. If he truly was even a shadow of what the stories told, we could each grow by emulating this man. #

Albert Menes Sardines

I love the detail on this package of sardines (scroll about a third of the way down on the linked page). Feels like a nice balance between busy details and white space. Although the company's site is in French, and you can't see any of their products close-up, it's clear that their whole line of seafood/fish products are designed in a similar way. #

iPhone "Extreme Metal" Cases - ElementCase

I know these aren't anything new, but I thought of them again the other day, and just how cool they were the first time I saw them. Although these Extreme Metal are their best cases, I'd even settle for one of their standard Vapor cases. #

Longbored Surfer - Links, now with Photos

I admit it. I've been collecting images to go along with most of my links. I've been collecting them almost ever since I started hosting my own links (in April of 2009). Instead of hording the images for myself, I figured, it'd make the links (and site) a bit more appetizing if I actually served them, instead of just keeping them stored in the system. Your RSS feeds should be automatically updated with the new photos, and the site now looks a bit less dull, now populated with a bunch of images. Happy 2011. #

I love this set of vintage typewriter ribbon tins. I'd be a complete sucker to start collecting something like these. #

Lost Levels: The Legend of Zelda Prototype

Somehow these guys got their hands on an early prototype of The Legend of Zelda, and posted it for us all to play with our favorite emulator. Reportedly it's easier… but you can read about all the changes as well. Impressive find. #

Make Magazine: Super Mario Bros Level Cake

There aren't many details about the cake (see: none), but it looks awesome. I'm not a big fan of fondant, and the cake looks too cool to eat anyway. #

Olly Moss Star Wars Trilogy Posters - MondoTees

I may not be the immense Star Wars geek that most web geeks tend to be, but I can certain appreciate these unique and awesome posters. Really, they're well done. They're already sold out of both the three-pack, and the individual posters. I personally would have opted for the Boba Fett/Empire Strikes Back poster. #

"Ten Great Years" Art Print by Max Dalton

I'd thoroughly enjoy one of these prints. Ideally it'd be framed, but I could go without. I can already see where it'd be hung. #

Jen Renninger's Collection of Boxes: Design Observer

I can appreciate collectors of unique things. Keep it within reason, and apply some form of logic to the collection, and you're okay in my book. These boxes and her approach are pretty cool. #
