Here in the U.S., the 4th of July is kind of a big deal. It’s a time for barbecuing, relaxing by a body of water, oohing and aahing at fireworks, and generally eating, drinking, and being merry with loved ones.
But in the rest of the world, it’s just another Thursday. And we know our community comes from all over. So this week, we’ve got two great projects that feel especially relevant on this festive (for Americans) day, and one that’s just plain great, no matter what day it is.
Pool Glass
By Duncan Shotton
Sip your beverage of choice by the pool (or not), from a glass that’s also a pool. This delightful drinking glass is just what you’d expect from Duncan Shotton, the designer of solar-system push pins and pencils that make paper rainbows every time you sharpen them.
The Wigbold Chef’s Knife
By Crowd Cookware
No backyard barbecue would be complete without a cut of grilled meat (or veggies). Crowd Cookware is back with a durable, stainless-steel chef’s knife that’ll help amateurs slice and dice like the pros, and pros slice and dice like… well, like even better pros.
LAAB #4: This Was Your Life
By Beehive Books
Ronald Wimberly’s annual newspaper-format magazine is packed with experimental art, comics, criticism, and interviews. The second issue (called LAAB #4, just to keep you on your toes) will deal with horror, death, and the end of days.
