Green Space Travel Case permalinkPaige Russell’s Green Space Travel Case gives the picnic lunch a twist with her briefcase-enclosed portable mini-park snack kit. It’s the perfect grassy solution for those summer days when you’re stuck inside. (via Design Sponge) |

Boone’s Farm and the US Air Guitar Championship permalinkIf you previously thought Boone’s Farm was only for those with learner’s permits, think again: It’s now for air guitarists, too. Boone’s Farm is now the official beverage sponsor of the US Air Guitar Championships, and is even debuting a new flavor, Sunshine Pink, with the event. Hopefully, this sets a precedent for future such partnerships: New York Fashion Week Brought to you by Colt 45, maybe?

Naoto Fukasawa permalinkIndustrial designer Naoto Fukasawa‘s amazing juice boxes mimic the appearance and texture of the fruit they contain—strawberries, bananas, kiwis—and beg to become an entire juice-box cornucopia. |

Boxed Water is Better permalinkOur friends laugh at us when we buy the boxed-wine, but good things do come in cardboard rectangles (Juicy Juice, anyone?). Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Boxed Water is Better is an environmentally-friendlier alternative that’s shipped flat, and while it’s not as good as just drinking tap, it’s a step in the right direction. |

Apple Jackets permalinkNo, not the cereal: Apple jackets, to keep them bruise-free and cozy. |

Jon Feinstein permalinkAfter we posted about Scanwiches, a very nice reader named Erica directed us to Jon Feinstein‘s scanned fast food. It looks a little messy. Imagine the interoffice emails that were sent out: “Whoever is responsible for the tartar sauce on the scanner, please be aware that this is a violation of office policy and refrain from scanning Fillet O’Fish in the future.” |

Rachael Ray permalinkWhat is weirder than the fact that Rachael Ray hosts a party in Austin? Try the fact that the New York Dolls, Ra Ra Riot and the Hold Steady are playing. And that we’re going. Come on, who can turn down Yum-O drinks? (Photo by Tyler Grisham via Pitchfork.) |

Iced Turbo permalinkIn Austin, it’s always ced-coffee weather, and the official beverage might be the Iced Turbo from Jo’s. What’s in an Iced Turbo you ask? Coffee, espresso, hazelnut, chocolate and cream, and it tastes like a cup of melted ice cream. How many calories are in an Iced Turbo? Why would you ever ask that? Through Sunday, stop by Jo’s on South Congress for South by San Jose, their very own free outdoor festival full of music, food, drinks and, lordy-lordy, awesome vintage shopping. |

Hey Cupcake! permalinkHey Cupcake! is a classic shiny Airstream selling frosted delights to the crowds on South Congress. It seems like every place in Austin has live music this week, and Hey Cupcake! is no exception, hosting a long-haired dude playing acoustic Violent Femmes covers. Lesson learned: Live music does not always mean good music. |

Wake’N Bacon permalinkFrom here on out, we’re aiming for as many bacon related posts as possible (sorry, vegetarians). Today’s pork-tastic find is the Wake’N Bacon, a little piggy-shaped alarm clock from designer Matty Sallin, which wakes you up with the sweet smell of bacon cooking. Right by your bed. |

Young + In Love permalinkLove is a many splendored thing, and in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we bring you four lovely couples who are smart, cute, creative and, from the sound of it, pretty fun to hang out with. In Young + In Love, we profile four couples who prove that as much as love is about romance, it’s also about fat cats, getting caught in the rain, and occasionally Karl Lagerfeld.

Hamburger Bed permalinkAnyone who watched the wrongness that was the “taco bed” on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia will appreciate this: a less racially-offensive, but no less awesome, hamburger bed. (Via Apartment Therapy.) |
