Nike Flyknit Lunar1+

Haven't had the chance to pick up a pair of Flyknits but the colorways are gorgeous.

The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ features an innovative upper, constructed entirely of tightly woven polyester yarn that varies in density: more open in targeted areas that need greater flexibility or ventilation and tighter in areas that demand support.   (Nike.com - Running)

A good video showing new features which BB10 is boasting.
Much better than their past campaigns, now focusing on the working business man/women while being hip and cool.

"Keep moving."

Kinda cool...documenting the design process in a way. Less cheesy than Windows phone ads anyway ;)

Kaweco Liliput

I bought a Kaweco Sport fountain pen when I was in Berlin this summer, great looking pens from Germany. {Cool Hunting} more

Named for the diminutive island dwellers of Gulliver's Travels, Liliput is a petite new pen from heritage German pen-maker Kaweco. True to its name, the pen measures only 3.8 inches when closed, expanding to five when posed for writing. At first glance, the cylindrical capsule could be anything from an EpiPen to an elongated pillbox, but don't let its austerity fool you. Made from solid aluminum, it takes refillable cartridges and at only eight grams, weighs next to nothing. -Cool Hunting

Speculative moldmaking

A friend of mine (a computer science major) asked me if creating iphone cases is a profitable business? I said sure if you have half a million dollars laying around maybe (which is usually the costs required to get a steel mold created for the product). Anyway I came across this interesting article about the industry and sent it to him from {core77} more 
On the morning of Apple's Oct. 4 announcement, top managers at Palo Alto startup Speck huddled into a conference room filled with colorful MacBooks to watch the news trickle in. They had created several rough models of potential new designs for the next iPhone, but were far from committing to any of them. "We have no idea what's going to hit the market," says Irene Baran, Speck's CEO. "We listen to the rumors like everyone else does and make intelligent guesses." -core77

"In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service."
