Monocle Table.
Monocle Magazine is producing some really great wares in partnership with various great design agencies. For example, this table by Danish brand Fritz Hansen. It's very smuk (beautiful). And while we're on it - the Danish word for paper shredder is Makulator.

random images I happen to like and don't have anywhere to put right now.

Petition for Tibet.
Please sign this urgent petition urging Aussie PM Kevin Rudd to stand up to the Chinese on his upcoming visit to China. It takes less than a minute. Visit GetUp! I have lived among Tibetan refugees so I don't take this issue lightly. For more information visit the Australia Tibet Council.
