Finding out about Facebook purchasing Gowalla made for some good news over the weekend. We’ve got a few friends and have been lucky enough to work with Gowalla a few times over the years, so are really proud to hear that Facebook values them us much as we do. They’ve always been a great company whose focus on design has gone a long way over here at our office. I’m sure that focus will make a big impact with Facebook. Congrats guys!

Camping should be fun and about having an adventure in your own awesome way. That’s the attitude behind this new brand that does an incredible job documenting their adventures while having a good time.

Have you ever wanted a secret door that was triggered by a book on a bookshelf, but were missing a place for that doorway to lead? Well never fear, you can now at least feed that desire on a slightly less ambitious level with this secret book light switch. It’s a clever idea and was designed by Ben Light. His pre-made kit is currently sold out, but I don’t doubt that with a little ingenuity and a few minutes in your locally owned hardware store, that you could put one together yourself.

When no one’s looking at an IKEA catalog, do the people photographed go on living their lives, or are they perpetually stuck in these overly optimistic representations of everyday life? Page 23 aims to answer that question.

Apparently you've read through all of the note cards. Good work.
