Pumping Iron '74

I got hold of this 1974 copy of Pumping Iron magazine for a friend's birthday and it totally pained me to post it to him. It had signs of wear, but was generally in great condition and full of amazing shots of people like Mr Schwarzenegger in his Mr. Olympia heyday.

For the design geeks among us, it's designed by Martin Stephen Moskof and it's 205mm x 275mm, 221 pages and a softback publication.

Thanks to Celine at Counter-Print.co.uk for great service, careful packaging and general loveliness - if you have the two key ingredients of good sense and a little spare money, you'll head over there right now and buy something amazing.

Anthony Burrill - Read This

One of the many good things available through Counter Objects, this screen printed tote bag by Anthony Burrill is a good way to stop using plastic bags without using your tote bag as a way of making a statement about the fact you're not using a plastic bag. It's a tenner, but it's limited edition which makes it a steal. Doesn't it?

Even if you don't think so, you really should stop using plastic bags. It's horrifically bad for the environment and I'm getting really tired of having to scowl at you in the supermarket.

MoviePeg

Pretty simple design, pretty simple purpose. The MoviePeg retails at just under a fiver and puts an end to the problem of having to either hold or find the right newspaper, book or beermat to prop your iPhone onto watch a movie.

EXOvault iPhone Case

I don't seem to be able to make a cup of tea without coming back to see someone else writing a blog about the iPad, or tweeting about a blog about the iPad. So I'm posting something good about the iPhone.

These cases are handmade by EXOvault, a small, artist-run company in Brooklyn
. Machined from two solid blocks of either aluminium, titanium or brass, they fit the iPhone 3G or 3GS like a glove so your beloved iPhone won't even be scratched.
