    May 15th, 2012 | Cool Finds, Things You Should Own | Chris Is A Liar | No Comments

    Field Notes is pretty much my fav brand at TOAL, so I was pretty stoked that I finally got a chance to get to know Aaron Draplin — the Michigan native partly responsible for their creation. In this interview by A Continuous Lean, you learn about what spurred Draplin’s passion — these farmers promotional books, [...]

    IKEA Digital Camera

    April 30th, 2012 | Arts, Farts & Fauxtography, Cool Finds | Chris Is A Liar | No Comments

    I’ve seen pinhole cardboard cameras before, but this is the first time that I’ve seen something like this made by a furniture giant. It was a promotional item, but it makes me think that IKEA might be working on a product like this. This “disposable” camera uses two AA batteries and can store up to [...]

    The art of sushi is complex. On the one hand, you’ve got cheap sushi and then you’ve got skilled artisan sushi. Enter a third type of sushi: rolls wrapped in laser-cut nori (seaweed) that is almost too good looking to scarf down. Created by I&SBBDO for a sushi business that was hurting from the 2011′s [...]

    I love bikes. I love music. I would love to be able to combine the two of them so I could feel like Peter Griffin in that episode of Family Guy when his life has its own soundtrack, but it never seems to be that easy. Earbuds fall out. Studio cans block out all traffic [...]

With anything so iconic, however, there is little in the way of personality when you opt to join the clan of users. So wI figured, “Why not offer a sense of ownership on something you love as much as the classic Zippo?” [...]
