Bike it out



It's summertime, and that means I want to ride my bicycle.

Japanese brand Arrow, and their bespoke line Trunk, design simple, logo-less bicycles and hella sweet accessories, like wooden bells and passenger chariots. I want them all, in case you were wondering, especially the Yamajin.

The Wall Street Journal published an article recently on the awesomeness of biking in Denmark and the Netherlands.

The Dutch Bicycle Company can help you channel Copenhagen with little push-go-karts.

Henry WorkCycles produces a bike for you to carry a lot of ice cream in, and one to pioneer the Western frontier.

I didn't figure this out myself. For more bicycling goodies, go to Velo Orange.

Ahoy, mateys!



If you can make it, the What The Heck Fest is happening in Anacortes this weekend. Most importantly, that means tomorrow is Shipwreck Saturday! Bring your totes and load up on the loot!

Lonely no more

What does a girl need in the dead of summer in Vancouver, with her nearest and dearest spread out all over the world, and no nine-to-fiver to occupy her time?

No, no, no, not a gym membership,
Mom.

What I need is an Asahi Beerbot!



This perfect little companion will store your beer all summer and, with the push of a button, pour you a cool one when it's time to celebrate your triumphs or seek comfort during the lows. It even pauses twice to adjust the tilt of your glass so that the head pours just so. And did I mention the programmable Japanese exclamations? Hello awesome!! Now only if it could walk and hold your hand...
