Neon Boneyard
Not far from the hotels of the Vegas strip is the quiet desert resting place of the city’s neon history. The Las Vegas Neon Museum and Boneyard are home to countless neon lights, historic signage and advertisements from a time long passed.
While we're on the subject of Sin City, I want to give a shout out to BYU as they will be playing Oregon State today in the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl. Go Cougars!

Mane Memo
Gradual hair loss is a problem people tend to neglect. This memo pad is designed to engage people to address the issue.
As users tear off memo sheets, the person's "hair" becomes thinner, alerting them of possible hair loss. They then remind them to face the problem before it is too late with Pantogar.

Coinage Simplication
This project by Mac Funamizu is based on the challenge idea for people who travel to figure out the coin system of money in each new country they’re in. Solution? Pie chart coins.The original intent of the project is to for just a moment dismiss the obvious pros in the circular-only design of modern coins and jump on the fractions train. I dig it.

JetBlue Gift Catalog
JetBlue introduces a satirical holiday catalog of gifts for non-JetBlue fliers to help them cope with flying on other airlines.The 14 products include leather in a jar, for those uncomfortable cloth seats; a knee-jockey apparatus (above), to make up for the lack of legroom; depth goggles (below), to make the seat in front of you seem farther away; and the YumBro robot, to dispense snacks you won't be given for free.
Genius idea from JetBlue's ad agency JWT. Feel free to browse the Flyer's Collection catalog on their Facebook fan page here.

Coffee, like Helvetica, is an acquired taste. To satisfy both appetites, this mug features four weights of the timeless font. I don't even drink coffee and I envy this mug. Holy Helvetica.
