Good morning! We had a wonderful sunny weekend and I really don't think there's any chance of snow anymore. So... We can start preparing for spring!

A sunny playlist for weekend road trips is really high on my to do list. And this tune is definitely going to be on it. Enjoy!

Fryars - Cool Like Me (single), 2013

There's always that special something that makes you put a bit of extra effort in momments when you would usually let go.
What's yours?

Whenever I thought about getting a dog two things stopped me… first, the hours I work, which means I wouldn’t really be able to exercise my pet enough, and I’m really not the sort of person who’s comfortable with neglecting ones pets. And second, when I do get home, I’m often too tired to do anything, so I’d once again neglect him or her.

And here’s Kickstarter to the rescue once again with iFetch!

iFetch a ball launcher for dogs, that allows you or your dog to simply insert a ball in the funnel and it launches it so your pet can go fetch! A great toy that lets your pets have all the fun in the world, even when you’re not around! I love it!!!

It's no secret that I'm a huge Damon Albarn fan. He gets me and I get him. We really got along quite well over the years. His musical journeys from Blur, Gorillaz, The Good The Bad And The Queen, to Bobby Womack, Mali musicians, Rocket Juice & the Moon, and even an opera (Dr. Dee), were always honest, fresh and intriguing but he never let us into his world completely. 

On April 28, he's releasing a solo album Everyday Robots, and judging by the first two singles it looks like he let his guards down for us. 

Here is an intimate video for the second single "Lonely Press Play" which is compiled from scenes captured by Damon on his tablet and were filmed all over the world. And the images go so well with the mellow song. So tipical of him, playing with technology, exploring all the possibilities it brings in our lives and contemplating where it got us.

Enjoy.

Some like thier movies loud and with lots of explosions and others like them silent with lots of black and white. Then there are those who prefere movies being watched on their really smart phones and those who just like to hang them on walls. I didn't understand the latter until I found these.

The cool people from Cooley created a wide arrange of different size prints of some of the most well-known dramatic momments in movies.
Sadly, does not contain the Scarface scene for your bedroom.
And "Wrrrrrrrrrrrr..." ent the woodchipper.

My dad.
It doesn’t matter who he is, all that matters is, that he’s mine.

Death.
We used to fear you, now we know that you’re just another bony bitch.

Dull living room, boring office? Empty walls? It's time to make a change and make it more colourful? Or maybe you'd just like to have a new piece of art?

Martin Tremblay is a Canadian photographer who created this surprising series of fashion photos, in which he quite literally put photography upside down!

His models defy gravity and immediately call ones attention to a seemingly inverse world. You can find these photos in the printed edition of Schön magazine.

Easy start of the day, can be a good formula for a successful week. Here's a cute mellow Arctic Monkeys cover from Caitlin Rose. Enjoy!

This Sunday Story is a bit different. It's not something you would watch before breakfast. And it's most defenitely not something you would like to have in your basement. But it certainly is something you should take a look at.
Just like he did.

Radio: an endangered species. As in 'radio', just radio, without a CD or MP3 player or other contemporary gadgetry.

Suspended Coffee is a way of paying for coffee coming out of Neapolitan coffee shops where you pay for two or more coffees, but only drink one. In that way people build up a supply of already paid for coffees for those who can’t afford this hot beverage. The purpose of the project is to establish a culture of solidarity and human trust. With the help of social media the project went global, hit Slovenia last year and caused quite a stir. A number of people intimated there’d be no control over how many coffees actually went to people who couldn’t afford them and claimed that the profits would go straight into the pockets of bar owners. 

I’m not going to go into that. I find the idea interesting, its purpose good and will continue to support it, as long as I can afford it. I may be a romantic and have too much trust in people, but coffee means a lot to me and I know how I’d feel if I couldn’t afford it. A good day starts with (at least one) a good cup of coffee.

If you like the project and would like to give a stranger, who can’t afford it, a cup of coffee, go online and find the nearest bar participating in the project.

Petcube, another great Kickstarter project, that lets you feel good (well, better anyway) about leaving your pet alone. Simply put, it’s a box… Well not just a box, a box with a camera, microphone and laser in it, that lets you watch, talk and play laser games with your furry friends through their mobile app anytime, anywhere.

Through the built-in wide angle camera you can see your pet. You can have a conversation with him or her using speakers and microphone. But Petcube goes much further. It gives you a controlled laser pointer to bring the fun times with your pet to a whole new level. Petcube is perfect for interacting with your pets, even when you can't be there for them.

You know the feeling you get when you take a group vacation and everyone has the same socks… Well, not really. To be frank, I love these Super stickers – SuperLepke so much, but I just can’t come up with a good enough reason to actually need them. I don’t go to summer camp after all. Anymore…

I simply couldn’t get them out of my mind and kept thinking of reasons why I’d need them, until I found one. And now, naturally, I need them. So, I could really use them for my supplies. Everyone at the office could. Pens, that “no one took” keep disappearing, and don’t get me started on umbrellas. That’s actually how SuperLepke started out – when two parents sent their child to kindergarten and were suddenly confronted with the need to label clothes and shoes while their neighbor tried to figure out how to mark every single one of her first grader’s crayons…

I particularly like to stickers for shoes. Seeing how I have the smallest shoe size at home as well as at the office, there’s no way anyone’s going to take my tiny shoes, so I don’t really need them, but still… aren’t they awesome?

In the good old days my mum used to sew labels on my shirts, pants and other things when I went to kindergarten. Today, all she’d need to do is iron it on!
