My BumpTop

If you haven’t already, check out Bumptop.

Especially if you are sick of your 2D desktop.

Because they have created the first ever 3D desktop, where you have walls for putting up pictures, notes and icons, you can group piles of documents together, and loads more.

Great for anyone with a messy desktop, who is looking for a fun and practical solution.

Above is my desktop, after being Bumptop-ified. Very funky.

Check them out. Bumptop.

Darwin

Sometimes it is the least likely place that supplies some great creativity.

Today it came from my sandwich box.

I bought a sandwich from the sandwich lady, and while eating it, started reading the box that the sandwich came in.

And I am glad I did.

Here is what I saw (yes, I did get weird looks taking a photo of an empty sandwich box).

Darwin deli sandwich box

I liked this for three reasons:

- The image, parodying the iconic evolution image, is nice for a reason I can’t quite put my finger on

- The alliteration of Darwin’s Deli (alliteration has always appealed to me)

- The tagline ‘The Natural Selection’ ties perfectly in with the Darwin brand theme, and highlights the natural nature of the sandwich

If you thought their work was tasty too, check them out here.

Fan

No, that post is not because I am a fan of London’s famed Tube system (I was initially, but constant strikes tend to kill the passion).

The title for this post was more literal than that, as (via Ben and James) I have come across a simple idea that I am surprised hasn’t been done before, when you see the hundreds of different Tube-branded items available on every London street corner.

Quite cool.
