If, like me, you downright REFUSE to leave the world of Downton behind, then you will love animator Daisy Edward’s t-shirt designs on Red Bubble. Daisy creates the illustration herself and then through Red Bubble, they become t-shirts for us to wear dreaming of Downton. She also has a hilarious New Girl tee, but my heart belongs with the Granthams and Crawleys.
Meg Allan Cole is at it again, this time for Rue magazine.

This weekend I went down to Palo Alto to check out the DIY Musical Instrument Tailgate Party, hosted by Thingamajigs and the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).
Dave Vondle and Jerry O’Leary are making the world’s thinnest watch. I’ve enjoyed watching this project unfold from day 1. Actually, I’ve been watching this project unfold well before that. Dave was my summer intern in 2004. Working with smart, talented interns is always a joy, but every once in a while someone comes along who is truly gifted. I learned so much more from Dave that summer than he learned from me, and I continue to learn from. Dave moved on to IDEO after college, and was one of the people behind IDEO Labs. It was there that Dave honed his skills as a talented maker who skillfully combines engineering, design, and aesthetic to make some great new devices like this watch.
Our friends over at Maker Corps are looking for young adults with an interest in making who are seeking summer employment in maker education and leadership.
