This accident happened just a few minutes ago on our street in Mt. Vernon. I heard the crash from my office on the other side of the apartment, but Jen woke up to the screams of the woman from the sedan. Apparently, she was the only survivor.

It’s time. I need 100 testers to run through every aspect of DestroyTwitter 2.0 and report any bugs they come across. Up to the task? Request an invite.

[update] – The invites were sent out this morning. If you didn’t get one, don’t sweat—the public release will be out next week.

It’s a big day in Adobeland—both AIR 2.0 and Flash Player 10.1 make their debuts. Lucky for me, they arrive just in time for the soon-to-be-released DestroyTwitter 2.0, which relies on a few fancy features in the new runtime. I’m planning for a June 21st launch, so mark your calendars and make sure you install AIR.

Why are video editors the only ones with colorful keyboards? I would totally benefit from these keyboard stickers for the many hotkeys of Photoshop. I know a handful of the hotkeys already, but ones like ‘v’ switching to the ‘move’ tool makes no sense to me, so the extra reminder would certainly help.

iPad sleeves seem a bit silly to me, but this is the only one I’d pay money for. It reminds me of the Gameboy backpack I had in first grade, which I’d do anything to have again… in an adult size.

Jen graduated from MICA yesterday. Of course, it was a very special day, but even more so because she met the inspiration for her thesis—Stefan Sagmeister. He spoke at commencement (video below) and met with a small group of students. I’m certain I’ll find fancy hand-lettering all over her sketchbooks saying, ‘Jen Sagmeister’… which is actually what she titled this photo on Facebook.

The creativity of video game lovers never ceases to amaze me. On Etsy, there’s a store dedicated to video game soap, called DigitalSoaps. The majority of products are controllers for various consoles, but there is also an assortment of Tetris sets, including Level 7 seen above. What really cracks me up about the store is the Mountain Dew-scented shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Tell the world you’re a gamer through a scent other than B.O.

I grew up digging through my LEGO bin, building cities with my sister. We had rivaling biker gangs led by Red Valley (her guy) and Black Coyote (mine). Any time I see something LEGO-related, it takes me back and brings an ear-to-ear smile to my face. As you can expect, I blacked out when I saw these Lunablocks. When I awoke, I was saddened to see they’re only available in Europe. Hopefully they’ll make their way to the US soon—I contacted them to check.

If you’ve followed Destroy Today over the years, you most certainly know I love my cable organizers. Even if all of my cables are accounted for, there’s no harm in acquiring a few decorative ones, like Leaf Ties and Fork & Cream Sauce by Lufdesign. I especially have my eye on the Leaf Ties, which would add that touch of nature my workspace has been missing.

Junjie Zhang designed a beautiful concept for easy keyhole finding. While many car manufacturers experiment with keyless entry and other fancy replacements, this looks like a solid direction for non-auto-related locks.
