KonamiCode added to DestroyFramework

 

Sure, I could have spent tonight working on useful features for DestroyTwitter, but no, I wrote a KonamiCode class. To use it, simply instantiate it with a stage and you’re good to go.

On a related note, I realized I’ve been neglecting GitHub for months, but now I’m back! I also plan to return to the experimentation game after reminiscing about my convex hull, delaunay triangulation, and voronoi studies at work today. When you develop apps all day, writing experiments can be a breath of fresh air, allowing a level of creativity you simply can’t get with apps.

Finally, a cup for giant cookies!

 

Anyone can tell you the key to my heart is cookies—and giant cookies make me blackout. You could dip them by breaking each in half or take it to the extreme and pour the milk on the cookies. Luckily for us, the folks at Entresuelo1a designed a cup intended specifically for the biggins. Now there’s good news and bad news. The bad: their online store isn’t up yet. The good: you can email them at info@entresuelo1a.com if you’re interested—I know I am!

Jen's Black-Eyed Susan

 

I accompanied Jen at Read Street Tattoo Parlour as she acquired her fourth tattoo. To go along with her PA ink of a Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign, she had Charlie Foos draw a fancy Black-Eyed Susan, the Maryland state flower. Hopefully, next time she goes for one, I’ll have a solid idea for my first—I just can’t commit to anything yet.

Why didn't I think of this: Photoshop keyboard stickers

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.

Gameboy iPad sleeve

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.

Cleanse yourself with video game soap

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.

Lunablocks jump straight to #1 on my wishlist

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.

I love me some cable organizers

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.

Space Invaders tie

I don’t wear ties very often, but if this Space Invaders tie were in my closet, I’d definitely dress up more often—and I’d pay top dollar if the blue were 0×007998.

Temperature gauge mug

Art Lebedev Studio introduced a mug that displays the bars of a battery gauge if the drink within is hotter than 96.8º, and I need to have it.
