I love it when street style and tech come together as does with this KRINK laptop sleeve by Arkitip, a project of Incase “aimed at rtistically embellished Apple products to users who have an appreciation for the creative arts and technology.” Krink pens were developed by graffiti writer and artist, Craig “KR” Costello out of a variety of homemade inks and markers for use in both street and studio environments. “KR’s products gained notoriety by their association with his work in the street, the studio, and by his dripping ink aesthetics.” Available at $79.95 for MacBook and MacBook Pro 15 In.

DEFENDER of the favicon is little pixel game that plays as the browser’s favicon. It’s “a JavaScript remake of Eugene Jarvis’ brilliant arcade game Defender written by Mathieu ‘p01’ Henri and inspired by Scott Schiller’s experiment with generated favicons VU meter. The idea was to push the concept of generated favicons further and pack a thrilling retro shooter in 16x16 pixels using JavaScript, canvas and data: URIs.  Press N to start a game or shoot, and WASD or the arrow keys to move your Defender over the humanoid city. If your browser struggles to update the favicon, press enter to toggle between favicon & canvas display.” [via dalmaer on twitter]

"Equally suited to land and sea. Chrome roll-top waterproof backpacks challenge the assumptions of how waterproof bags should be built. Our ground breaking design brings together two separate, and typically opposed, ideologies of backpack construction. First we start with a superior all-weather backpack with large easy access external cargo pockets, urethane coated YKK zippers, large external wet-dry pocket, comfortable shoulder straps, daisy chain lash points, haul loop handle, waist strap, adjustable sternum strap, and unbreakable stainless steel hardware. Next, we add to the main compartment, a fully waterproof liner with high frequency RF welded seams, and finish the whole thing off with a watertight roll-top closure. This dual bag ideology creates a bag that is completely waterproof when it needs to be, but exceptionally functional for the other 99% of the time that it is above water.” I’ll take one in fluorescent pink, thank you.

Matthew Kozak made a fractal scene of a self-replicating robot. “Several years ago, I built a robot whose sole purpose in life was to create an even smaller robot just like himself… So much like himself, that this robot endeavored to create yet another tiny robot, ad infinitum. This continued for a while until an extremely tiny speck of robot tried to endow purpose upon a cloud of molecules with ruinous result.”
