Boxsal: cardboard picnic boxes
There’s no better time than now to hit the park with a picnic and your sweetie. Time to dig in your closet and pull out your bulky, wicker basket. Or not. Instead, make a statement with a Boxsal and choose one of three eco-friendly cardboard picnic boxes from the design firm, The Brand Hatchery.
Is that a boom box you’re listening to? Are your confidential notes in that briefcase? Can we have fun painting by numbers? No, no, and yes. But keep in mind that what you’re looking at are post-consumer pulp picnic boxes complete with compostable utensils, plates, cups, napkins and the ability to pack in a great deal of food plus, the most important thing, a bottle of wine. Besides a popsicle, it seems that this may just be another way to stay cool during these bright Summer months.

A year ago you could happily find me here, writing for Lost At E Minor, and cooking away in Los Angeles restaurant kitchens. A year later, I’ve launched Sqirl (for the old saying ‘Squirreling Things Away’), a preservation company dedicated to jams, jellies, and marmalades made from certified organic seasonal fruit no more than 200 miles from Sqirl’s commercial kitchen.

‘Tis the season for hard cider. So says Eric Asimov, and people tend to heed his recommendations. At least, I do. So while I scour my favorite haunts for the beautiful natural cider from Julien Frémont’s symbiotic Apple Orchard and Cattle Farm in Normandy, France (you must find this), I’m also looking for Lobo’s honest Cider rendition: cloudy and unfiltered from Adelaide Hills, Australian apples.

Ok, so this one doesn’t quite match the bike that plays vinyl while you ride, but it’s a very cool look all the same. Furniture designer Arnolt van Der Sman created this retro-styled bike from solid beech and ash, spending some 80 hours working on this one of a kind project. Brilliant. Read more
Check out this rad and super stylish iPad dock by designer Jonas Damon that turns it into a TV. I think iPads are pretty dumb, but this device almost makes me want to get one.

Fashion blogger Tavi is biting, witty, articulate, and stylish for any age. The fact that she’s only twelve makes her kind of over-the-top amazing. Already an accomplished photographer and astute critic of all things wearable, the sarcastic pre-teen is probably sick of being described as precocious, but she’s the very definition of the word.
Stylistically The Asteroids Galaxy Tour is hard to pin down, except to say that they throw one hell of a party – which may be why those music-loving folks at Apple chose them to help sell what’s being touted as ‘the funnest iPod ever’. Sun-drenched pop melodies collide with Technicolor dreams, anchored by the band’s shared love of the classic soul stylings of Marvin, Stevie and Sly that can be heard in the horns snaking through Around The Bend, as well as the slinky The Sun Ain’t Shining No More [below], the Thomas Gold remix of which we have available for free download in the Music Download section of Lost At E Minor [psst, it's in the third column], along with a stack of other cool tunes. Get those iPods ‘a thumpin’!
