Booze Reviews:
- I’m a big fan of the Nirvino community of cocktail reviewers. Mine can be found at mquinnsweeney.nirvino.com
- 97 Bottles is a new brew review site. I haven’t explored much yet, but it seems like a straightforward review site
- Snooth offers a full community experience with links to online wine merchants to score the best prices
Design Contests:
- Going with the Grain: design a flat pack object from one sheet of plywood and minimal hardware
- Hugo Awards Logo: create the logo for the annual sci-fi lit awards. Be recognized by nerds across the world!
- The 4th Bin: design an e-waste bin to help NYC keep old computers off the curb
Stuff I don’t actually want, but briefly desired:
- Snow White MacBook made me want to mod my MBPro. Garden of Eden or roasted pig with the apple in its mouth?
- My own TV show or video podcast. I don’t want to be famous, but it might be the motivator to get me in better shape
- Moleskin is now letting you customize your little black notebooks.
- Skinny LaMinx offers a great view of her process creating cut paper designs, but who has time for that?
