DAGGERWRIST - If there is any creature other than the floating Eosapien that exhibits well-developed social behavior upon Darwin, it is the arboreal Daggerwrist. Living exclusively in the dwindling pocket-forests of the planet, these roughly man-sized creatures travel in small bands, communicating with bursts of sonar pings and following the movements of their prey, the small, quick flyers called Trunk-suckers. Bearing piton-like forelimbs, gliding membranes and powerful ricochetal hind-limbs, the Daggerwrists are perfectly adapted for life in the tree-tops.

NR2154

03
Established by Jacob Wildschiødtz and Troels Faber, NR2154 is a multidisciplinary design studio specialising in graphic design.  They are Danish by the looks of it, which I fully support.  They do a good line in stamps which I also fully support.

Stick Stuck - The New Republic on Prefab Housing

Here's an interesting article on Prefab housing by Sarah Williams Goldhagen in the latest issue of The New Republic magazine.  From the article:

Technologically, there is no reason why houses, like cars, cannot be mass-produced, and in other countries they are constructed that way. Prefabricated, mass-produced homes, like mass-produced cars, offer myriad advantages. Fewer resources, material and labor, are wasted. Weather does not dictate construction schedules. Higher and consistent quality is more easily and reliably achieved, because the product is fabricated in the controlled setting of a manufacturing plant, with all the attendant cost advantages. The Swedish residential building industry has long been dominated by prefabricated construction: nationally uniform building systems made possible an abundance of companies manufacturing high quality kit and modular homes and prefabricated housing components. By the 1980s, prefabrication was used in 85 percent of new residential construction. (Not surprisingly, Sweden-based Ikea offers its own prefabricated house.)

They maintain a certain level of tact — Spümcø's squeezable doll didn't get a mention — though standards may have dropped slightly with their link to the dancing iPod dock.
