This Weekʼs Line-Up

I'd probably still wear it over my jacket, but this looks like a really neat idea: the Under-The-Jack Pack is so thin you can wear clothes over it. I'm a big fan of compact, slim backpacks because I rarely need more than my laptop, a charger and a little notepad anyway. (It's in prototype phase – available for preorder.)

Here's something to feed your FOMO: Panda is a beautifully designed newsreader that comes loaded with the best resources for the technorati. If I wasn't already anxious enough about my never-ending Twitter stream, I'd totally be all over this.

My fascination with desk innovations continous. Although I doubt this would make a reliable, sturdy desk for long-term use, I love the creativity and execution of this foldable, portable and affordable desk (that's also 100% recyclable).

I admit it: when I was still freelancing I never bothered with contracts and paperwork. Luckily, my clients always paid up. If I did it again today, I'd make sure that I have a proper contract in place, and Bonsai looks like a great way to get this stuff out of the way quickly.

The new Apple Macbook features a single type-C USB connection, and nothing else. With this elegant-looking hub you can get your connections back: three USB 3.0 ports, an SD and a Micro SD card slot.

As a nice juxtaposition to Panda (above), the final link is an inspirational blog I came across this morning. It's part of a new breed of Kinfolk-esque photo blogs that help you escape into a world that mixes natural colours and textures, great design and mystical nature scenes. Like Instagram, it's a great place for daydreaming...
