This Weekʼs Line-Up

Made by Toronto-based homeware design company Umbra, this little wooden storage box makes me feel like a handyman – even if most of my tools live on the screen and don't require a storage box. (Comes in different sizes, too!)

tlk.io is a simple little web-app that makes instant messaging in a private chat room as easy as sharing a URL. It's great for ad-hoc meetings if the back and forth via email gets a little too cumbersome (and you don't yet use Slack).

The V03B series by VOID Watches is totally my cup of tea. I also don't mind the cheap-ish looking nylon strap – it takes away some of the pretentiousness that comes with a lot of designer watches. And at USD 185.00 it's also still relatively affordable.

I'm currently trying (and struggling) to get back into a regular yoga routine to give my back a break. Perhaps I should give Streak a spin – an iOS app with the sole purpose of keeping track and reminding you of things you aim to do regularly.

The market for minimal wallets seems to be insaturable. Here's another good-looking little wallet, currently being kickstarted. I feel so old-school with my trusty coin pocket.

This is one of my most-used iPhone apps. Mail to Self does exactly what the name suggests: it adds a 'mail to self' option to your iOS share sheet so that you can quickly email yourself anything you come across on your phone – in almost any app. It's great, but it's also a work-around. Even after so many years and despite a bazillion new apps, we still need to email ourselves stuff we want to keep/remind ourselves of, because that's the only thing that integrates deeply into iOS. :-/
