Hey everyone!

This week has been a weird mix of deadline pressure (working on the next issue of Offscreen) and relaxing with childhood friends and family back in my home town in Germany. It's kinda paradoxical that I'm in this tiny country town but I struggle to find enough 'alone time' to really concentrate and get some work done.

Anyway, no lengthy intro from me this week. Enjoy the links below. Oh, and if you are interested in guest-curating an issue of TMD, please just reply — I'm especially looking for ladies to keep a fair balance.

This Weekʼs Line-Up

Giant stickers for your wall
01

Many of you are probably familiar with the sticker maker and marketplace Sticker Mule. Well, now they added a whole new dimension to their existing product line — literally. Cover your office with giant, removable stickers of up to 5 square feet!

 
A beautiful publishing platform
02

Readymag's emphasis on creativity and simplicity makes this site builder tool one of my favourite ones. Whether it's designing a simple website for your event, creating a photo story, publishing a digital magazine, or showcasing your portfolio — Readymag got you covered. I could bowse their examples for hours. 

 
Wear the smiling poo in style
03

It was only a matter of time until someone printed that sh*t on a business shirt. Of course I'm talking about everyone's favourite emoji. I leave the sales pitch to the website: "If you are a gentleman — a thoughtful, passionate gentleman — for whom form and function are like lovers inexorably intertwined in a sultry garden of orchids at dusk, then, by all means, we invite you to order this turd-covered shirt."

 
A podcast about building successful companies
04

I don't listen to a lot of podcasts, but Monocle's The Entrepreneurs is one of the few subscriptions I try to keep up with. Every week the show interviews entrepreneurs across all industries and from all over the world. It's great being able to learn from the experience of people outside my little bubble that is the tech community.

 
A compact, feature-rich device charger
05

The compact Zolt allows you to charge up to three devices via USB (including your laptop) and adds handy little features. You can rotate the entire top to get easy access and when you're done simply wrap the cord around it. It even functions as a night light. US plugs only for now, but leave your email address to be notified about their international roll-out. 

 
Draw on your iPad, see it on your Mac
06

Forget the ol' graphics tablet. Use Astropad to draw on your iPad and see what you do in real-time on your Mac. Make edits on both devices at any time inside a connected image-editing enviroment. I'm embarrassingly bad at drawing, but the look of this app really makes me want to give it another try.
