Beautiful TN Icons by Thomas Huang

Thanks to my great friend Mr. Thomas Huang who generously shared these beautiful Mac icons to the world.  I couldn't help but to post them immediately.  2 weeks ago Thomas was being invited to our culture club LOG-ON Togather to share his "10 Reasons to Love TN" to our members.  During his presentation, he promised to share some of his beautifully created icons and he did just now.  Enjoy!  Download here.

這是Thomas在聚會中答應大家的Mac icon。以下是他在Traveler's Notebook Hong Kong User Group面書群組的post:

各位TNHKUG的朋友新年快樂！今年第一件事，就是為大家獻上在LOG-ON答應大家要製作的叮叮車icon組（Mac only），請大家自由下載！
有任何使用上的問題，歡迎留言喔！Windows版本請再等等，謝謝！

Chronodex Now Runs on The Little Printer

Scription updates are faster on Flickr and Instagram, only because I could only do small updates, so please stay tuned with me.

The Little Printer is so adorable I instantly fell in love with her when I first saw prototypes online.  Folks at Bergcloud has given life to a digital device in a very different way.  I used to have ambient devices and Nabaztag at home but they were things just sitting around, walk away from home and you are "disconnected" with them.  The Little Printer however allows you to subscribe to publications which print in specified times, you can take the tiny publications such as Daily Puzzles, Pixel Presidents, etc and enjoy tibits in transits or on the move, quite interestingly a cool "analogue" aspect of a connected device.

I finally asked my friend in UK to help got me one (they don't ship worldwide yet) and since then anticipating publications to arrive day after day.  It also got my kid's interest a lot.  Once in a while I would print a message while I am on the way back home, knowing that my kid would jump to look at it :)  "Need dinner at 8:15pm, so hungry" something like that.  It is great fun.  Oh I can even take a photo while I'm in business trip and send it back to the printer and my family gets to know what's going on, loving this feature too.

As a big fan of The Little Printer, I've also made Chronodex available on the platform as a subscription, you can use it as a simple shopping list, a weekend tiny to-do or even use it daily for simple tasks.  I find that separating work tasks from personal or home related tasks pleasurable, and I hope many of you Little Printer owners find the publication interesting too.

Thanks for the kind words from folks at Bergcloud, loving it and expecting more interesting publications.

Meet Yourself - A Back To School 2011 Event 12th Aug - 1st Sep

This year our back to school theme will be "Meet Yourself!" in city'super and LOG-ON.  I realized for a long while that we've never really geared our promotion in terms of "school supplies", but rather "Personalization, Customization and Individualism".  So I decided to play down the "back to school" name a bit and "invited" 9 very distinct characters whom you will find appearing in our event area and on leaflets, to show you what they like, perhaps you will identify yourself to some of them naturally.

In this event, which is a painstakingly difficult thing to pull off involving so many parties, we will have Personalization Zone, Gadgets and Basic Stationery Zone, iPad/iPhone/Headphone Zone, Fashion/Bag Zone and Brand Zone.  All in Times Square city'super for the period 12th Aug to 31st Aug (while in other stores, they are the smaller sized versions of the Times Square one and last until 1st Sep).

As usual, we get the privileged support from various Japanese stationery makers to have offer items that are new and exclusively imported for this event: UNI StyleFit single body with dot patterns, UNI Cutie & Cool series, PILOT Coleto Heart series (very difficult to get from Japan!), PENTEL Vicuna 2+1 pen, ZEBRA award winning Arbez series.

Our dear friends from Korea stationery industry also supported us with brand new product lines and beautiful displays.  I wish we had more time and manpower to cope with their sheer volume of creativity. Brands include: Antenna Shop, 7321 Design, E2, Pony Brown, Lollipop, Indigo, Elago, Vistadesign, etc.

Chocolate Rain fans will be delighted to see a 1.7m Fatina along side with a bunch of new products such as umbrella, keychain, iPad cases, etc, thanks to Prudence and her friendly partners to make it happen again this year.

Staedtler will be demonstrating how to use their coloring products, while an exclusive DIY pencil set will be available too.  Cote et Ciel new arrival from France.  Soul by Ludacris demonstration booth with show girls.  Hello Kitty speakers, Jays earphones, Tunewear collections, iHome mood light speakers, mix tape USB drive, music match and doll earphones, water dancing speakers, etc etc.

Purchase any Nike bags from us you will also get this cool notebook set for free (while stock last, about a thousand pieces).  It is a nylon cover with 3 A5 sized notebook refills (ruled, squared and plain).  North Face, Puma, Gregory bags will be present in the event too.  Don't forget to check out our own production bags which each of the series are named after those 9 characters I mentioned above (Nicole, Nic, Mandy, Rika, Nikki, Matt, Max, Wilson, Eagle).

I'm not very organized here but you will soon see our "Meet Yourself!" leaflet coming out, feel free to pick it up and explore.  There is even a matching game with very nice prizes, you just have to figure out which pair of those 9 characters are currently "in a relationship" :)
