An Apple a Day Wall Calendar

Apple calendar from Germany reminds us that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Every day, after you remove one apple from the tube and eat it, the rest of the apples will move down and reveal today’s date. At the end of the month, the tube is refilled with 31, 30 or 28 apples.

The Storyboard Book

"The problem with all those other sketchbooks is they’re pretentious and overpriced. The Storyboard Book is for the People! A lightweight, portable, and durable sketchbook for storyboarding, sketching, listmaking, visualization, plans, doodles, and just about anything else. The idea is simple: a frame for the action and space for notes, story, dialog, stage directions, enemies lists, etc. The Storyboard Book is designed to be used as a personal sketchbook, but also sized to be handy for project notes and ideas."

Really cool!!
