The fantastic-beyond-compare SwissMiss blog is turning 5 and I’m so sad that I can’t attend the bash. So instead I’m participating virtually, via the Flickr party. There’s some great stuff there — be sure to check out all the other well-wishers’ wishes.

The Infinite USB — designed by Gonglue Jiang and winner of the iF Concept Award for 2010. Brilliant and beautiful. Can’t wait to get one and get rid of the ugly USB hub hiding sheepishly behind my computer.

Found this today on Mr. Lady’s Posterous. Lightsaber chopsticks. Awesome, right?

Buy them here.

And if you aren’t already familiar with Mr. Lady, you should be. She’s one of my most favoritest people. Go check her out here and here.

Loving this new camera bag from Photojojo. It’s almost as perfect as they come except it doesn’t have room for a laptop, darnit. That’s my number one need — camera + laptop in one. For to take on trips when I need both + lenses. That isn’t so large it tips me over backward.

But if I were just buying a new camera bag, this is definitely the one I’d buy.

Get it here.

Got an empty shampoo bottle and some free time? Why not make yourself this fantastic lens cap holder for your camera! New-to-me inventor Benvelo has provided templates and step-by-step instructions for you to DIY. It’s a little on the complicated side, but with super cool results.

Heck. You can even make it cute.

Find the complete project here.
