My friends Tamara and Julie make soaps and other bath and beauty products. My favorite is the Oatmeal & Honey soap.

FeedDemon is an award-winning newsreader for Windows.

Choose any three shirts from the folks who bring you the popular Diesel Sweeties comic. Note the sweet use of Silkscreen.

Gladwell is a staff writer for the New Yorker and wrote two little books called The Tipping Point and Blink. You may have heard me mention them and him on the site from time to time (or all the time, rather).

Each month, you'll receive a signed limited edition 5x7 print of one of Heather's photographs.

You may have seen Eliot's excellent photographic work on slower.net. Prints will be suitable for framing.
