About a week ago, the Turkish government announced that they would be banning the use of Twitter in the country. Naturally this led to an outcry not just from Turkey’s citizens, but from those around the world as well who felt that the move was a little oppressive.
However thankfully not only did Twitter show Turkish users how to continue to tweet, but within Turkey itself, citizens were sharing tips and techniques on how to get around the ban, namely by using Google’s DNS or by installing VPNs. This led to a spike in VPN downloads in Turkey over the weekend that the social network was banned. (more…)

Keyboards come in all shapes and sizes and they all use different types of key switches. For the most part, most keyboards feature either the scissor-type switch or the rubber dome switch. Both are perfectly fine, although typists and gamers out there might tend to prefer keyboards with mechanical switches.
They claim that these keyboards feel more responsive and the clacking sound of the keys is actually pretty comforting and nice to hear. We guess it differs from user to user, and at the end of the day it really is down to personal preference. That being said, if you’re after a mechanical keyboard, Das Keyboard has recently announced the Das Keyboard 4 with multimedia controls, as pictured above. (more…)

Field notes goes au naturale. Image: Field Notes
Imagine eating a steak wrapped in fine leather. Preposterous, I know. But Field Notes, the brand behind the precious memo books of the same name, has accomplished a similar feat. Its paper pages, which are of course made of wood, are now also bound in wood. The company calls this new line of notebooks the Shelterwood edition.
The Shelterwood collection features covers cut from hand-selected cherry trees sustainably grown in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Sixty feet of cherry logs yield 5,000 feet of Field Notes’ “sheer veneer,” and waste from the endeavor, in the form of wood pellets, is used to heat the factory. Field Notes documented the process in a video on its site.
Sandwiched between the covers are 48 pages of Finch Fine “Soft White” 70-pound stock, the same paper you’ll find in the “America the Beautiful” edition notebooks. The ruling is a shade of green that Field Notes calls “Maidenhair,” and the inside covers feature text in a pleasing mossy green color. Three gold staples bind the pages together.
Use a Shelterwood Field Notes book to jot down your musings while traversing a pebble-strewn path in the woods, or to feel a bond with Gaia while you sip your organic, fair-trade espresso while jotting ideas for your startup’s next app. It’s $10 for a 3-pack. You’ll have to wait until spring to get them though.
