2013 Robot Calendar: A ‘Bot for Every Month

Robots can serve a wide variety of purposes, ranging from security, to surveillance to making breakfast. So why not celebrate robotic diversity next year with this awesome 2013 robot calendar?

Designed by Fifty Five Hi’s in collaboration with Justin Mezzell, the 4-color screenprinted, 16×24 wall calendar features a different robot for each month. But they’re not just any robots, no. Each one represents its month in its own special robotic way.

For instance, there’s a robot leprechaun for March, a robot scarecrow for September, and a not-so-tasty robot turkey for Thanksgiving. Say, wasn’t there a robot turkey on an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

Book Scarves: Wear the Greatest Stories Ever Told… Around Your Neck

Stories are more than just mere words on paper. They have the power to carry you off to faraway lands while making you care for characters as if they were your friends in real life. Stories can also serve as your temporary escape from the real world whenever you need to take a break from real life.

Given the power of said books, I think it’s just appropriate to pay homage to them at least once in a while. That’s exactly what Tori Iannario did by coming up with this series of Wrap Up With A Good Book scarves.

They’re basically lightweight scarves with text from some of the most renowned works in the literary world screenprinted on them, like Pride and PrejudicePersuasionJane Eyre, and Tale of Two Cities.

They’re a great gift for the librarian or English lit major in your life – though they might be a little difficult to read when they’re wearing one. The story scarves are available on Tori’s storiarts Etsy shop for $39.99(USD) each.
