Bon Ami recently set about reviving their brand with the introduction of new labels, new products, and the tag line, "America's Original Natural Home Cleaner." The new line includes dish soap, an all-purpose spray cleaner and a liquid version of the powder that makes it easier to apply to vertical surfaces, in both "free and clear" versions or with a tangerine and thyme scent. The upshot is a line that's safe to use around young kids and pets, better for those who suffer from allergies, better for the environment, and that gets the job done.

If you know your Jacobsen from your Panton, you might get a kick out of this new iPhone app which turns recognising classic furniture into a game. Design Icon: Chairs works by showing silhouettes of design icons and then asking the user for their name, designer or date. It was developed by Mark Stevens from Fail Forwards in Copenhagen and costs $.99 from the App Store. A font version of the app is promised soon.

This looks delicious. Schokoleim by the Deli Garage is a 200 ml hazelnut praline with extra high cocoa content condiment. It's like a chocolate glue made to traditional, hand made methods using selected cocoa beans and nothing but the best hazelnut oil. Yum.

Search "Print Liberation" in b!POP and you'll get a ton of hits. We probably blog about them just as much as we do bikes. It's not that we're obsessed, we just kind of have that same social commentary perspective and dark humor personality. And with that, enjoy "The End|" tee, a simple white on black tee in trademark Print Liberation font.

Craig Damrauer is the artist and writer behind New Math, a website presenting a wonderfully malleable way of defining topics with simple sums.

Kevin Drew and Do Make Say Think multi-instrumentalist/BSS collaborator Ohad Benchetrit named this “All To All” remix after Drew’s 2007 solo collection Spirit If…. Not just to sell more copies of Spirit If…. This version empties out the Forgiveness Rock Record anthem, transforming it into a ambient exploration of space that would fit well on Drew’s earlier, sparer, weirder outing. And much like that older collection, it’s “solo” only in spirit.
