The Bookmark II


By David Ponce

We like it when designers re-invent the wheel elegantly. In this case, someone’s re-invented the bookmark and actually made it more useful. The Bookmark II is a simple rubber band with an arrow on one side and a “Bookmark” tab on the other. The arrow allows you to point to the line you were last reading and the tab to open the book up to the appropriate page. It’s simple.

Unfortunately, we don’t know how to get a hold of one, though it’s allegedly made by Propaganda. We can’t find a reference to it on the site though. Hit the jump for another image. (Incidentally, we think they made an interesting choice of line on the picture above)

Subconsciously Inspired

Yesterday I dared to struggle, today I dare to win.


Whatever you do in life, do your best.


Just do it.


Inspiring, aren’t they? It’s hard to disagree that we all seek inspiration from poets and saints. We believe in what we read and hear from them. But I always wondered where do they get their source of inspiration from… until the day I “SUBCONSCIOUSLY” came up with a quote when I was questioned – “What is it that I want to ACHIEVE five years from now?” And I said, "It is something I'd like to talk about, the day it becomes my ACHIEVEMENT." :-) I paused, pondered and smiled at those words that rolled out. And I realized that we each of us contain a treasure of inspiration in our subconscious minds. We only need to unlock the key for those inspiring words to flow.

Well, I know, it may not be the greatest quote ever, but it did the greatest thing for me.


From that day on,
I talk to my subconscious mind more often.


From that day on,
I believe more in my mind, and myself.


From that day on,
I’m subconsciously inspired!
