I love stuff like this, especially because it has to do with bikes. Andy Scullion a graphic designer from the UK has put together an illustrated family tree of the bicycle, featuring over 70 bike illustrations. Find out more information from the video below or check out their kickstarter.  Happy biking!

I haven't jumped on the wireless chargers yet, but I'm starting to see some sleek looking design that I would sport on my desk.  Like the Swich Wireless Charger ($140), which is totally different. Offering support for the Qi charging standard, it features a microsuction charging platform with a viewer-friendly angle that can rotate from vertical to horizontal, allowing you to switch the orientation on your phone. In addition, it boasts a ceramic base and platform, with a piece of American walnut cut to resemble the shape of a wave in the middle, making it something you'll be proud to have on your desk.

In the digital age we can get caught up in technology, however sometimes it feels good to just pick up a pen or pencil and jot down our ideas in a notebook.

Mod lets you send your notebook back to them when your done to digitize your ideas and sync them with the Mod App as well as Evernote, OneNote or Dropbox.

The notebook, return shipping, and digitization service are all included in the price per notebook. Watch the video below to get more information or check out there site.

Magic Man has been growing in the indie scene and as well on TCL Playlists, Each track just keeps you wanting more of there style. "The band brings together glowing synth lines, twinkling piano keys, driving percussion and anthemic AM-radio-fuzz vocals to get as close as one can get to a cross between Passion Pit and Death Cab For Cutie." There new album Before the Waves is due to be release on July 8th, however you can now pre-order your copy. Check out Magic Man's website to get updated information.

Tracklist

It has been a while since I have heard any new music from Caribou, so I thought I would share his new single "Can't Do Without You" from his upcoming album Our Love, which is due out October 7th via Merge. Include in this post is his upcoming tours. Unfortunately, I don't see that he is coming to Tampa, which makes me sad, however I show he will be in Orlando.  He has been on my list of artist to see. So I might make the trip to Orlando.  In the mean time check out his works on Soundcloud and check out his other alias Daphni.
