Soft maps

I was so busy assembling, taking pictures of and putting together that enormous post about self-watering planters the last few days that I completely missed this neat thing they linked to at the Clog: blankets and pillows embroidered with a city grid.

Pillow of Brooklyn Heights

At the moment, all they’ve got on the a la carte menu are the Brooklyn neighborhoods most likely to buy a $600 blanket (hi, Park Slope!), but you can get one made of any neighborhood for an extra 10%. Hey, can I get those next to their respective google maps?

Arright, that’s pretty cool. Can someone get the ice broken on Philly please? Although I guess the icebreaker would probably be Rittenhouse, anyhow.

Haptic Lab: Soft maps

Beware, if you click on “About Haptic Labs” there’s an incredibly loud and annoying flashing image/background music thing that comes up. I’ve accidentally done it twice and it scared the hell out of me both times.
