Cantenna Wireless Booster Antenna
First to recommend
Description
Okay, clearly I’m NOT advocating stolen wireless signals. But, if someone were to need access to his/her own personal wireless signal, this amazing little Pringles can would find it! Just point in the direction of a signal and wham! Full Strength! (via Cantenna)

Jim Krause's Design Books
First to recommend
Description
Okay, so using color reference books may be considered the mark of an amateur, but I’ll readily admit that Jim’s collection of books has become an extremely useful source of instant inspiration. Plus, the set of three comes in a cool clear carrying case that only Mac users can love. (via How Design)

Microsoft Money 2006 Small Business
First to recommend
Description
Okay, so I figured that hell would freeze over before I would actually endorse any product from the big “M.” But, I must say that Money has quickly become an essential backbone of my freelancing business. Most notably, the Small Business Edition has a place to enter time for projects and instantly generate custom invoices for freelance clients. Although many sites recommend Quicken, it was this feature that sold me on Money. (via Microsoft)

Hidamari no Tami Bobbleheads
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Though my Japanese knowledge is non-existent, apparently their name translates to “Sunshine People” and it’s definitely a fitting title. These little guys bring a sense of calm and balance to an otherwise crazy world… all with just the gradual nod of their little solar-powered bobbleheads. Good times! (via Atamaii Toys)

I find this series of books to be extremely useful to intermediate designers. The concepts in each book are extensive and extremely relevant to the current trends in Flash design. (via Friends of Ed)

Even if you’re not an illustrator, these tablets come in handy when you are trying to achieve a more organic feel to your work. Definitely start with the consumer version and if you love it, then upgrade to a pro version. (via Wacom)

Dell 2405FPW UltraSharp 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
First to recommend
6 people recommended this item
Description
As a New Yorker with very little desk space, this monitor rivals CRT displays with great contrast ratio. At 24 inches, it is the perfect size for a designer –without the clunkiness of a dual-monitor setup. Plus, it’s great for watching movies. (via Dell)
