I know for a fact that I don’t *need* these Fluffy Animal Wrist Cushion but I want to need one. Too cute.
Maybe it’s the control freak in me, but I love being able to customize and tweak all aspects of the things I own. Whether it’s painting the legs of an Ikea couch or redoing the hardware on an old dresser, making a few changes to create a slightly more custom version of a standard object makes me happy. That custom obsession even applies to things like computers- so when I saw these beautiful hand-drawn icons from Nina Azzarello I was hooked. Nina is a graphic designer who created a set of hand-drawn and hand-cut computer icons that you can download and use to customize your computer desktop. Nina hand drew and cut out each little icon (for music, calendars, word processing, etc.) and then turned them into digital image files you can upload and use to replace the standard icons that come with your computer. I’ve always been someone who swapped out my desktop wallpaper on a regular basis, so I love the idea of designers creating more beautiful versions of the standard icons we all have to see on a daily basis. Click here to check out Nina’s website and here for her Etsy shop where you can buy and download this set of 12 icons for $6. Thanks, Nina! xo, grace

It's better than the real ones. If I still was a creative director, I'd hire whoever created this.
This would be an inspired spot.

The inspiring Ping Fu gave a fantastic CreativeMornings talk in January. This is a short we just released where she talks about her personal recipe for happiness: Pleasure, Flow + Meaning.
(A big thank you to Ben for taping our talks!)
Remember the '90s? Or do you just think you do? Case in point: this screenshot of Pizza Hut's website, circa 1995. It's blurry 'cause it's all old 'n' stuff.
The image, posted this week by Business Insider, is pulled from the show "Computer Chronicles," conveniently archived on YouTube.
You can catch the whole episode below—though entirely unrelated to pizza, it's sort of like watching a nature documentary about an alien species, and therefore great. Like pizza! Or just jump to 11:50 to catch Pizza Hut's golden moment of early internet product placement. Which is oddly enough introduced in the context of "web games." Such curious animals...
Warning, the announcer really likes to say The Net.

Yup, he said, "And there's the famous Pizza Hut homepage on the web."
About the author: Niki Achitoff-Gray is the editor of Slice and a part-time student at the Institute of Culinary Education. She's pretty big into pizza.
Breaking news! Rifle Paper Co., the gorgeous stationery shop, just launched ten iPhone cases. Aren't they beautiful? They come in three styles for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4. Which is your favorite? I'm loving the pink ombre and, of course, the map of Manhattan.
