If you are anything like us, the “wacky” college years were full of clutter and mess, and cleaning up consisted of throwing as much as we can under a futon and letting the sleeping blanket drape to the ground.  Hanging coats and bags was also an adventure… your closet would tend to look like the coat check of some swanky new club whose name is simply the first half of a verb.

Well, have no fear!  Design Within Reach is here!  Well, they’ve BEEN here, but now they can help offer up a solution… and a pretty stylish one as well.   The HookBox from DWR has a nice bin in the top and a hook (gasp!) in the bottom, helping keep your nice Adidas zip-up off of the spray-mount infested floor.  Comes in red and black. On sale now for a mere $98.

K.I.T.T. is back, well actually it is his little brother of another mother.  No longer a Pontiac they went after the only muscle car currently alive - the Ford Mustang GT500.  NBC will have a 2 hour premiere  in February to start the new series.  Any bets on how long it will last?

Jalopnik has some good pics of the car which is as usual overdone, how many wings do you really need?

Suzuki has been pretty active over the last year. This is the third or fourth concept car in the past couple of months. The others were nothing much to look at, but this has promise. Could Suzuki finally have “A” Star?

It is a rare occasion that we come across a time-waster that is worth a design student’s effort. Portal is that time-waster, my friends. As part of the Orange Box compilation that is gracing HD consoles everywhere, Portal is a puzzle game wrapped in an FPS guise.

The story is fantastic, the comedy is wonderful, and the final ending song is one to remember for the ages.
