Stuff We’re Into

Fundred
Normally we wouldn’t recommend counterfeiting money, but we promise it’s for a good cause. To match the estimated cost needed to protect New Orleans’ youth from lead contamination, the Fundred Dollar Bill Project wants at least 3 million Americans to create their own $100 bills. When their goal is met, they’ll ask Congress for an equal contribution.

OurGoods
Bartering? Isn’t that for, like, fur trappers? Don’t tell the people behind OurGoods, a new social network that lets creative individuals share their resources. The site streamlines the process by matching up artists based on their “skills, spaces and objects.”

“How are you today?” This leads to simple visualizations of how cities around the world are feeling that day. As of press time, Austin is in a better mood than Hollywood.

(h)earing aid
Hipsters don’t believe it, but they too, get old. The (h)earing aid from Designaffairs is a way to cope. Crafted to resemble earplugs, this little bit of technology helps aging indie rockers keep their street cred. Still no word on if it’ll make your band sound better.
