Also, they secretly have started a really cool blog about design, music, art, etc.

The median household income in most counties is at or below $25,000, with individuals making on average $12,000 a year. For more than three years I have documented rural poverty in eastern Kentucky through the eyes of the White family.

If there’s one thing I love it’s a janky workaround for a stupid problem. Want to get a better iPhone camera without buying the new iPhone 3G S? Get the Griffin Clarifi case. The case has a built in lens that slides into place over the preexisting camera lens to make it much sharper and able to shoot closeups. And at $31 it’s far more economical than upgrading your phone.
