I was out for a stroll the other day when I heard it: the tinkling, warbling, tinny sound of summer — an ice cream truck! I couldn't even pretend to play it cool.

The Goodhood Store has been selling clothing and accessories for men and women since '07 but this year saw the launch of their Life Store, stocked with fresh and funky goods to outfit the home. The folks behind The Goodhood Store set out to be the destination for design in London's East End. Luckily for those of us who don't get the UK often (or ... ever) they also have a great web shop. 

What do you need when you sit down to work? Your computer, a cup of coffee or tea? Paper, if you're the brainstorming type. Oh, and loads of inspiration. Why not cover your office wall with art, prints, maps, photos, diagrams, and anything else that gets your brain pumping?

Are you hoping to raise your child in your own geeky likeness? No worries, there are products out there to help you on your way. We scoured Etsy, a nerd haven with its own "Geekery" category, and rounded up the best, nerdiest baby mobiles out there. Whether you are an ardent supporter of House of Stark or have built your very own Tardis, you'll find something here you'll love.

Adobe announced this week at Adobe MAX, The Creativity Conference their Creative Suite as we've always known is no more. They've replaced the software package with the "Creative Cloud," essentially the same products, but without the option of owning a physical copy. You'll rent Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign for a fee each month...and this may be the future of software.
