P Hooks

I really like these colourful little plastic loops to pull magazines out of your bookcase and I guess you can hook it into a page you really want to remember too so its kind of a bookmark as well. The only problem is its a bit late. Magazines are like slow (and expensive) blogs, I keep wondering if they'll be obselete soon. Magazines are always going to be a month late breaking news and showcasing new products and they can't embed videos, they're going have to find new and clever ways to keep us buying. The last one I bought was Wired last year so I had something to read on a plane, there's no 3G in the sky yet. I find it much easier to read large chunks of text on paper instead of a screen but new products like the kindle look and read like real paper so I'm sure our desktops and laptops will follow soon. In the meantime I'll rely on my rss reader to deliver me the latest design news and browse the magazine stand in whsmith when I've got some time to kill.
