We recently discovered a really cool website called Engrave Your Book. Engrave Your Book curates an artist series of engraved leather covers for Moleskine® notebooks, and you can even get custom covers engraved for yourself or your company! There are some really cool designs available for purchase, including the one above by Option-G. Take a look at some of the cool images below:

Yesterday, in true EJ fashion, she sent an email to the entire Orange Element staff that asked simply “Who left the elephant poo on my desk? Cool!” For a while I was really confused. Why would elephant poo be on her desk, much less in our office? And why would she think that was cool?

After a while my curiosity got the best of me and I had to go ask her what it was all about. It turns out, Andy Bonner had left a paper sample on her desk that was literally made from elephant dung. I’m not kidding and it’s not what you think. It actually looks like real paper – it’s light in color and it DOESN’T SMELL. I swear, I brought it up to my nose and…nothing.

I did a little more research and came up with this site: www.elephantdungpaper.com

We love sustainable products like this and we hope it becomes mainstream. What a great way to use a waste product for something good–after all, that’s what recycling is all about. And the best part is that every time you use this paper, it helps to save the elephants. Good stuff. I can’t wait to see the look on our clients’ faces when we recommend printing their next marketing piece on elephant poo.

Let me start this post by saying that I am 5′7.5″ and I haven’t measured, but I probably have about a 6″ vertical leap. I am no basketball star. In fact, in pickup leagues, I get picked last. Even still, I want these, just for the cool factor. Have you heard about Nike’s new basketball shoe worn recently by Steve Nash that is made entirely by recycling manufacturing waste? It’s the most environmentally conscious shoe Nike has ever made and it is dubbed the Nike Trash Talk.

You can read more about them HERE. I wonder how many of the street ball players in Baltimore already snatched these up?
