It’s amazing to us how Craigslist can be all at once indispensable and cumbersome. Browsing through tons of irrelevant postings takes a lot out of a man who just wants to sell a pink 1956 Philco refrigerator in Chicago, find an apartment for under $2000 a month in DUMBO, and hook up with a leather-fetishist in San Francisco. Crgslst (which claims it’s “so fast, the vowels are left behind”) understands. Using an AJAX search API, this site grabs from Craigslist’s RSS feeds to not only allow you to search faster, but also browse multiple cities at once. You should definitely go check out the sexy before Mr. Newmark has them shut down.

Unlike most of IKEA’s offerings, the French furniture designers at Domestic makes plywood sexy. These functional birch-wood pieces are reminiscent of those balsa wood model kits you used to make dinosaur skeletons out of. Vases, occassional tables, birdcages, hanging planters…there’s a fairly wide range of pre-cut packages you can assemble. You may even remember when we fell in love with their TADO collab a while back. If your home or office needs a touch of the freaky, look no further.

After Sao Paulo’s mayor implemented its yay-worthy Clean City law in 2007 that prohibits egregiously large signage and advertising in public and was heralded around the world, Tony de Marco went around photographing the empty spaces formerly occupied by these signs, some of which announce their former past through the presence of a ghost imprint burned into the walls by the sun and others by their hollowed-out metal skeletons. He caused somewhat of a sensation because the results were so interesting and one of the few projects to document this movement. De Marco just shared that he’s now one of the 10 recipients out of 190 entrants to receive a co-sponsorship for his short film documentary about the subject from the country’s Ministry of Culture, a heady award equivalent to $23,000. I’m not sure what the money will go toward or where there’s info about the film itself, but for sure, the movie will be integrated into the archives at the Sao Paulo Cultural Center. Currently, de Marco’s photos are on show as part of a group exhibit at the London Design Museum until the end of April. What’s more, filmmaker Wim Wenders will be including some of de Marco’s photos in scenes in his upcoming movie. Super inspiring work, Tony!

Some people work hard all their lives and never get anything they want. Other people start awesome websites and end up getting everything their little heart desires. We count our old friends Justin & Christine as part of the latter group. The masterminds behind the sites Wants For Sale and Needs for Sale, paint the objects of desire and necessity and sell them for the cost of said object. Yes, yes, we know we've told you about them before, but we're telling you about them again because A- they're awesome and B they've just updated Wants for Sale. That's right, their little hearts have not given up desiring and this time around they're asking to ‘Get Into The MoMa’ and for ‘Custom Adidas.’ There’s still a few left, and who are you to deny them?
