It’s about time someone came up with a version of Scrabble that’s cool. This will make them put down their video games and try it out.  Top quality materials, and great typography.

If you’re  a big Edgar Allan Poe fan (like me), these illustrations by  Harry Clarke  from the book Tales of Mystery and imagination will really augment the stories for you. The book is a compendium of some of Poe’s best, the Pit and the Pendulum, the Telltale Heart and more. Click on the link lower down on I09′s page to see large versions of  the images, very scary–great lifework.

Google art project is a cool way to get a look at a ton of art, most of it from the masters. It’s not a complete collection yet, but like everything Google, it’s growing. Nice interface too.
