LaCie flaunts colorful new flatware

These tangle-free LaCie Flat Cables must work because they managed to slip by our sticky fingers at the time of their release back in early December ’08. LaCie makes these multicolored neon cords in a variety of interfaces, including:

  • USB A to B
  • USB A to Mini B
  • USB A male to A female
  • FireWire 400 to FireWire 400
  • FireWire 400 to FireWire 800
  • FireWire 800 to FireWire 800
  • eSATA to eSATA


A French design firm enlisted by LaCie came up with the flat strip shape that neatly folds into a coil to prevent tangles. The Flat Cables also come with 24 labels so you’ll never wonder what plug goes with a particular device again.

As always, though, design innovation and pretty colors (see: Apple) come at a premium: would you pay 10 dollars each for these cables? Sound off in the comments section!

Bon Iver, ‘Blood Bank’: Free MP3 of the Day

Justin Vernon comes by this project name–sorta-French for “good winter”–honestly, having cut his LP in the snowy isolation of rural Wisconsin. There’s a reason we mythologize such outings. This is pristine lo-fi, run through with icy acoustic guitar and fragile vocals.
