Hand-Picked Links — June 2026

It’s a scorcher out there. Stay cool with these fun links.

Designed in California

Very good friends of Cotton Bureau Jason Snell and Myke Hurley are producing a 50 episode podcast series on the history of Apple product design to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary. The project is already more than 5X funded, locking in live shows in San Francisco and London. It’s not too late to support, though time is running out. Campaign ends Wednesday, July 1 at noon Eastern.

Chicken & Goose Stickers

Get a pack of waterproof vinyl stickers from 6th grader Mini Kestner featuring her feathered friends for just $10. The campaign is over, but Kickstarter says you can still back the project. Proceeds will be used to fulfill orders, and buy more chickens. Maybe if you support at a high enough level Mini will let you name one?

Offkilter Guitars

Our good friend Dan Povost (of Studio Neat) spent so much time modding his electric guitar he decided it would be easier to just build his own. If you need a custom guitar, he’ll build one for you too.

nLab

Back in Kickstarter land, you have less than 72 hours to support nLab and get “the world’s smallest all-in-one electronics lab”. For $179 you (or maybe a recent high school graduate entering an engineering program in the fall) get everything you need to start learning how to harness the power of electricity.

Still Cool Font

Our friend Annica Lydenberg aka Dirty Bandits is now officially a font designer, recently releasing Still Cool, Pucker Up, Bingo Night, and Almuerzo.

Consider this a sneak peek of our upcoming Feature Friday conversation with Annica.

That’s a wrap. Don’t forget to follow @cottonbureau.com on Bluesky and Instagram.
