I’ve got to say – I’m not really one to think twice about a mouse pad, but this A4 Mouse Pad by Kitmen Keung is beautiful in its minimalism.

It comes in charcoal gray, orange and cambridge blue.

This is both heartbreaking and amazing. William Utermohlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 1995. From the year of diagnosis, until his death in 2007, William painted self portraits as a means of understanding his disease.
