| Dorothea Campbell is just one of the guys at the garage where she works. Yes, she needs a milk crate to reach some things but that doesn’t slow her at all. I love these milkcrates in the workplace stories, they speak to the basest facts of the milkcrate lifestyle. –> Read the full story here |

| Milkcrate construction is one of my favorite subjects. This tower was built (and sadly was only up for about 6 months) at the Yorkshire, England in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. From the press release: “German artists Winter/Hörbelt were commissioned by Arts Council England, Yorkshire to create Cratehouse for Castleford, a beautiful, light-filled structure constructed from shipping containers and bottle crates.” I love stuff like this, and it inspires me to do more building. –> Cratehouse at Castleford press release from September 18th, 2006 |
| I’ve stumbled across this young woman’s blog. I think she’s from Japan, and the photo above is from her recent camp trip. Apparently they do this activity, “milkcrate stacking”, and it’s some kind of sanctioned thing. They are wearing helmets, but this still seems like a pretty bad idea. That’s not to say that I haven’t done this myself, but I’m quite a dumbass sometimes. –> My Love is You, camp update |

| Andy Macdonald is a very under-rated skateboarder. His ability and skill is unmatched on vert, and he is very inventive and clever. This video is part of the American Misfits show I believe. –> See the whole video |
| This vehicle(?) is a moving music making machine powered by the sound of milk bottles. It was created for Walk the Plank for the inaugural and very first Manchester Art Car Parade. –> Story from MakeZine here –> Tonefloat website |

| The milk crate and the kayak go hand in hand (apparently). This bad boy is geared up with a sweet optimized black crate outfitted with 4 fishing rod holders. I’ve posted about the link before (milkcrate-kayak connection & kayaking with a milkcrate) and I see more coming. –> You can read the whole forum post here from the capmel.com. |
| Some people just know how to use the handy milkcrate. Jim from indiana is a volunteer who uses milkcrates to help him do his volunteer work. Not only is he doing good for his community, he’s doing it while living the milk crate lifestyle. –> Full Story here |

| Some people have a problem with the illegal distribution and losses associated with free range milkcrates. For those people, Filmtools.com comes to your moral aid, and for $19.50 (or $420 for 24) will sell you real life 6-gallon milkcrates. I wonder how they get them? |

| I’m not really sure what to say about this one. A blogger who writes for the Seattle Post Intelligencer claims to have bought this yellow milkcrate at one of those big box organize you life stores. She then decorated her crate with beads and fabric and what not. I don’t really understand it all, but I think it makes her happy. –> Full Blog Post here |
