I need half a dozen of these. Seriously, I have probably five or six iOS device cords and the only one that isn’t frayed to death is a non-Apple one I got with a car charger.
And they’re so damn attractive.
Want one? There’s 27 days to go on their Kickstarter campaign and they already have double their goal pledged.

We’ve all heard about endangered species. But what about endangered languages? Tim Brookes researches languages on the brink of being completely forgotten, and he’s here to break ‘em down and store ‘em up with his Endangered Alphabets project, our Project of the Day. Brookes carves and paints near-extinct writing systems from Indonesia, Nigeria, and beyond into wood, and he’s planning a traveling exhibition to preserve these scripts and the fascinating cultures they embody.
Bonus tip:
If you feel so moved as to share this project with people on the internet, be sure not to accidentally type, “alphabets on the verge of DIStinction,” instead of extinction. Something on the verge of distinction sounds kinda’ nice, but your Facebook Page community will painstakingly point out your error, again and again, with growing emphasis, as the day wears on.
This sounds like an unmeasurably important Kickstarter project
