Stalking Venus

The New York Times has a fairly interesting article on the  modern airship and the people who are trying to turn them into a common sight in the sky. This pic is of the inside of a Zeppelin NT flying over the southern part of Germany.

The article basically waffles on a bit about global warming [...]

Great post on Dark Roasted Blend this morning about Jim Denevan, a sand artist who makes some of the most amazing transient artworks I’ve ever seen. Scale is his thing, and his latest project is massive, representing about 8 days of walking. So much work and it’s all gone the next time it rains.

Awesome un-tooned version of Niko Bellic from Grand Theft Auto IV by Pixeloo.

Many top-end car interiors look as if the designers have taken a page out of science fiction and tried to make their cabins look as high-tech as possible, stuffing them with bright lights and shiny gadgets. The FBG instead maintains a minimal, but badass look, making the driver’s experience about driving the car.

Check out this year’s additions as well as the arcives at: [...]

In the photo above, Carl sets up his food [...]

A collection of interesting and innovative ideas for new twists on old products.

Slinkachu has embarked on a new project with his little people, that’s taken the concept to a whole new level. He’s started to incorporate live creatures. The first, in what will hopefully be many more, is called the Inner City Snail - A slow moving street art project.

When I was just a geeky little kid, I once removed all of the drawers from the large dark oak desk that my parents had bought me to use for school work, and strapped the case of our old (then new) PC to the space created by the missing drawers. I punched a rather messy hole in the back panel of the desk behind the drawer space and shoved all of the cables through it, being careful to neatly staple the one for the screen along the back of the desk and up to where I placed the monitor. Then I sneaked the drawers out to my dad’s workshop…
