Wood Chippers
This is something that could’ve made school more enjoyable: Pencil Carving…(my favorite)… While on the carving theme don’t miss Bob Shamey’s toothpick carvings.
Metro Measure
Subway Systems of the World are presented on the same scale, helping you understand and compare the sizes of some important cities metros. Milan’s would probably be like 2 pixels wide!
Peaks and Valleys
Always on the lookout for ways to expand my mind I had tried Hemi-Sync music. The idea is to synchronize your brain waves through repeating patterns and frequencies found in this music… With the SBaGen, a binaural beat generator you can program your very own wave patterns. I tried it the other day… and fell asleep like a baby in 10 mins. Had vivid dreams, and awoke very refreshed…But, I gotta try a more productive set of patterns, because this was at 3 in the afternoon!
Clear
Do you have trouble peeing when you have people around? Then this isn’t for you!
El Duderino
Walter: You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me.
The Dude: Yeah, but Walter…
Walter: Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with nail polish.
The Big Lebowski is one of my favorite films. It has some of the best lines, and well, The Dude just rocks. The Internet Movie Database has a huge collection of memorable quotes from the movie.
The Next One
Hooray! I finally found someone who shares my obsession for extra short songs… When listening to music, my attention span is a click over zero. Big Songs for Little Attention Spans is a collection of 100 songs that fit on an 80 min CD.
Order is Old
I while ago while talking to Philippe I figured out that alphabetical listings will disappear.
They make it easy to find info if browsing a physical object; more and more texts are becoming digital, dropping the need for alphanumeric arrangements.
Order is irrelevant when you have a powerful search engine.
I already find it hard and cumbersome to use the Yellow Pages and dictionaries…I bet my kids will barely know how look alphabetically.
Spray Away
Milan has what are probably the shittiest writers anywhere. They just scribble their name; no color, composition, or creativity. Just an ugly signature. I bet they could use The Graffiti Creator to come up with something a tad more artistic.
Crash and Burn
I get a strange perversion out of seeing very expensive cars totally wrecked…Wrecked Exotics features just that. Thanx Rafa.
Free Images
Stop scaling Corbis’ thumbnails and get some real photos! Pixel Perfect Digital has a collection of royalty free HiRes images for your use…
Empty Calories
What would you request for your last meal if you were on deathrow?
Funny Lines
This is as simple as a comic can be, and yet they are very, very funny: Pencilmation
Pixel Friends
Sicis a company that does glass mosaic recently opened a store in Brera, a trendy district in Milan. The super heroes you see here are made out of these tiles. A very nice and colorful way of showing off their product. Click for HiRes.
Ship Shape
Extremely detailed cutaway of a cruiseship… See how it was created. I would have approached the job a bit differently, probably in 3D…’cause once you’ve done the modeling, changing views is a snap. Anyway, great work! Check out the rest of Kevin Hulsey’s portfolio.
Web Spinning
Take a look at the real Spiderman.
Plugin Insane
Having lived in several countries makes you aware of the variety of electrical plugs and different current out there. Electricity Around the World features all of the worlds plugs and voltage and frequency standards…very cool. There are some plugs I could’ve never imagined existed!
Fold and Press
Step by step instruction on folding this great looking structure.
Nikola’s Power
Fiery pictures of Tesla Coils in action…just wishing these had sound as well.
Speed Bow
Remember Eddie Van Halen’s Eruption? Wanna hear it in violin?
Over Easy
This is just too stupid to pass up… How to fry an egg on an XP.
While cooking an egg was fine, the final egg-sandwich picture reminded me of Spinal Tap’s shit sandwich. (go ahead its not a link to a picture!)
Fire Fire Fire!
Ohhh man! Is this cool or what? A homemade flamethrower, with detailed photos on its construction…like I was saying before, its a good thing the internet wasn’t around when I was a kid! (via Gizmodo)
