Make Love Not Spam

Remember the SETI screensaver, where everyone’s screensaver is used to search or extra terrestrial life? Well the guys at Lycos had a good idea: They’ve created a screensaver that spams spammer websites. What’s the idea? To shut them down with worthless traffic. Man, that slogan sucks.

Flow

This is one of those things where everything seems pretty simple, but in reality it is excruciatingly difficult to calculate. The Gallery of Fluid Dynamics.

Changes

I thought I had posted this long ago, but I didn’t. The ever good-linker Waxy posted it two days ago and reminded me how good these images are. Variations, is a collection of CG images of the same objects each renderd in a different style and illumination. Pretty cool if you ask me!

Rizzatto Knows a Thing or Two

This Montina table is like the most intelligent way ever to expand a table.

Silver Bullet

Talk about a nice car; all bare, only essentials. The Ariel Atom is a single seater with two places. Shit, my Clio sucks.

Hot Bods

While in Saint Etienne one of the things that caught my eye was Vincent Ackermann’s work. I wanted every single piece he was exhibiting… I felt my every fetish answered.

Can You Feel It?

I for one welcome our Epic overlords… In the near future (2014) Google and Amazon merge to form Googlezon. Sit back, relax and enjoy the future.

Airform

For those of you who want a sculpture and have a little room to spare.

Ah 1, Ah 2, Ah 1, 2 , 3 , 4

Here’s a semi-fun app: Ripples in Time. Just wish it had more choices…

Alegre Despertar

This is for all my Venezuelan friends… A huge gallery of the images, songs, and info on all the cartoons we watched as kids. Enjoy.

Fine Grain

What a 4000 Mega Pixel photo looks like: The GigaPXL Project…
The colors are something else.

Reloaded

If you are kinda bored today why not just go and fire some shots? Live-Shot allows to shoot real fucking live ammo through the magic of what we call the internet. Aim and shoot. By the way they are planning a hunting version where you’d kill some animals. Can’t wait for the Cops version.

Fast and Danger

The Segway has very cool technology, but nothing can be done to shake its dorky stigma. Now they are developing the Centaur, a four wheeled “fun” vehicle… I thought it was the same but with more wheels…Then I saw the video, I changed my mind.
I noticed the possibilities (note to Segway): give it to some badass-tattoed-rap-listening-kids on a vert and sponsor the Xgames. Then everyone will want one.

Know Knot

Sometimes tying shoes one way isn’t enough. Ian’s Shoelace site is just what I needed back in 1984 when I was trying to do the lattice on my Converse All-Stars.

Lurker No More

Today is a happy day for me… I am finally a member of Metafilter, quite possibly the best site there is. I’ve been reading it for a while and their signups have been closed for two years! Yesterday Waxy posted that it was open, and I ran to their signup like a madman. Oh, and by the way AskMefi is an excellent resource for Q&As.

Quack Idea

Have some ducks swimming over you with the Ceiling Pond…(via JWZ)

Carve and Slide

Finally, someone has come up with something that handles like a snowboard in the asphalt. The Freebord. I am dying to try one! By the way I think the Earthflyer guy would have more fun with one.

War Bird Watching

Must’ve been handy back in the day… A book of silhouettes of war planes in WW1.

Mecha Nature

Part machine, part animal, the awesome illustrations of Feric.

Trans

Crank the speakers, and learn to groove with a Citroen…

Follow Me

If you like optical illusions then this is for you. This one is so good it made me print and cut at 10PM on a Sunday. The little dragon follows you around the room while twisting it’s head… Very, very cool.

The Walk

Every six months or so I find something that makes me go crazy. A little something that makes me think there are very creative individuals out there, that brains are still working. Take an animation, print and cut a stencil for each frame, spray said frame in different parts of the city, take photo, and reassemble to create a most beautiful moving picture. (via PlasticBag)

Deep Down

Last weekend we (Mitla, Philippe, Fabrizia and I) visited the Biennale du design in Saint Etienne. A very nice three days filled with design…
The highlight of the trip was a visit to the now closed Site Couriot carbon mine. They turned the mine into a museum complete with a trip down the pit, which was awesome. You got to admire the conditions these people worked in. Danger awaited behind every single stone moved… On the way out there was a long hallway with a series of posters urging miners to be aware. The photos were taken by Philippe and I fixed them up a little for your enjoyment. Click for HiRes.

Stoner Classic

Most of you out there have probably heard of this before: If you sync The Wizard of Oz to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon you get amazing coincidences. I remember a few years back trying to get this to work at a friends house…Hmmm, can’t remember if it worked though.

The Lines

George Barris has created many of the most original cars ever. Featured in shows and movies, a Barris Kustom is a rare breed. Man, I’d love for him to make me a lorbusmobile!

Eno is Proud

Random music by Viragelic… Let it roll, it takes time to warm its engine.

Black and White

Juanco sent a link to an amazing japanese artist criptically named MCBR CRTN (Macabre Creation). Line drawing at its best…

Luminescent Duvet

Kick your circadian blues away while watching a nice light show… The Light Sleeper is bedding that gently awakes you with light, just the way we are used to.

Snapshot

10×10 is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. The result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. Every hour, 10×10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. Over the course of days, months, and years, 10×10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life.

Pump Up The Volume

Goyard, a French luggage maker, commissioned Toland Grinnell the task of designing a rolling trunk for today’s generation. He came up with the The Goyard Entertainment Center, which includes a mini bike, skateboards, grill, a bad-ass audio system, and even a beer cooler… It sure beats the hell out of the Vuitton trunks!
