Lorenzo Cappelli: Fake Movie Title Screens
I’m loving these fake movie title screens designed by Lorenzo Cappelli, where modern comedies are transformed into vintage classics.
Glowing Light Ball Bench \ Manfred Kielnhofer
The moment you try the artwork in my thoughts and words to capture, one realizes that this task almost limitless variations, offers viewpoints and approaches. Kielnhofer redeemed by shape, material, resulting in an avalanche of application functionality and solutions / results on different levels of perception.

Type Love 180
Saissant is a hand-drawn script by Magpie Paper Works. It’s probably not the most legible typeface in the world but it would be beautiful for envelope addressing, as you can see below.
Global Rainbow
Global rainbow is an ongoing light installation by Yvette Mattern consisting of seven parallel laser beams representing a rainbow that’s being projected over populated urban areas and is meant “to encompass geographical and social diversity in its reach and symbolise hope.” The installation was switched on in the UK for the first time last night over the North Tyneside coastline and will...
JigSAW \ Brooks + Scarpa architects
JigSAW, image courtesy BROOKS + SCARPA | Photo by Marvin Rand The film editing profession requires small, dark environments free from distraction and light reflection—in essence, hermetically sealed boxes. Yet at the same time, a film editing company, if it is to be competitive, must exist in a stimulating, socially interactive workspace, alive to workers and clients alike—a place where people...
T Residence \ EASTERN design office
Japanese architectural firm EASTERN design office recently has completed the T Residence.+ Project statement by EASTERN design office 1. A ghost and a samurai residence “I’m scared, scared. This house is haunted by a ghost.” This is what my kids said when they saw the house before remodeling. I am their mom. I am a client, not an architect.

On the poetics of probability, or what the architecture of the social web has to do with landing in Hawaii.
In his fantastic recent talk from TEDxVancouver, my friend Jer Thorp — data artist in residence at The New York Times and Brain Pickings regular — takes us on a sweeping tour of his work and ethos, living at the intersection of science, art, and design.
Among the projects Jer shows are...
Memory Is Not a Recording Device: How Technology...
Debunking the myth that memory is about “reliving” a permanent record stored in a filing cabinet.
Last year, Joshua Foer set out to hack his memory. Last week, Jonah Lehrer examined the promise and peril of memory erasure. But what, exactly, is memory — and how does it work? A new book by Alison Winter tackles precisely that — Memory: Fragments of a Modern History explores how the science and...

Slinky Springs Bridge: Tobias Rehberger

The Slinky Springs Bridge in Oberhausen, Germany, was completed this past summer. Designed by artist Tobias Rehberger, the inspiration for the bridge came from the iconic Slinky toy and the catchy phrase “Slinky Springs to Fame” which seems to be the way the bridge is referred to. Rehberger was able to recreate the light, wild and irregular quality of the toy in his vibrating...

Target had to pull this Whitney Houston card
Target has been forced to pull this greeting card (full size picture here) which is dumb because they started carrying it long before Whitney Houston she died, and especially because it’s even more poignant advice now. She was a fuck-up who made terrible choices. Now she’s dead. An even bigger mystery is what possible […]

The Today show had a preview of the Lindsay Lohan interview that will air tomorrow, and in keeping with the tradition of Lohan women, Lindsay will apparently just tell a bunch of lies the whole time.

Y-3 Bags Spring/Summer '12
Y-3 offers a nice alternative to the pile of outdoor-style bags that seem to be trending right now with a line of fashion forward bags that definitely stand out amongst the herd. The new bags use materials and unique details like bungee cord and packable, lightweight polyester which make for bags that are both compact and functional. If you need something a little more sophisticated, the...
Whitney Houstons death was “accidental”
E! says that “Whitney Houstons demise was a tragedy—and a tragic accident at that,” and even though neither of those things are true, her death apparently will be considered an accident. Which only means she didn’t die of natural causes, no one murdered her, and she didn’t deliberately kill herself.

Possible new album from Boards of Canada?!
That is the rumor, and a very exciting one indeed.
I’m gonna play some Board of Canada now. I’m a bit of a Boards of Canada evangelist. They’re my favorite band, I think. Maybe them and The Beatles. But, they are a band, again, a bit like The Fall. It’s like once you get into them, or rather, once something clicks you just wanna hear everything they’ve released....

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
Here’s three things you need to know about Ferrari’s new F12 Berlinetta Hypercar. One, its the fastest Ferrari ever. Two, its powered by a 740 horsepower V12. And Three, it can get from 0-62 in just 3.1 seconds while ripping a hole in the space time continuum on its way to a little over 211 mph. Link

That Throwing Kick Stunt Of Yours Has Boomeranged...
As Jim Croce once explained, there are some things you just don’t do, including:
1. Don’t tug on Superman’s cape.
2. Don’t pull the mask of the ol’ Lone Ranger.
3. Don’t stab Leroy Brown so many times he looks like a puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.
4. Don’t mess around with Jim.
…and in there somewhere he pretty clearly says “don’t kick in the wind”. I’d have to check Lyrics Freak,...
Ten commandments for con men
Con man Victor Lustig shared a list of commandments written for aspiring con men. Among them:
1. Be a patient listener (it is this, not fast talking, that gets a con-man his coups).
8. Never boast. Just let your importance be quietly obvious. Tags: crime how to lists Victor Lustig
Leather Backs for iPhone 4S
Accessorising your phone is a thing many people do. It’s fun and can make your phone look unique. On the iPhone 4/4S if you’re brave enough, you can change the back plate, switching the black glass for things like a clear back, metal and wood. However this does break your warranty and it does require some work to switch the plates.

Danica Patrick Wants Racing To Be Easier
This year’s Daytona 500 was undoubtedly one of the strangest in recent memory. For starters, there was that whole 36-hour delay and holding it on a Monday night for the first time in history. But between the multiple crashes in Saturday’s Nationwide race, the crash in the opening of the 500 and Juan Pablo Montoya inexplicably flying into a track dryer/jet engine, the entire weekend felt like...
Marketer’s Guide to Pinterest | Infographic
Pinterest is the hot start up and social media site at the moment, and it’s amazing how simple the idea behind it is. All you do is pin things you like from around the web to “boards”. You can then categorize these boards into categories such as Tech, Design, Fashion and a lot of others.

Tech Companies: My Favourites
I’m sure we all have favourite consumer electronic/technology companies. Yours might be Apple, or Samsung, or even LG, although I’d struggle to think why you’d like LG. Anyway, I’m going to list my favourite tech company’s right now, and explain why they’re my favourites. In no particular order:

Has anyone ever been swallowed whole by a whale?
Jonah was shallowed by a whale in the Bible, but is there any evidence a man has ever been swallowed whole by a whale and lived, however briefly, to reflect on the experience? Ben Shattuck investigates.
An idea’s been floating around for some time that whales more than chewed people — that they swallowed them, and people might have survived in the stomach. Jonah’s story came...

Here’s A Feel Like A Fatass Moment Of The Day
The good news is that not every child born in Romania is destined to live the horror of those orphans that we’ve heard about for so long. The bad news is that the kids with families are being put into strict training programs that allow them to grow up as super children with giant muscles and major ass-kicking abilities. At least that’s the case for brothers Guiliano and Claudiu Stroe, who might...

Jaime Pressly looks like a fun mom, MILF

Snooki is pregnant
