Presto!
Found via NotCot: Presto! the animated short featured before Wall-E
Sorry, we can’t embed it on our site, but it’s sooo funny, it’s worth clicking to.
The guy’s take on virtual window shopping
In the continuation of a theme, I’ve decided to do my version of Vivian’s post yesterday, where she showed our “flowerish” engraved jewelry matched with a summer outfit.
For the guy’s outfit, we’ve got a “smart casual” look. Starting from the top-left corner and going clockwise, the outfit is made up of:
small tiger coral pendant [...]
From Teeny to Tiny
Unlike all the misleading sizes of Starbucks coffee, the Tumbleweed tiny house company’s houses are well… teeny and tiny… as described.
Since we last posted about the Tumbleweed tiny house company, they’ve completely revamped their site and they will be adding a whole slew of new tiny houses (can’t wait!). Their biggest house now stands at [...]
When life hands you rotten bananas
We go through phases with bananas around here. They either get gobbled up within two days, or they sit until they become freckled and then brown. And no one wants to eat brown bananas. Well, maybe Jack, but he’ll just ask for them incessantly until he gets a taste of how overripe [...]
And the Award Goes to… an Award?
While browsing through the latest I.D. Annual Design Review, I was stopped by a photo of this beautiful, pointy object (page 103 for those who have access to the annual).
The shiny pyramid turned out to be the Vilcek trophy given annually to American immigrants who have made a lasting contributions in the arts and [...]
The Beauty Within
I’ve been very negligent with the whole blogging thing. I’ve been leaving it all up to my better half. Once in awhile I would send her links to cool stuff, but that’s been pretty much the extent of my involvement. Well there’s no turning back now…
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all someone shows [...]
Beautiful minds: A voyage into the brain
This is a video excerpt (runs about 5 minutes) from the documentary “Beautiful Minds: A voyage into the Brain” featuring Stephen Wiltshire, aka the ‘Living Camera’. Stephen is autistic and has the remarkable ability to be able to retain visual details — in this case, details from an aerial view of Rome — and put [...]
Stuck in my head
You know how sometimes, you get something stuck in your head and the only way to get it out is to expose yourself to the offending tune and hope that your brain gets satisfied and flushes it? Well, it doesn’t work. The other thing to possibly do is to make other people get the same [...]
Trained goldfish
Fun on the interweb found via BoingBoing. At first, it doesn’t seem like much of a feat. Big deal. Gold fish swimming together — but keep watching. They’re synchronized!
It reminds me of that episode of Mythbusters where Adam and Jamie test the myth of whether or not goldfish have a [...]
Guilty pleasures
We can blame it on not having cable. Yeah. That’s why we end up watching “America’s Got Talent” every week.
Besides the (mostly lame) talent acts, the real draw is watching “the big Hoff”. Admittedly, there is something fun and cheesy about an actor / sometimes-celebrity who can poke fun at himself and aside [...]
