Anonymous, Good and Bad.


When I was in Jr. High I carried my books like a girl. Guess it is good I have the essential parts to back up my book carrying style.

Cycling IQ.


For all the people that are fascinated by the Nike + iPod but hate to run might have an alternative. That is... if you don't also hate to ride a bike or don't have deep pockets. Apple has published a patent for an unamed smart bike.
"The Bicycle system monitors speed, distance, time, altitude, elevation, incline, decline, heart rate, power, derailleur setting, cadence, wind speed, path completed, expected future path, heart rate, power, and pace."

LEGOs + Adults


“making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.” Charles Mingus

This masterpiece was created for Dublin's Boys and Girls advertising agency by ABCG Architecture & Design. How could you nod off during a meeting at this "playful but not juvenile" table? To make it even better, it was put together brick by brick just like kids would do (with no glue!). Now if only I had 22,742 LEGOs I could build a table for myself! I really hope the hole in the middle contains one of those fabric bags full of LEGOs...

Structural Reading.


"Chosen because of their nature as seat of knowledge, as symbols of intrinsically human free thought, books are here “used” as raw materials for an artistic process existing and communicating on many distinct levels."

The artist, Matej Krén, has installed this massive book fortress (Scanner) was recently in the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna. The narrow interior filled with mirrors is designed to freak you out and/including screw with your perceptions. Click here for more photos of Krén's giant stack of books.

Graffiti ist Kunst.

A stop motion animation of Munich's legal graffiti wall on Tumblingerstraße. How fantastic is that? I (in case you haven't noticed) am a big fan of graffiti.
