Interesting shots from a camera-obscura.
Exploding whales.
Remember how cute Corey was in The Bad News Bears? When Corey was a superstar as "Mouth" in Goonies? When you couldn't open up an issue of Tiger Beat without a pic of him in there? When Corey was chasing vampires in the Lost Boys? Remember when Corey started going through his creepy Michael Jackson Phase? Remember when he and The Other Corey started headlining C-List movies together? Remember when Corey was in Meatballs 4? Remember when Corey became a font? Poor Corey.
Some really cool, err, hot, fireplaces here and here.

ShitBegone - no-nonsense, 100% recycled toilet paper. Even more impressive is their political embargo.

I'm usually one that goes for mid-century modern (see anything from here - hint hint, Santa!), but the BelAir lounger is pretty sweet...
Insane paper car models... I think I'm going to attempt one...

What's this? A new way to tie your shoes?
The sad truth about current hybrid cars...
Japanese product design database... How cool is the MotoCompo?!?!
Someone loosed the lugnuts on the Polizia Lambo!
I've been preparing to do surgery on my iPod to repair a busted headphone jack, and came across these links: make an emergency charger for your iPod (up to 10 hours!), all in an Altoids tin... while you're at it, why not make a matching headphone amp?
1968 - Beatles release "The White Album. 2004 - Jay-Z releases "The Black Album". Along comes DJ Dangermouse and mixes both into "The Grey Album" - and here is the video.

TNO has produced the largest digital panoramic photo in the world. What do they mean by large? 2.5 billion pixels - that's about 500 times more pixels than most modern consumer cameras. If this photo were printed, it would measure about 22 by 8 feet (at 300 dpi)!

Super-awesome software company Panic has officially retired Audion, the first truly cool music player for Mac, or any platform for that matter. We all loved it, back in our fledgling Drexel D&I days/late nights... Anyways, Panic has posted an amazing story about the history of Audion, the early days of MP3, a failed AOL deal, meeting Steve Jobs and how Audion almost became iTunes...
Forget belts for carrying tools... that's so yesterday... how about a belt that is the tools?
Zinio is a PDF newsstand, delivering your regular paper magazines in electronic format. Very cool.
Slick kitchens.
A real supercar... under $20k?
Go see McQueen tear ass in a new Mustang in "Cornfield"... one of the best "dead actor" commercials yet...

Gabe Bridger, extremely talented creative director/graphic designer and creator/editor of the excellent MotoringFile.com, was unexpectedly laid off today. Seeing as though some people who check out my site from time to time are "in the design biz", I thought I'd put up a post to help him out.
So, if anyone knows of any graphic design/web design full-time, freelance, or contracting jobs (specifically in the Chicago area) for someone with 5-7 years of experience please let Gabe know by emailing him at gabriel@motoringfile.com.
Here are links to his portfolio and resume.
In addition to running MotoringFile.com, Gabe also maintains a personal blog not to be missed.
Good luck Gabe. Ears to the ground for ya.

Pump 2.0... ingenious!
File this under the "things I would NEVER EVER would have EVER thought of putting together" category. See pics.
This way of documentation may far outlast paper, and that is the point... but imagine the creative possibilities!
New graf - electronic subway signage hacked! (More images here). Apparently, although amusing, the message is not true: "Pretty women," actress Katharyn Bond said, "take the subway so we can go spend money on more important things - like alcohol."

Mini's rally era comes to an end... so when will we see a new MINI WRC car???
Also, spy shot of next-gen MINI.
BTW, saw this great quote on the MINI boards: "Those aren't grey hairs - they're racing stripes!"
Anyways, came across the Heads of State, and was drooling over their wonderful work, then noticed they work out of Philly. Who knew?

Interesting compilation of election graphics.

Gorgeous modernist pool table.
10x10 is another creative approach to data visualization... check it out.
This is what you do if you think the new GTO doesn't reflect enough heritage...
The Postal Service, an electronic indie pop spinoff of Death Cab for Cutie, has made a deal with the US Postal Service... An argument over name rights turned into a cross promotional deal in which The Postal Service will play at an annual conference of 800 senior USPS execs. There is also talk of using The Postal Service’s music in USPS ad campaigns and promotions.
