I learned this week that 1 lump of coal equals 1 meg of data sent over the internet. Having this in mind, I sure do burn lots of lumps of energy on the net.

This is a first from what I know.. a TEDtalk available the day after the actual talk! Awesome! Hopefully this trend keeps up, besides the free LIVE session later today.
“Science educator Roy Gould and Microsoft’s Curtis Wong give an astonishing sneak preview of Microsoft’s new WorldWide Telescope — a technology that combines feeds from satellites and telescopes all over the world and the heavens, and builds a comprehensive view of our universe. (Yes, it’s the technology that made Robert Scoble cry.) Download this TEDTalk in high-def >>”

I just found this great blog, taking pictures of very tiny people models in our very large environments. Makes ya wonder sometimes, but also brings a smile once you see the zoomed out view. Reminds me of the whimsical food photography by Akiko Ida And Pierre Javelle I posted 2 years ago.

“Imagine the power of AXE. The Axe Effect” (Clinton endorsing Obama)
Hahaha, this parody AXE Ad cracked me up…for creative reasons. Both parties are great, but this really put it over the top in those cheesy but oh sooo hilarious AXE Ads.

(I have no clue who created it, but this is where I found it)
Ads like this that crack me up. Brought to us by the ever so creative gurus at Young&Rubicam.(who I worked with a bit back in 2002)

I used to travel all over the place with everything in my car… now comes this nifty box, which carries pretty much all the essentials needed for a room in a handy 90 x 120 cm box which takes about 7 minutes to disassemble. Reminds me of the RTA(Ready To Assemble) studio at RISD…
Watch a video of the box being taken apart after the jump, or here.
What a cool idea! Flipping day into night! Making your ugly view into a cool view! Pick from optional views of Helsinki, Tokyo, Paris, or Stockholm. Custom made out of vinyl… Anyways, would be an easy DIY project to bring any view to someone else’s view.

Buh yah…another great fun product by FRED even though your guaranteed a mess after flinging your food in all corners of the room!
Jeff Deboer creates these freaking awesome Cat and Mouse Armor suits! I’d love to see Tom&Jerry duke away in these fierce creations, but for now I think this is the closest I’ll get a cat to resemble a Thundercat (hoooo!)
Check out his Cat and Mouse gallery here, and make sure to take a glimpse at his “how to make a samurai cat” section for more pics.
Personally, I’d be running all over the place if a cat had a joust strapped on it’s back… but just maybe, I’d stick cat food on the end and let it chase itself around all day…nah, I’m not that mean 😉

Tons of pics after the jump! Let the battle begin! Continue Reading
Very cool!
Faceted curtains with magnets for a snappy customization frenzy by Florian Krautili. It’s pretty much the Faceted Curtains by Hannah Allijn, with magnets. I might have to make one of these.

Col-Pop: The Future of Fast-Food Technology from Adam Kuban on Vimeo.
I’m not a fast food fanatic, but the Col-Pop is one damn great idea. It’s a soda cup with a bowl lid to keep your soda and nuggets in one convenient design. You still have to use your other hand to grab the nuggets, but maybe a tilt into the mouth works. It’s “convenience design” at it’s best 😉
Watch the Video here.
Reminds me a bit of the neat Wine Tapa Plates.
