Stunning solar powered lamp - The genius is Damian O’Sullivan’s use of the solar panels is to enhance and become integral parts of the design, rather than be relegated to incidental afterthoughts.
This render looks like a photograph - The line between real and unreal is being blurred further.
Amazing 3-D Sidewalk Drawings - I love the one where it looks like he lifted out part of the walk-way and set it somewhere else. So cool.
Photorealistic murals - Amazingly realistic. More at John Pugh’s site.
Unbelievable balloon art - Via Make.
I think some day it would be nice to have colleges have programs, very strong programs, in this sort of user interface but with a very humanist attitude point of view, and start playing around with new approaches. Some year, some decade, it might just come into the popular conscious to start making things more beautiful for people.
A great find from Urban Outfitters decorates a new apartment wall.
10,000 Year Clock - The Clock of the Long Now is an exquisite feat of engineering and art, designed to last for over 10,000 years. I will be following this. (Thanks: kottke)
Museum of International Folk Art - Incidentally, I heard about this museum on “The Splendid Table.” I’ve never really learned about folk art much and I think I have a skewed perception: this place would be cool to visit.
8-Bit video game art - Some very very interesting and eclectic art with one them: 8-bit video games.

Over a month after seeing this movie, I finally get time to review the thing. Whew. It was playing only at one theater in the entire Twin Cities area: Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis. While the price was the same as big-box theaters (8 bucks per ticket), the ambience was completely different. The seats were harder, the air a little damp, and you could watch from the balcony. None of this detracted from the movie, in fact it made seeing an ‘indie’ film seem … more indie. The audience seemed a bit less numb to the movie, too: people actually laughed at the funny parts (though this movie isn’t even a comedy).
Your Voice - I love this poem. I love this music.
