I
think I have a new hobby, collecting Polish movie posters.
Check these out, some of them have nothing or simingly
nothing to do with the films there hawking, some of
them are just cooler than crap, others might even do
a better job of advertising the films than the originals.

While
wondering the site after posting the below, I stumbled
across this, a terrabyte the size of a sugar cube by
2009...just consider that for a moment. |
|
|
 |
A
Wonkavator! Not really, but this is one of those, duh,
why didn't they do that the whole time kinda things.
|
|
|
 |
ok,
3 grand is alot, I'll say that right now, but I think
I could justify it. Wish I could find out what each
print costs, they never tell ya that, I don't even wanna
think about what the cartiridge cost would be.
right
after typing that I found out that a 4x6 print would
be about $1.33 |
|
|
 |
An
update to the look of the site is all the reason I need
to post a link to one of my favorite websites.
|
|
|
 |
Frack
me! I would sooo drive this. I;m such a geek when it
comes to concept cars, I'm sorry I apologize..
Does
anyone else see a cartoon inspiration, a puppy?
|
|
|
 |
This
is just cool, I can't find a favorite, what a fun thing
to try at home. |
|
|
 |
You
know with humans forever reproducing and consuming more
and more forested areas, treehouses would be such a cool
way to have both, I want one of the ones pictured to the
left, times three, a living module, sleeping module, and
a wet module for bathroom and kitchen, all contacted via
little bridges. |
|

Artist
Spotlight. We never want to miss an update at ObiKaufmann.com
particularly such a prolific update. |

WHY?!
Don't get me wrong, I love my city, Seattle is my home.
But Why! are our two world class pieces of recent architecture
so, well so, not good. The OMA, builders of Seattle's
new library have unveiled plans for a BRILLIANT skyscraper
for of all places, Louisville, Kentucky....grrrr,first
the Geary, now this... |
|
|
 |
Artist
Spotlight. Loretta Lux, I haven't done one of these
for a bit, Loretta Lux has something goingon in her
photography, these are photos of kids, but there is
something more..Her skill with image compliation is
very very good.
|
|
|
 |
This
link was found via the instructions for the link below.
It's a whole page of cool ass crap to make.
|
|
|
 |
OH
OH, BTG is so sponcroing one of these events, SO! Sponcoring
one here in Seattle. I'm not even gonna tell you about
it, just go watch this little Quicktime movie, it's
better that you realize what their doing the way I did...
|

A
webpage of something I've actually done, although I
didn't have a camera at the time, but when I was younger
I loved sneeking into old empty buildings. This page
does that very thing, the link I'm posting is to a collection
of hospitals. |
|
|
 |
Who
knew that manhole covers could be this damn interesting,
I know are covers here in the US arn't this cool, some
are interesting, but hey some of these are works of
art. |
|
|
 |
What's
this, a news organization that isn't owned by a giant
publishing company or war contractor? hmm, very interesting
idea... |
|
|
 |
I
just love this place, love it love love it, tiny piece
of property, and what? 8-10,000$? plus furniture...damn,
I just love this place.
The
article |
|
|
 |
I
don't even remember how I came across this, but... it's
interesting in a "gems of the internet" kinda
way... a whole website devoted to hands, male hands...what
else could I possibly say about it. |
|
|
 |
Artist
Spotlight. Tom Judd, the drawing is good, but it's the
commitment that I admire most, one page everyday for
a year. Worth a look. |

WE
ARE GOING TO THE FREAKIN SUPERRBOWL!!!! WOOT WOOT...
GO SEAHAWKS!! |
|
|
 |
ARTIST
SPOTLIGHT. Van Sowerwine, he's the director and writer
of some really amazing little animations, one of which
is featured above in the MiniLinks. The website has
some really great, some even more disturbing pieces.
Not to be missed. |
|
|
 |
This
is likely way more interesting than it should be. It's
creative and pretty well done tho. |
|
|
 |
Ok,
this is the second such product I've seen, the first
was fabric infused with insect repellant, this product
is infused with vitamin c and other minerals... the
possibilities are quite intriguing when you think of
other things you could infuse fabric with, contraceptives,
viagra, nicotine... psychedelic drugs. Essence is the
line. note-the
gallery of images is not to be missed if you like pretty
male bodies |
|
|
 |
This
is a simple and brilliant idea to draw attention to
homelessness in yr area, a bag of concrete and some
water, and tada instant message. I know I'll be making
some this spring how bout you? |
|
|
 |
My
love of concept cars continues, this company specializes
in concepts, they work with Mercedes and Porsche, the
one pictured to the left expands and contracts based
on need, they also have one that turns into a boat,
and one that has a boat built into it. |
|
|
 |
I
really wish I had a place I could use this, I see it
in a nighclub as ambient room furniture, but it would
also be great in a high end day care. |
|
|
 |
Brace
yrself for a science geek link, any fan of Star Trek
should recognize this idea as well, not the clean up
part but the liquid computer storage part, sounds to
me like "gelpacks" the preferred method of
info storage on the fictional starship Voyager... |
|
|
|
Something
a little different today, mini links, links that are
to small for a whole link, but too interesting to just
ignore... |
|

Any
coffeeshop owners out there, baristas? or heck just
go tell yr fave house to buy one of these and use it
for all yr coffee drinks. Created by the gods of coffee;ZOKA

 |
I've
posted before about interesting temporary dwellings,
but this one has got to be an all time favorite, I want
one! I want a whole camp of them, the ultimate in non-invasive
camping structures (beyond of course what they do to
the poor trees they hang from, but imagine snatching
up a few hundred acres and pebbling it with these...Cool! |
|

ArtistSpotlight.
David Choe, don't miss his mixed media gallery, and
the sculpture gallery, very modern sensibilities, talent
and skill... |
|
|
 |
At
last there truly is a .com for everything on the planet...and
this easily ranks as the biggest waste of money I have
ever seen... |
|
|
 |
Hey
we have a page like this, kinda...some of these are
quite fun, it's amazing how witty and intelligent words
on walls can be. |
|
|
 |
Ok,
YOU TUBE...have you seen this? man there is some funny
shit on there...I just had to share this one...the first
two kids are ok, good as anyone else...but the kid in
the red shirt, the one from Santa Anna...DAMN! He's
like a freakin' special effect...
more
of the same kid |

AdBlock, and FasterFox extensions from
I promise you won't regret it. |

For
those Bedlamites out there that still enjoy the wonder
of the postal system, you can now make yr very own stamps,
it does cost a bit more than a regular stamp, but you
get to control the image, and hey isn't control worth
more? |
|
|
 |
Dust
off that broadband modem, a long time fan of transformers,
this struck me as interesting, the animation skill is
amazing and it's just fun. As a budding animator I really
wish there was more about how it was done, the movement
is too smooth to be done by hand, there has to be some
engine involved. It's flash so if you right click you
can zoom in and see a slightly bigger window. |
|
|
 |
Karma
Ghost is just one of many great little flash movies
by Billy Blob, great inventive idea films that you should
not miss. |

 |
Considering
the high level of crap that we are forced to endure
in the name of advertising it's surprising anything
get's rejected. Ironically some of these rejected ads
are excellent thought provoking, dare I say beautiful
spots. |
|
|
 |
These
are very very cool, I think I want every one of them,
the design and the implementation are both cool...I
don't know what else to say about them... |
|
|
 |
Here's
a loverly little waste of time, quite interesting actually...how
old are you in the orbits of the other planets... I've
just turned 21 on Mars |
|
|
 |
I'm
sorry but I just have to say it..WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE
STILL BURNING THE BLACK CRAP FROM THE GROUND FOR?!!
I mean if humans can harness the energy from a beach,
why should we be so damned dependant on oil, come on
world government, get off the can! Geesh... |
|
|
 |
I've
never really gone in for radio controlled toys, but
I'm pretty sure this could hold my attention for ten
maybe twenty minuets. |
|
|
 |
Ok,
what the heck? it seems like a gag at first, but they
are real, really. Do we really want kids thinking of
poop as a toy? |
|
|
 |
I
like cars, and I don't care who knows it..sci fi looking
cars are a particular favorite, so This new Audi really
hits the mark, due out in 2007 as the R8, it's cool
and you know it, even if yr not a car geek. |
|
|
 |
Artist
Spotlight. Bedlamite42, aka Kaleb Phillips, remarkable
range, deatiled concepts, and joyus bits of flotsom. |
|
|
 |
This
is cool the way ascii art was cool, I think so anyway,
maybe you will too |
|
|
 |
well,
I might get emails about this, there are some out there
that believe graffiti is a bad thing, can you believe
it? and this link will show you how to take graffiti
to a whole new level... |
|
|
 |
Etsy.com,
billed when I found it as the ebay of handmade goods,
but I really didn't see much in the way of auction activity,
it is however a very nice source for handmade stuff,
with some truely beautiful interface options, don't
miss the shop by color option. |
|
|
 |
This
now 2 year old project really struck me as important,knowing
a persons name creates and undeniable connection to
that person, makes them real, makes them harder to ignor...this
project extends that concept to those homeless you walk
by everyday... |
|
|
 |
Pardon
the delay, bit of an internet disaster here...
Today I draw yr focus to the coolest looking audio device
EVER, tell me does it look like the head of a praying
mantas to anyone else? it wirelessly streams anything
you send to it from a pc...They have other great looking
products as well |
|
|
 |
Why?
Becuase Obi said so, that's why... |
|
|
 |
One
of my favorite artists is Miro, I just found this little
film thing...well not really a film thing, a commercial...a
Honda commercial, please forgive that, it's beautiful,
Miro-esq, You'll hardly even notice the car...after
the click choose, #2 the rebirth... |
|
|
 |
Fun
with paper! Paper is fun and you know it, robots are
fun too, now you can have two funs at once...paper robots!
What could be more fun. |
|
|
 |
Yeah

damn cheap slippers. I will be ordering mine this very
evening, soon as my direct deposit goes thru anyway....cool
slippers, cool cool slippers
note-this
site has oodles of other cool objects too
note2-as
of this post, they are out of stock...sadness...I'll
repost when they come back |
|
|
 |
Ok,
these may not be for everyone, but I bet lot's of people
will like them as much as I do, there are five maybe
six things I want here. The designs really play to my
love of beauty in ordinary objects side, you'll see...
|
|

How
does this stuff escape my eye for so long? Anyone looking
for a last minute halloween costume, that will no doubt
take till next halloween to produce...This designer
is a bit of a throw back, but this time of year I to
often look back to those kids so many years ago that
made the clubs so alive with uniqueness...

NOT MISS THE COLLABORATION PULL DOWN MENU IN THE UPPER
RIGHT CORNER... |

Spotlight. Alessandro Bavari, Beautiful, startling,
daliesque, thought provoking photography. Not to be
missed. |
|
|
 |
Cord
jewlery, dress up those cords hanging down the wall
behind yr computer, or stringing across the desk. Great
idea, don't think I'd buy cord jewlery, make it maybe?
|
|
|
 |
Wallpaper,
wallpaper for yr walls, wallpaper you would never hang
anything over, back are the popular 70's wall murals,
but these are some of the coolest wall murals yr likely
to see for some time. And it's made using a machine
I've wanted one since the first times I saw it. |
|
|
 |
500
Shanghai homes, and the ppl who live in them. I would
really like to see this show in a gallery, in very large
format. But this is good too. |
|
|
 |
Finally
an MP3 player you can call pal, Pez Pal actually, a
stay at home dad thought this up and got Pez to give
him a license to build em, pretty dang cool I think. |
|
|
 |
3
in a row,hitech...the new class of car, the "city
car" not one relly meant to go coty to city, but
door to door. A Design contest winner, first prize a
working model of the designers submission...check out
the image gallery. I'd drive one. |
|
|
 |
I
don't care who knows it, i'm a complete sucker for long
low lines...yeah yeah it's a scooter, who care's it
rawks! There both hybrid/electrics, so you can see at
the least the value there if you don't appreciate those
lines. |
|
|
 |
A
robot you could operate from yr room, images beamed
right into yr brain, yr every thought instantly transmitted
to the robot anywhere in the a city. Ok, it's only a
movie. One called Hinokio, sounds a bit like Pinocchio,
no? So far all I've seen of it is an all Japanese website
and the movie trailer, looks good though, great looking
robot effect. |
|
|
 |
Transparent
solar panels. Just think about it for a couple seconds....freaking
brilliant, can you imagine the power production from
a skyscraper sized solar panel. wow. |
|
|
 |
A
long accordion wall made of paper, yeah yeah really
cool room divider, but it could be so much more, with
the right lighting, in the right place....like a party,
moving it occasionally to keep ppl alert... |
|
|
 |
Turn
an old polaroid into a Lego Pinhole camera. Yes kiddies
a real live lego pinhole camera....you know yr wondering
where that old polaroid is... |

Dylan

on this one, this guy has an enormous body of work,

art with marketing, namely by letting current popular
artists do their own thing, this campaign is no different,
other than it's fashion this time...super sweet website

wanna buy me one, feel free...the one pictured at the
left is my fave... |
|
|
 |
Neat!
When I was very young I wished I could be really really
tiny, don't know if that's why I liked these photos
so much, but...well they're cool enough. |
|
|
 |
Yeah
ok, it's kinda a weird thing to post about here, but
hey...HATS OFF to Safeway, the not so mega grocery chain
has opted for renewable energy, they'll soon be the
biggest retailer ever to make the switch to green energy.
Can you imagine if Wal-Mart went this way? |
|
|
 |
It
seems a little crude for Prague, but maybe I don't
know enough about Prague, this sculpture would seem
to be right out in public. A little disappointed they're
not writing in the snow tho...
|
|
|
 |
Many
know of my fondness for the word, some may remember
the gallery exhibit at the first coffeehouse, this guy
has taken it a step further, a book, and DIY stockers
to participate yrself...what could be better than that?
