I found this great little video a few years ago and forgot to bookmark the page but I finally found it again and thought I’d share it. It’s a very creative video about making a more comfortable working environment. It’s very well made and very entertaining. It’s about 40 minutes long so you should set aside some time if you’d like to watch the whole thing.
The video was made by a company called Belief who are a design firm who do all sorts of design. The video is peppered with clips of their work which is top notch. If your bored or looking for some inspirational tips this is video you should seriously watch.
Rest in peace Rufus. George Carlin died today at the age of 71 from heart failure. He was a comedy genius and said the things we were all afraid to say. He truly inspired me and inspired be to question my perceived reality. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about something George said.
If I ever want to put a smile on my face, I just listen to George and for some reason I seem to have a new outlook on life. Thank you George. You will be greatly missed.
I have decided to put a list of all my favorites from George Carlin.
I don’t normally write about football (soccer) but I felt this was worthy of sharing. Since Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all out of the European Cup we have all been forced to pick another European country to support at this years European Cup. I decided to support Spain since it’s the home of the new number one Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. I assumed other Liverpool fans might do the same but never on this scale. It’s a great ad I seen last night while watching Spain beat Italy.
Joshua Heineman has some great animated GIF’s that are taken from old photos that were taken with cameras that had two lenses. The original effect was to be used with a special viewer that allowed the person viewing the images to see them with a special viewer which had one for each eye. This gave the photos a 3D feel to them and were very effective. Josh’s solution is simple but effective. The two images are placed into a two frame GIF and played over and over repeatedly. They look a bit jerky at first the effect is clearly visible.
I read a story once by Piers Anthony in which the main character wore a snake ring he called “sning” that would squeeze once for yes and twice for no to any question he would ask. Ever since reading about the ring I have always be fascinated with any sort of ring that did more than just look good. These rings are not quite the soothsayer “sning” was but they could tell you things you don’t know.
Each of these rings is fitted with a microphone and your meant to wear one ring on each finger. The reason is because the ring will listen to your environment and warn you of any danger or situation that may require your attention. These situation may include an on coming car or perhaps someone calling your name. I am assuming these are meant to be used by people who can hear or just can’t hear very well. I love it that people are coming up with ideas to make something we wear more functional.
Here is a link for more information. It’s only a prototype at the moment but who knows we could see people wearing these some day.
Have you ever wondered what Bruce Lee might look like had he not died at such a young age? How about Marilyn Monroe? Well photographer and Photoshop guru Andrzej Dragan has done just that and a lot more.
The attention to detail is just amazing and his photos are the kind of thing you can stare at for hours and still see something new. I really enjoyed looking at his work and have placed a few of my favorites for you to see.
I spent the day playing with my kids and we made a mini race track around the house. It’s amazing how much fun you can have with two pieces of wood and a little imagination.
With all the hype that’s now buzzing about the new “Sex and the City” movie I felt it would be a good time to pull up an oldie but a goody. These flash animations were made by a website that no longer exists called Romp.com. The files thankfully are still alive online and available for us to enjoy.
There were only 5 episodes and each one takes it’s own spin and gives a smack on the butt to the whole “Sex and the City” cast. I still laugh each time I watch these.
Each of these are very much like “Sex and the City” in that they are not very safe for work. You’ve been warned.
I seen these and thought it was worth sharing. It’s probably the cutest thing you’ll ever see here but the photos are worth seeing. Such emotion in the eyes and faces of these animals. Some truly amazing photos.
Plus I am testing out the new Wordpress image gallery feature to see how it works.
This solar powered light is also a cap that fits all standard 2.25” diameter bottles. The Lightcap 200 is fitted with 4 super bright LED lights, totally sealed with a waterproof switch and has a solar panel for recharging the battery.
I love anything that lights up and I love it even more if I don’t have to buy batteries for it.
