Grace-ful Star Wars Prequels
Despite his tendency to pick terrible scripts, I’m quite a Topher Grace fan. I’m even more so, now. Someone leak this to the Internet now, damn it! (Aside: These posters are of far better quality than the films they represent.) For those of you who don’t know, Topher Grace is a film geek. He loves […]
TED Talk: A blood test without bleeding
Fantastic. Myshkin Ingawale is the co-founder of Biosense Technologies, which has built ToucHB, a portable, non-invasive device to test for anemia. Myshkin Ingawale: A blood test without bleeding | Video on TED.com.
Instruments from Inside
Stunning photography from inside symphonic instruments. This (I presume?) violin looks like an avant-garde concert hall. ART DIRECTION: INSTRUMENTS FROM INSIDE on the Behance Network.
I like words
Oh, to have this man’s wit, whimsy, élan, verve and vocabulary! Dear Sir: I like words. I like fat buttery words, such as ooze, turpitude, glutinous, toady. I like solemn, angular, creaky words, such as straitlaced, cantankerous, pecunious, valedictory. I like spurious, black-is-white words, such as mortician, liquidate, tonsorial, demi-monde. I like suave “V” words, […]
Minimalist Cartoon Characters In Lego
“Imagine” is a new Lego campaign by Hamburg advertising agency Jung von Matt. The name alone sets high expectations, but if anyone can invoke the word “imagine” beyond the late John Lennon, it would be a beloved Danish toy company built upon imagination. It’s a series of minimalist Lego designs based upon some of our […]
“Boneless” Gary Beacom
I love the Internet. I’d caught this as a kid, and managed to capture it on VHS. I’ve hoarded that tape ever since, assuming the performance would be forever lost to history otherwise, but I didn’t count on the rise of YouTube. I’m not a figure skating fan, mainly because I saw this performance as […]

Gorey Messages
I used to be a champion letter-writer back in the day (though in a quantity not quality sense), but never thought about “defacing” my envelopes with art. Too Canadian, I guess. I’m kicking myself for the lost opportunities, now. It’s no secret we’re big fans of Edward Gorey’s, mid-century illustrator of the macabre, whose work […]
Portland Free Walking Tours
Showing some linkage love for an old StumblePal, Lex, who was one of the more interesting and knowledgeable Stumblers from my friends list, and that’s saying something. As a devotee of travel, walking, and hanging out with cool people who know lots of neat stuff, I’m kinda wanting to go to Portland, now! Let’s go […]
Steve Jobs Solved the Innovator’s Dilemma
I’m still in mourning for Steve. Can’t bring myself to watch that memorial. But I gobble up every validation, such as this one, of the man’s genius. To live a life ruled by passion, and in the quest of building useful products made beautiful is a pursuit followed by too few in this world. Which […]
