130+ Years of NYC Expansion

NYC Panoramic

It’s amazing looking how the city has changed (and stayed the same) over the last 130 years.

The Seed

More stop-action play from UK-based Johnny Kelly. I’ve mentioned Johnny’s work before with his Procrastination piece, this time we are taken on the wonderful journey of a simple apple seed. Great stuff Johnny!

Alphabet Drawers

I want these chest of alphabet drawers by UK-based furniture makers, Kent and London! Each beautiful chest is handmade to order and will only set you back £2700.00 ($3939.89 US). Better start saving my pennies!

Geotagger’s World Atlas

Photographer/coder Eric Fischer decided it would be cool to do some code magic based off of public APIs from Flickr and Picasa. What he came up with is a beautiful way to visually represent the various traffic density clusters that form from the geotags taken from the photos that people take and upload to the two sites. He’s even gone as far as separating the tourist from the locals (red points and blue points respectively, yellow represents unknowns). Pretty sweet!

Magnificent Specimens

I love this series of photos by Dave Mead which he calls Magnificent Specimens. Where he took a trip up to Anchorage, Alaska and documented the contestants of the 2009 World Beard and Mustache Championship. Magnificent indeed! I’m not too shabby at growing a beard but dang, no wonder these guess went to the championship!

You can see the whole collection in person at Chelsea Market in Manhattan through the rest of June.

Faith No More Second Coming Gig Posters

So it’s been awhile since I’ve been this geeked out over an upcoming show but it’s frakin’ Faith No More, how could I not be! Check out some of the great gig posters that have been released over the span of the tour.

Works by Tara McPherson, Angry Blue, Frank Kozik and Drew Millward respectively.

Lego Printer!

Check out this awesome printer that Lego enthusiast HorseAttack built from scratch on his spare time.
