Marc Ecko bought Barry Bond’s Home Run record-breaking-ball from some 21yr old who could not afford to keep it. What’s even more sick is that he paid $750K for it and has set up a website, www.vote756.com, to allow the American public to choose what he should do with it.

We’re not really supposed to have dogs running around the office anymore at our new place. If only Ace and Taffy were young again like this, i’m sure we’d have no problem…
I fondly remember the hours of physics fun, in the early 2000s, playing with funny looking worms and spiny things at sodaplay.com. The only thing I could say when my friend showed me these real-life sodaplay-ish sculptures was “woa! no way! that’s not real!” over and over again. I want to build one of these so I can ride it…
Commodore 64!!! That’s the computer I learned to program on. The only thing that’s not awesome about this video is the Advanced C++ reference at the end. C++ wasn’t around till 1985! That should been a certificate of Appreciation for Basic. Oh well.. and I’m a nerd!
A very interesting view on what the future of this thing we call the “internet” will or can become. The narrator’s heavy futuristic accent makes everything sound so validating. It makes we want to trust him.

Slow motion film is always sweet. But slow motion film of a food fight, that takes the cake. This is the music video for “Rotten Hell” by Menomena. Beautiful // Messy!
Remember when Tuee mentioned that neat new touch screen interface here a few months ago? Well, It looks like Microsoft has jumped on it first. I hope they didn’t get their entire creative department together to come up with the name, ughh… “Microsoft Coffee Table” …sweet. Look out Mac, Microsoft has a coffee table! (Why do people who talk about Microsoft products always have to dress so dorky?) I wanted a Microsoft Wall but I supposed a Microsoft Coffee Table is a good start. This is pretty cool.

An amazing article by Alice Rawsthorn on how designers are changing the world for the better. From a $100 laptop for schoolchildren in developing countries, to a pot for carrying water that can be easily rolled, designers are focusing their talents on the world’s poor, in an effort to positively impact the lives of the world’s unwealthiest 90%.
