----- Car To Go -----

Over the weekend, while on the highway ramps, there appeared a large parking area filled with blue smart cars, almost looking like a scene from a futuristic movie of cloned soldiers. When the name, Car to Go, appeared within my viewpoint, I suddenly realized what they were since i heard this kind of program starting in other cities around the world. Like the Bixi bikes, this is for automobiles. Looking around the website, car2go.com, I'm finding this program more and more interesting and meets my needs when I suddenly need to go, say, the South Shore or Laval where bmw isn't convenient or slightly too costly for round-trips. The future is looking bright and friendly.

How it works:
Pay for a one time cost for a membership. It doesn't start charging you until you swipe your card in front of the windshield, which will unlock the car. As you get in, the keys are located next to the touch screen. Money is charged as soon as you start the engine. Prices are varied between minutes, hours and day. Pretty cool.

Ah! Technology you're killing me. What can you not do these days?

----- Conveying a Smart Idea -----

Toyama Kitokito Airport have been saving little in between wait time at the airport luggage claim. Squeezing advertising in between your luggage, abeit knowing how annoyingly bombarding ads can be, is as fresh as it can be like the sashimi it's advertising for the restaurant shown below.

These are not four different pictures...

----- Piotrowski Sandwich Book -----

Ridiculously useless but ridiculously awesome. Brilliant piece that reminds me of livre d'objet.

----- Holy Batman! -----

Hyper-realistic sculptures depicting ordinary intimate moments of human emotions and interaction. The genius and unbelievably dexterous human is named Ron Mueck.

WTF.

----- Asians Understand Small -----

Amazing design. I'm fascinated by small interior spaces and dream of owning a place where I can transform it to be used efficiently. Traveling to densely populated cities truly challenges your mentality, learning how spoiled we are. I've said, if I win a lottery, I won't be purchasing a massive mansion with unnecessary number of bedrooms, maybe at least two toilets.

----- Dying of cutness! -----

Created by advertising agency McCann Melbourne: Dumb ways to Die.

*Dare you to not smile while watching it.*

Music produced by Ollie McGill; sung by Emily Lubitz can be downloaded on iTunes already. 
It's created for Melbourne's Metro PSA for public safety. I think it's the one of the most fun and creative PSA. There's also the website to check out: http://dumbwaystodie.com/

----- Owen Gildersleeve: Master of Paper -----

One word: WTF. Okay, that's technically three words but—shut up. Owen Gildersleeve takes the level of illustration and design up to the next level of craziness: paper cut illustrations. These are examples from his portfolio. Tired of 2D digital or hand drawn factor, the kid uses paper and intelligent planning to articulate his visual communication. If only I had a 1/4 of his talent.

His porfolio.

----- Tasty Camera Gadgets -----

I accidentally wondered on to this website Photojojo gradually realizing during my peruse that I've been there before—there are so many great items! The store also corroborates the reasons I should step into the future with the iPhone and not the Galaxy. Like look at these gadgets for iPhone:

A shutter remote operated by your iPhone.

Lens Mount for an iPhone—WTF!

Sure, as much as you and I want to doubt it honest functionality, these products do sound sick to believe. What if they do work wonderfully and without a glitch? I shall hold my breath till I die.

Practical and useful items I would like to buy:

A lens cap holder on your camera strap. I don't know how many times I have come close to lose mine and how disgusting it gets when I dump it into my back pocket of my jeans, I spare you the "sweaty" details.

Camera strap with tiny pocket to hold battery or film

Silly things I want to buy:

AHHH! Why didn't I think of this idea?! Photoshop window magnets. BRILLIANT. Genius. So fun.





DSLR USB keys....



The Camera Folder bag for your camera, silly-poo.



Zumi Digital: I actually own one but in film format which the film is obsolete. so i'm left with a plastic object, eating dust in my room. Damn you digital technology, film lovers rejoice!



This pretty much wraps up this post. What does it say about me when I want more silly items?

----- Optical Illusion -----

Photoshop it is not.

Felice Verini 'nine dancing triangles' at Chateau Chasse-Spleen, moulis en medoc in france. At one angle you will see the geometric shapes linked and combined but viewed at another you will see random disconnected shapes and lines covering the entire room of wine barrels. The artist created this on site. Can you imagine the strategy and planning, it's incredible.

----- Wallpaper's Made by Hand 2012 -----

Every year the design lifestyle magazine Wallpaper selects the August issue as the hand-made issue, either welcoming known designers and creators to contribute to the cover or like last year, invite readers to customize their own. I really like this year's lineup of designers.

I'm going through a design slump; this is really inspiring. 

Check out more here and you will get to see videos of the designers' process. Amazing talent.
