Fuji Natura 1600 film.

Based on Photojojo's photos (below), I'm tempted to get out my 35mm again, just so I can use this film.

Canal Street Cross Section by Alan Wolfson.

A perfectly executed tri-level diorama. A complete wonder.





Notes from the Artist:

I wanted to build a piece that resembled a core sample of a city street. As though you took a street, dug it up, and lifted it straight off the earth. "Canal St. Cross-Section" is a combination of five major pieces built into one box. There's a street scene on the top with a subway entrance on the corner. Looking down into the subway entrance, you are led to the two subterranean levels of the piece, both of which have intersecting cross views visible through the small windows on the sides of the piece.

Alexandre Farto aka Vhils.

I'm really quite mesmerized by this guy's work. It's like a strange hybrid of sculpture and scratchboard on a massive level.

Old Flip Clock print.

What is it about an object that's deconstructed, then organized, that's always so appealing? I'm a sucker for it. Thus, I'm a fan of this print over on 20x200.

BITBOTS! (Updated)

Update: Roy Barazini, the creator of Bitbots (and a fellow UXer!), just sent me a note with some updated pics of his Bitbots. So fab. Check 'em out.







Babylonian Kingdom is an orderly and organized place: a city where well-programmed BITBOTS live a calculated life. Their ruler, BIGBOT, has ordered them to build a never-ending tower, as part of Babylon's eternal quest to rule the sky.

BITBOTS work perfectly and predictably, spending their days and nights building and behaving as good robots should.

One day, as a result of a mysterious mishap in the manufacturing process, something went off-bit.

Some of the BITBOTS began expressing themselves in an unusual way, revealing new personality, daydreaming and questioning their leader's orders. Life in Babylon was disrupted. BIGBOT was not pleased.

In a fit of rage he declared these BITBOT rejects "OFFBITS", and exiled them from the Babylonian Kingdom to fend for themselves in human society.

Now, with nothing but their human-like malfunctions, these OFFBITS search for a human adopter, to take them in and let them continue to express themselves in a new world.

Herb Lester: An East London Companion.

I am a HUGE fan of Herb Lester maps. This new one looks fab – and, at £4, it's a steal.



This guide takes as its subject the area from Old Street to Hackney Wick, exploring and uncovering delights old and new, places to eat and drink, cultural centres, shops and markets. Even veteran east Londoners are likely to learn of new places to visit.

The map features a Brazilian butcher on Mare Street and a Mexican food and supplies warehouse off Hackney Road; a candle shop and paper bag supplier, pubs, cafés, and even some galleries. The 99 entries represent the very best east London has to offer.

Remembrance by Mitch Steinmetz.

Brilliant on an almost epic level.




The coffee table is the center of any living room: a place for conversation, gathering, and storage. The photo album preserves memories, giving life to past events and emotions. Remembrance combines the social interaction of family gatherings with the nostalgia and enjoyment of remembering the past. Instead of acting as a liaison between the user and their entertainment, Remembrance becomes the source of entertainment. It creates new memories while simultaneously cataloging and cherishing old ones.
