SAT math shower curtain
I'm not quite sure what student would want to relive the SAT experience in the shower, but someone must... In any case, I thought it was funny.

Chris Appelhans @ Nucleus Gallery
I stumbled upon Nucleus Gallery a few days ago and was really taken by these prints by Chris Appelhans. If you have a few minutes, check out Nucleus. Lovely, affordable stuff.

Catherine Ledner. Best animal photographer ever.
The miss of swiss turned me on to the first one, then I did some digging. This woman has a portfolio full of beautiful stuff. Nonetheless I'm a sucker for the aminals.

UPDATE:
I contacted Catherine's office via her web site to find out if her prints are available. Here's the response:
Catherine does sell fine art prints, selected animals in editions of 10. I believe the chicken and armadillo are available in these runs. The Cow is also available through all posters.com. There has been an increase in interest as of late and I'm trying to pull together a comprehensive price list on what is available for sell. They range from 1,000-1,800 depending on the size.
Catherine is also in the beginning stages of a publishing deal with the animal prints which we are very much anticipating.

Fixr. The solution to forgetting your camera.
This made me laugh. If you forgot your camera, tell the folks at Fixr about your experience, and they'll find you a flikr photo to match it. A social experiment to prove that, indeed, there IS nothing new under the sun. fixr
Poster lust.
Looking for an alternative to all those nasty poster sites out there on the web? This place has an incredible collection with lots of pieces under $50. They also have one of a kind and signed prints if you're looking for something a bit more spendy.

Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street
Per Bradley: "Stevie Wonder. On Sesame Street. With his super fly 70's band, singing Superstition."
B, I love you more than thousands for sending this to me. You just rocked my world.

Reuter's letters to the editor.
I didn't know this existed. It's hilarious. (Czelt, you're gonna love it.)
The Karl Rove photo with the exit sign in the background is a disgusting bit of political hackery and not worthy of the formerly distinguished Reuters name. Shame on you. - J.L.O.
Quite a bit of e-mail about this photo. Reuters issued five pictures of Rove from the same event, and the EXIT sign was only visible in one of them. Our photographers just don’t have time to frame their photos around handy subliminal messages. - Editor

AIBO robot diaries.
Having remembered that AIBOs can blog, I finally looked one up today. Turns out there are loads of them. Simple and bizarre.

POP TARTS Serveware
Too kitsch for my taste, but it made me smile to see the old Pop Tarts design.

The Big Umbrella
A sweet one for Umbrellaman. (Hi, G!)
'The Big Umbrella' is a big umbrella designed to shield a large group of people from the rain. A typical big umbrella can shield approximately 4 tightly squeezed people from the rain. 'The Big Umbrella' is twice as big (240 x 160 cm) as the biggest men's umbrella found on the consumer market and can in turn potentially shield 16 people from the rain.

FM Radio Map
A beautiful example of information design. Damn.
This map plots the location of FM commercial and pirate radio stations within London.
The poster works in its own right as a piece of information design, but when connected to the modified radio it becomes part of the interface. Placing a metal contact onto each point enables us to listen to the sound broadcast live from that location.

Happy Midsummer Night's Eve.
Tonight is Midsummer Night's Eve, also called St. John's Eve. St. John is the patron saint of beekeepers. It's a time when the hives are full of honey. The full moon that occurs this month was called the Mead Moon, because honey was fermented to make mead. That's where the word "honeymoon" comes from.
Shakespeare set his play A Midsummer Night's Dream on this night. It tells the story of two young couples who wander into a magical forest outside Athens. In the play, Shakespeare wrote, "The course of true love never did run smooth."

GenPets :: Brilliant and disturbing.
Imagine walking into a department store or any big box store, and while browsing an aisle you find a display where packages hang; which, at first glance, seem to contain large action figures. Upon closer inspection, you realize they are actually bizarre, altered, bipedal mammals sealed in a plastic bubble where they uneasily rest in some kind of induced hibernation.

Random Identity Generator
Fun! But this could also be useful when I'm testing web sites and have no data to test.
Generated credit cards can be used to test basic client-/server-side validation techniques without accidently processing a real card.
Need LOTS of random names? I can provide CSV or SQL dumps. Cost is $1 per 2,000 identities. E-mail me if you are interested.

Viewmaster fun for grown-ups.
You might find a viewmaster viewer in your closet or a garage sale, but you won't find these hand-assembled discs. Vlad has created intricate 3D minatures and photographed them... in 3D. Providing an intricate experience that normal photographs just can't match.
These are fantastic!
