Holi shit! Thomas Hawk hat ein absolut sehenswertes Flickr-Set vom diesjährigen Festival of Colours in Utah. Kein Vergleich zu dem Käse, der neuerdings hierzulande stattfindet.

Sarcastic Mars Rover
Gestrandet. Auf dem Mars. An einem Montagmorgen. Ich kann @SarcasticRover ja verstehen. Kann daraus bitte jemand ein Textadventure machen?

Touristen, die sich Atomexplosionen anschauen
Clay Lipsky fotografiert Touristen und photoshoppt Atomexplosionen dazu. Ich bin gerade zu faul, seinen Begleittext abzutippen, weil im Urlaub. Aber seine Fotoserie "Atomic Overlook" ist klasse.

Funktionierende Schusswaffen aus dem 3D-Drucker
Keine gute Nachricht für Fans des 3D-Drucks wie mich: Hobby-Waffenbauer "HaveBlue" hat die Büchse der Pandora geöffnet und per 3D-Drucker eine funktionierende Kleinkaliber-Handfeuerwaffe und ein Sturmgewehr gebaut und außerdem sein Design online gestellt. Warum muss ich die ganze Zeit an die Szene mit den Affen in "2001: Odyssee im Weltraum" denken ...
"An amateur gunsmith, operating under the handle of "HaveBlue" (incidentally, "Have Blue" is the codename that was used for the prototype stealth fighter that became the Lockheed F-117), announced recently in online forums that he had successfully printed a serviceable .22 caliber pistol. Despite predictions of disaster, the pistol worked. It successfully fired 200 rounds in testing. HaveBlue then decided to push the limits of what was possible and print an AR-15 rifle. To do this, he downloaded plans for an AR-15 in the Solidworks file format from a site called CNCGunsmith.com. After some small modifications to the design, he fed about $30 of ABS plastic feedstock into his late-model Stratasys printer. The result was a functional AR-15 rifle. Early testing shows that it works, although it still has some minor feed and extraction problems to be worked out. HaveBlue has also been testing the "marketplace" for 3-D printing weapons. To do this he asked Thingiverse, the 3-D design sharing site run by Makerbot Industries, whether it was permissible to post weapons designs or not. According to HaveBlue, Makerbot's senior leadership decided to not disallow, but to discourage, the posting of weapons designs. Haveblue then posted a design for an AR-15 part on Thingiverse, but in the intensive legal discussion that followed Haveblue's posting, Thingiverse decided to ban weapons designs outright. However, since Haveblue's design is still on the site, it's unclear whether Thingiverse is enforcing a ban or not. While there are still some details to sort out, it's pretty clear that making weapons at home using 3-D printers from commonly available materials is going to become much more commonplace in the near future. In fact, as 3-D printing technology matures, materials feedstock improves, and designs for weapons proliferate, we might soon see the day when nearly everyone will be able to print the weapons of their choice in the numbers they desire, all within the privacy of their own homes.

Big Head Squirrel Feeder
If you get a Big Head Squirrel Feeder, you'll be able to feed and humiliate squirrels at the same time. Hang this vinyl 5-1/2" x 8" Big Head Squirrel Feeder in front of a window or near a porch, fill it with something squirrels like to eat and when they stick their head up there, the squirrel looks like he has a hilariously huge head with a goofy smile. Keep a camera nearby, you'll want to post a picture on Facebook. Perfect for birdwatchers, dads or anyone else who thinks squirrels should be taken down a peg or two. Has holes in the ears for hanging with string (not included).Nach dem Fettfüttern Hörnchen bitte wieder auf den Baum heben.

Dampfmaschinenschädel
Steam of Consciousness heißt die terminatoreske Steampunk-Skulptur von Christopher Conte. Die Dampfe sieht nicht nur fantastisch aus, sondern ist auch voll funktionstüchtig. I love the smell of Esbit in the Morning!

Parkplätze zu Dancefloors und Chill-out-Zonen
Die Stiftung Freizeit hat im Rahmen des LABPLATZ-Projekts Parkplätze zu einem Dancefloor und einer Chill-out-Zone umgemodelt – und die Parkgebühr hat vermutlich das (in Berlin nicht ganz unumstrittene) BMW Guggenheim LAB übernommen. Nächstes Mal bitte bei mir in der Straße ...
LABPLATZ möchte urbane Räume anders denken und deren mögliche Nutzungen in unseren Städten zeigen. Wir haben Freunde und Nachbarn eingeladen, ihre Ideen zu teilen und mit uns für einen Tag Parkplätze umzunutzen. Und ja, wir haben die Parkgebühr bezahlt!(via Pop-Up City)
Apple Propaganda von 1997: The MacAdvocate CD-ROM
Apple has long been fortunate to have an excited fan base promoting its products and helping lure first-time buyers. But did you know that Apple used to distribute free collateral to help its biggest fans spread the message. That’s what this is: The 1997 MacAdvocate CD-ROM, full of “why Mac?” presentations, free software and games, Apple TV commercials, and more. It came out shortly after Apple acquired NeXT, but before Steve Jobs had really started remaking the company around products like the iMac or iPad ... More recently, poking around my family’s home in Chicago, I found the old-Mac-stuff stash. I booted up my sister’s blue iMac, popped in the CD, and took a bunch of screenshots.Some of this stuff is pretty amazing.(via Cult of Mac)

The Poverty Line – Armutsgrenze mit Essensmengen dargestellt
Mit "The Poverty Line" zeigen Stefen Chow und Lin Hui-Yi was sich Menschen am Rande der Armutsgrenze in ihrem Land pro Tag an Nahrung leisten können (mehr Fotos unter "Categories" rechts in der Sidebar).
It is not an emotional statement. It is an examination of the choices one would face living at the poverty line. This is an ongoing project, with the first series understanding China, Japan, Nepal and Thailand. We have since expanded this project and have gone to five continents. We are not trying to compare different countries’ poverty, but rather to have a starting point to understand poverty within a country’s context. One frame. One person. One day. Everything else is left up to interpretation ...(via Junkculture)
Tier-Skulpturen aus alten Haushaltsgegenständen
Sayaka Ganz formt Tier-Skulpturen aus abgelegtem Haushaltskram.
I only select objects that have been used and discarded. My goal is for each object to transcend its origin by being integrated into an animal/ organic forms that are alive and in motion. This process of reclamation and regeneration is liberating to me as an artist.Mehr Getier gibts auf ihrer Webseite unter Motion, Displays und Scrap Metal.

Atari Compugraph Photo aus den 70ern
Mitte der 70er hat die Lieblings Arcade-und Videospiel-Klitsche meiner Kindheit einen Fotoautomaten auf den Markt geworfen, der ASCII Porträts in 28 × 36 cm ausgespuckt hat. Aus mir unerfindlichen Gründen hat sich die Technologie im Ausweiswesen leider nicht durchgesetzt. Dafür gibts im Arcade Flyer Museum den Werbezettel inklusive Rückseite in groß.
