Dutch 5 Euro Commemorative Coin

2008-11-12T07:28:00.001-08:00

The new Dutch five euro commemorative coin by Stani Michiels commemorates architecture

The side with the Queen is formed with the names of famous dutch architects. The designer had the problem of how to organize the names. Chronological or Alphabetical. He decided to do it based on the internet.
"The tension between what is readable and what not, is also a metaphor how time shapes history. Some big names of the past, might be smaller names in the future and vice versa. To reflect this idea, I chose to order the architects not alphabetically or chronologically but in a new way: I used the internet as a seismograph and ordered the architects by the number of hits on the internet."

The back side with the books, forms the shape of the Netherlands in the negative space. the Birds are each notice to the regions the fly above, and are placed above each provinces capital.

Oh, and he did it all with free software. Link

The Colored Race

2008-11-04T06:37:00.001-08:00

"Created by creative director - Tor Myhren from Grey NYC, the posters slice through the race issue between candidates - acknowledging that much of this campaign has predictably but stupidly been re-cast as a battle between black and white. Myhren's powerful imagery rightly implies that this is all just distraction, seeking to refocus our attention onto what really matters - the issues. " found on thecoolhunter

Mustaches vs. Cancer

Dr. Aloysius McGillicuddy

2008-10-19T19:11:00.000-07:00

Being of sound mind and even better spirits, I, Dr. Aloysius Percival McGillicuddy, born in the year of our Lord, 1808, bequeath my home, livestock, and half interest in the Shady Eye Saloon to my fifth wife, Hermione, age 22.

To my son, I leave my watch, dueling pistols, and favorite pipe.

To the world, I present the recipe for Dr. McGillicuddy’s Schnapps, whose intense taste made me a bit of a legend in these parts.

It’s good chasing a beer, even better on-the-rocks.

Its good mixed with Yoohoo as well.

First Debate

2008-09-26T08:57:00.000-07:00

with the 1st presidential debate tonight, Im looking for something "presidential" to make for dinner... and found Barack Obamas Chili recipe:

I’ve been using this chili recipe since college and would bring it to any potluck. I can’t reveal all the secrets, but if you make it right, it’s just got the right amount of bite, the right amount of oomph in it and it will clear your sinuses.

Ingredients:

1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
Several cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground basil
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Several tomatoes, depending on size, chopped
1 can red kidney beans

Method:
Sauté onions, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add ground meat and brown. Combine spices together into a mixture, then add to ground meat. Add red wine vinegar. Add tomatoes and let simmer, until tomatoes cook down. Add kidney beans and cook for a few more minutes.

Serve over white or brown rice. Garnish with grated cheddar cheese, onions and sour cream.

To celebrate my new Iphone and the fact that darkness is looming over me. I´ve done this:
An induction powered yoyocharger for Apple.
And since solarchargers don´t work at night or in Sweden half the year, this should be a smash hit.
The induction technology is based on this..
And of course there is a small onboard LI cell to store the electricity generated. So no need to charge as you yoyo. Yoyo and then charge.

I want to be a Lego Artist

2008-09-23T11:20:00.000-07:00

I am extremely jealous that people do this for a living. Brings back memories of taking over my parents den wall to wall with Lego pieces, building small cities, cars, trucks, even (attempting) to wire them up with lights. If anyone knows how to become a Lego artist tell me.

(Thanks for thinking of me Danielle)
