Born on October 5, 1975 in Reading, England, Kate most recently won two Golden Globes for her roles in The Reader and Revolutionary Road. Here are some great shots of Kate from In…Continue

Lauder, Princess Caroline). Jacques is in charge of redesigning the whole hotel which includes 118 rooms and 42 for-purchase apartments, ranging in price from $1,975,000 to… Continue
In many parts of the world, winter is associated with snowfall. As brightly reflective snow covers the earth, it creates a magnificent effect, and seemingly intensifies the beauty of its surroundings. Here are some spectacular photos displaying one of the most gorgeous seasons of the year.…
The Tenori-On is a revolutionary digital musical instrument developed by media artist Toshio Iwai and Yahama. It was introduced to the U.S. market in April 2008.
The intriguing handheld device is sort of a Lite Brite for music, with 256 LED push-buttons for sequencing music and adjusting tones. A short tap creates a ripple of light; while a more prolonged push… Continue
Designed by Alex Hodge from New Zealand, the Hodge Hawk is a three wheeled concept vehicle that combines the sportiness of a motorcycle with the comforts of a car. Powered by a Honda RC51 V-twin 999cc motor that revs to 10,000 rpm, the Hodge Hawk also comes with 19" rims on the front. The use of carbon fiber and plastic coating makes this vehicle lightweight. A great new concept that will hopefully make it to production.…

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! George W. Bush is almost out of office! After eight long and hard years, at least he left some great video footage portraying his monkey-like intelligence. Thanks Dubya! Don't let the door hit you on the way… Continue
Among the many facets of the Arts that I really enjoy is the art of Urban Dance. I want to pay my respects to this art form in my first blog post.
For my first installation, I will give tribute to the style called WAACKING, made popular by the likes of none other than Jody Watley. It is a style that came out of good ol' La La Land, and I love it. Here is a Waacking battle that was held in New York,… Continue
It's not that we didn't already know that there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make celebs look beautiful. (If we need to be reminded we just have to find articles about Kate Winslet on this subject matter.) But it's fun to see artists take an ad and turning it into a statement. The project… Continue

If you love old school video games, you'll appreciate this picture set by Justin Sachtleben. It's almost like a dream after playing too much Tetris. By shooting these jumbo blocks in a narrow alley, it really enhances the sense of scale. Can't you just hear the music, too?…

This gummi bear chandelier is made of gummi bears, beads, monofilament, plastic, metal and light bulbs by Tiawanese born, mixed-media artis, YaYa Chou. YaYa explores questions about food consumption and… Continue
In a brilliant marketing move, T-Mobile created this viral ad of hundreds of people randomly dancing at Liverpool Street station in London which took place Thursday 15th January 2009. Although this is a HUGE bite-off of Improv Everywhere's frozen people at Grand Central Station in New York, it's still a highly effective ad, and I give them credit for…
I really like this spread of beautiful French actress and Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, who is best know for her role in La Vie En Rose. Credit goes to photographer, Bruno Dayan, who took these shots for the cover of Madame Figaro. Every photo seems to have a different feel and he does a great job utilizing a variety of color and location. Great work Bruno!… Continue
Earlier this week, we got wind of Burger King's awkward "Whopper Sacrifice" marketing campaign, which asks people to delete 10 of their Facebook Friends in exchange for a Whopper.
You know this was coming .. Facebook blocked the app, citing privacy violation, and Burger King had to drop the Facebook campaign, citing stupidity.
Far superior in every way to traditional maple decks, Bamboosk8 unleashes their line-up to a largely unsuspecting community with stellar results. Bragging rights include: Better performance response, superior durability and admirable green production.
...plus they're just plain neat lookin'…
