An outstanding playlist for all the 90s kids who grew up in the slipstream. Now, this is the kind Mambo night I’d have been keen on.
If I had money to afford one, that’s how my customised 458 Spider would look like.
Since I can’t afford one, it’ll stay as a screenshot of what may have been.
Unlike most data visualization techniques, this visualization of a holiday itinerary for an academic project used LEDs and long exposure photography to create the end product. Very interesting, but it feels like nothing more than a ‘because-I-can’ technique.

Pearl Jam Twenty is a great bit of documentary for anyone who’s ever been a fan of Pearl Jam. Highly recommended!
Now, will someone please do a documentary on Mudhoney and Alice In Chains?
David Kracov makes fantastic metal sculptures.

Excellent editing, set to a nice atmospheric track.
The million dollar question really is… “Does it come in black“?
Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.
In the space scarce slums of Caracas in Venezuela, how do you build sports facilities to cater to everyone? The architects of Urban-Think Tank decided to build different facilities vertically, of course. A multi-purpose basketball court on the first floor, a gym on the second, a running track on the third and a football court on the roof. A brilliant idea to keep everyone fit and maybe even some kids off the streets.
Instead of futsal courts or isolated exercise corners, vertical gyms like these would be absolutely brilliant in HDB estates here in Singapore.
Bugs in a Blanket is a charming book by Beatrice Alemagna about a a group of bugs who try to venture out of the old blanket which they live in. It was a wonderful gift The Kid got for her last birthday and she absolutely loves it.
I haven’t been posting much because of my customary year-end lackadaisicalness. And I’ve been experimenting with posting on Google+ as well. I’m still trying to figure out a system that doesn’t involve duplicating stuff.
I didn’t quite like the 2006 James Bond reboot, Casino Royale, when I first watched it. In the last week, I’ve watched it twice and have grown to really, really like it.
While googling Daniel Craig’s movie, I realised there were two other Bond films with the title ‘Casino Royale’. There is the 1967 Bond spoof (with the glorious poster) that has featured seven James Bonds!
Going further back, there is a totally whacked-out 1954 version, where James Bond is an American agent (who is fondly called Jimmy Bond) and the CIA agent, Felix Leiter, is a British Secret Service guy called Clarence Leiter!
Sound like an unintentional spoof movie, if there ever was one.
Dominic Wilcox has a series of miniature sculptures set on the minute and second hands of watches. Animated sculptures like never before.
