Now is the future. Honda has just unveiled an electronic helmet that allows the wearer to control the Asimo robot without moving a muscle. Scary and awesome at the same time. Check out the possibilities.

wtf?

A very strange website appeared in France, roulez-leko.com featuring the great car designer Christophe Grozs standing next to a car draped with the word LEKO and the tagline of “la voiture selon IKEA”. A countdown also adds to the anticipation of the unveiling. Really? Really? An IKEA car? This is an stunt right? The name LEKO obviously came fromL’eco, right? It’s too meaningful compared to IKEA’s other product collections with names like Klippan or Malm or Pax. And what’s up with the World Wildlife Fund? Are they behind this? But anyway, only 4 days… I’m excited to find out what it really is.

For some reason this reminds me of the scene in Airplane! the movie when the brothers were talking jive and the elderly white woman interprets. I wonder if the flight attendant here was inspired by the movie.

The Mummy Museum in Guanajuato in Mexico is having an exhibition on the history local mining industry. The exhibit displays 56 mummified corpses, some of which date back to as early as the mid-1800s.

I’ve been a a fan of i29’s work for quite some time. i29 is an interior architectural firm in the Netherlands. For their client Gummo (an ad agency), they developed a concept that uses recycled furniture they bought from markets and collected from various places. They then sprayed all the furniture with polyurea Hotspray which is environmentally friendly paint with the new color theme. How awesome does that look. (more…)

A week or two ago, I decided to use up some old acrylic paint I had in my closet so I bought a few munnies and painted them. Enjoy.
