Makes Sense

No comment.

German brand Bosch teams up with the luxurious designers over at Swarovski to create an amazing piece of design & style that will probably be handy around an apartment. Being a handyman has now more style then anything. With 700 Krystals, Swarovski and Bosch are betting a lot on the success of the IXO.

SBTRKT 'Ride To Freedom'

Nice new song of SBTRKT 'Ride To Freedom'.

In SBTRKT and his cohorts’ classic art-dubstep way, it’s heavy and bass-driven, all complex, clattering percussion, dizzying synth patterns, and chilly, ‘80s-inspired background drones. It’s futuristic and fascinating – every listen reveals hidden tidbits, new things to follow with your ear. Check it out.

Vivian Maier Photography

Can you imagine she didn't show it to anyone?!

"The photography of Vivian Maier is an apt representation of the dichotomy at the heart of a very private person. Prolific in her image taking and yet intensely secretive, she took photographs for over 40 years without ever showing them to another person, with the collection only surfacing when the unit where Maier had stored the negatives sold them for non-payment of bills in 2007. It was an electrifying discovery, featuring over 100,000 images of the Chicago and New York streets stretching from the 1950s well into the 1990s; a treasure trove of vignettes showing the quirks and banality, the ugliness and beauty of the American cityscape."

Introducing The Gatari

Ooooohhhh, this is so easy to create, just plug in a swommelido, write a program and switch some stuff ... and go to Japan! Wow, amazing!

"The "gAtari" was my excuse to do something a little silly after I discovered that the Atari 2600 was more limiting than I realized! (31 pitches, minimal waveforms and only 2 channels!) I needed an EQ which could take a high voltage and drop it down to line level (Boss bass EQ) plus a way to hold loops between tracks and parts (Boss delay). So rather than have it "DJ" style config, I thought I make something a little more creative. It uses my atari-x-mod converter software which compiles binary files for Atari."

What If Company Logos Were Honest?

Hilarious and true adbusting.

"What would happen if large corporations actually ran their companies with our best interests in mind? Their logos might look a bit more like these new editions in design wiz Viktor Hertz’s ongoing series: Honest Logos."
