Not only did he skate to where the puck was going to be, he reshaped the rink, redefined the arena… and replaced the puck with the Mighty Mouse.

The debate will rage for a long time over what piece of tech­no­logy best encap­su­lates Steve Jobs’ influ­ence on our world: The iPhone? iPod? iMac? iPad? OS X and Aqua? But I’m going to argue for some­thing a lot more low-tech: the turtleneck. Source

Many people may be surprised to learn that one of Southern California’s chief exports over the last 100 years, besides motion pictures, has been oil. Source

I had no idea — got suprised. Below are some more postcards.

I would love to see these photos retaken today. Same place. Same angle. More photos here. All images from the Charles W. Cushman Photograph Collection

Earlier this year, David Guttenfelder, chief Asia photographer for the Associated Press, along with Jean H. Lee, AP bureau chief in Seoul, were granted unprecedented access to parts of North Korea as part of the AP’s efforts to expand coverage of the isolated communist nation. The pair made visits to familiar sites accompanied by government minders, and were also allowed to travel into the countryside accompanied by North Korean journalists instead of government officials. Though much of what the AP journalists saw was certainly orchestrated, their access was still remarkable. Collected here are some of Guttenfelder’s images from the trip that provide a glimpse of North Korea. [37 photos] Source

Thomas Pavitte is a Kiwi graphic designer living in Melbourne. There isn’t any information about Thomas on his his website, thomasmakesstuff.com, but on his twitter account he writes;

He have made some nice stuff.

He’s currently running a typographic tribute serie to ‘the inventors of everyday household items that we often take for granted’. He has so far covered Alan Holloway, the inventor of blue tac, and John Walker, the inventor of the modern day matchstick (I’ve always thought that the match was a Swedish invention, but, apparently, Swede Gustaf Erik Pasch only invented the safety match, not the match).

The series Broken houses is based on photographs of abandoned structures neglected by man and destroyed by the weather. The photos are found in the web while pursuing an amateur photographer from North Dakota who obsessively documents the decaying process of these houses. His photographs are used to create small scale models. Afterward, in the studio, the models are photographed again, omitted from their background and placed in gray. Source

Project done by Ofra Lapid. Below is a photo of the small scale models still with it’s background:

Thomas Leuthard published a free ebook about street photography titled ‘Going Candid… An unorthodox approach to Street Photography’. I haven’t read it yet, but i very much doubt it’s a waste of bandwidth and time. Download it here. Read more about it here.

I adore the qlocktwo clock by Biegert & Funk Design. Unfortunately it’s rather expensive (€885.00 excluding shipping). For half that amount I could just buy an iPads, write a little app showing the time in the same way, and hang it on a wall (maybe add a picture frame, too). But… that would be silly. Wouldn’t it?
