This week in unfortunate appropriateness: stink bugs over run DC and the owner of the Segway crashes off a cliff. A theme? Chickens want to be stylish as well. Fungi wind! Everyone loves a good prototype.

Today is September 27th 2010 and it is going to be a very good day, I can feel it. It is pivotal that you keep your falcon fashionable.  Today’s important robot developments. 18th Century botanical illustrations are also good sometimes…

How about a little East Germany design to start off this fine autumn day. I think I had a dream about this drawing machine the other night. Cutting straight to the point: baby sea horses are adorable. My bad dudes,…

Great moments in inverted infrastructure. It turns out Yul Brynner’s photography was totally rad. Raymond Carver Mad Libs. Need motivation to get up? This is what bed bugs look like.

“You sure do link to New Scientist a lot.” “Yeah I know, but the Hadron Collider might have just created a baby universe!” A peak inside the Nixon family vacation album. An alternative proposal for the new Whitney by “architectural…

Update: Danish inventions are better than yours. Volcano breath is a pretty cool phrase. Volcano tornado is a cooler one. Water melon lantern festival! Cloudscapes is pretty much the neatest installation piece of the year.

have a great weekend dudes. The NY Times on tiny Golden Gate Bridges and superheroes in court.  Dilating French museums are pretty dang sweet.  Flavorwire on the last of Britain’s cinema busses. Soccer physics! When Errol Morris and Werner Herzog…

These crustaceans live inside of Jellyfish. What of it? Enviable Swedish architecture of the day. Sometimes I just want to read about hometown shark attacks. New Scientist explains to us how mountains grow. David Foster Wallace goes to the fair.

I am in love with you hump-backed Spanish dinosaur. Everyone is into Golden Age Sci-Fi illustration.  Hemingway as 21st century comedy writer is ok too. Some thoughts on politics (or the lack there of) in architectural design. Mainly though, let…

What do you think you’re doing? The best Astronomy pictures of the year (hurray). Oh hello, glass instruments. Aha! Space Lawyer is pretty much the best title of anything ever. (thanks AJAMS.) Farewell Liberace Museum.

Rumpus buddy Joshuah Bearman on the metaphysics of Pac-Man. More Venice Biennale radness. Department of terrifying-Eastern-European-art: panotICONS. Big Picture has your diving photography porn for the week. Insane 1970s interior design.
