When you go to a pub, bar or club, do you ever think to yourself that it would be mighty cool to know all the ingredients for pretty much every drink and cocktail? It’s a common misconception that every bartender knows all of the drinks by heart. They too have cheat sheets that are hidden on the inside of the bar. If you ask for something really uncommon or complicated, I am sure you will see them look at it. Even though they have a cheat ...
There are so many people who are inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night. It’s no surprise really since it’s such a beautiful painting. The last time I wrote about it was when someone recreated Starry Night in bacon. Even though that interpretation looks deliciously tasty, this one is a tad bit more sophisticated and fun, in a geeky kind of way. Petros Vrellis created his own tribute to Starry Night by making an interactive, musical animation that beautifully flows and looks almost magical. The touchscreen ...
If you are at that intersection in your life when you are gearing up for a date, you know it can be hard to know what to do and what not to do when the time comes and the show is about to start. You most likely feel a little bit stressed, worried and of course quite excited. If you haven’t been on a date for quite some time, things can get a little bit… well, complicated. As always, not to worry. There are always ways ...
Walt Disney movies always have that signature Disney look. After you’ve seen a handful of them, you start to recognize the style, and you can tell in an instant from looking at a movie poster whether or not it’s a Disney film. I call that the Disney effect, and in the artwork below, you’ll see several movie posters redesigned with that effect. As much as I kick and scream every time my son drags me to another Disney movie, I have to admit that some of ...
Street art has evolved so much over the past decade. I remember back when it was associated with vandalism and ugly, territorial graffiti. Wow have times changed, and now, for the most part, instead of conjuring thoughts of pointless, destructive tagging, street art reminds us of all the beautiful artwork found in public spaces all over the world. The Guinness Book of World Records even recognizes street art, and we recently featured the World’s Longest & Largest 3D Art. This street art below by Fintan Magee ...
It’s somewhat of a known fact that amateur photographers love to get their photos to look dusty, old school and charming. It could possibly be one of the reasons why Instagram has become so successful since they launched their photo editing service online. There is one more step you could take if you want to make your photos look really gritty and cool, and that is to utilize the power of the Lomo camera. It’s basically a low-end camera that has a bunch of flaws that ...
I have a bucket list in my head and taking a helicopter tour in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is on my list right next to scuba diving. I have the over (aerial) and under (below sea level) adventures covered. I must admit, flying is not something I love to do because I like to be the one at the controls. If I were a licensed pilot, I would probably enjoy the activity of flying a whole lot more but that is another topic. Imagine if this ...
I’ve always kind of wanted to live in Seattle. I’ve got a friend from the city, and she says that as geek culture’s concerned, it’s among the central cores of the United States. With that in mind, it’s really no surprise to me that the business I’m profiling is based there. They’re known as Geek Chic, and they design furniture. That sounds kind of boring at first, until you realize the purpose their furniture’s designed for. Gaming, pure and simple. They’ve got something to suit every ...
I love the rainforest. I love its wetness, and I love the mists that rise from the trees when it is sunny. I love its creeks, and I love all of those damp little creatures that scurry around in the leaves. Yes, I even enjoy looking at slugs. In spite of this, I have never licked one. There are tales about people who lick slugs. I am not one of those people. Why? Well, slugs eat poo, and I don’t lick things that eat poo. Enough ...
With the ever expanding usage of photo services on the Internet, it seems that Instagram is the one that is growing the most. I made the mistake of calling it a photo sharing service at some point, and I was was quickly bombed to the core. Apparently you can’t really call it that. The service that Instagram provides has been adopted by millions and millions of amateur photographers around the world, and it is growing by the day. Any professional photographer would probably say that the ...
This year, here in the States, February 20th is President’s Day. For the most part, it’s one of those holidays that goes unnoticed. It was originally a day set aside to honor the American presidents, specifically George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. There is one group of people who won’t be letting President’s Day slip by this year unrecognized. They are the ones who have been working feverishly on this tower at Ford’s Theatre Center for Education and Leadership in Washington. They’ve constructed a 34-feet (almost 11 ...
How come we have gone from using 3D typography to picking up the trade of making infographics? It’s somewhat of a weird question, I can admit that. But I feel as if we have forgotten about the wonderful and inspiring uses of typography art, and how it can present data in way that is somewhat more descriptive than an infogaphic can. Sure, it might be a little bit more time consuming to create it, but I think the outcome is a lot more appreciated. This is ...
