I’ve been bump­ing into some beau­ti­ful deskp­top setups lately, and here’s another one with a light table.

The Unfin­ished Swan, a demo of a video game where you nav­i­gate by shoot­ing paint balls at the set. Stunning.

A pretty cool stor­age solu­tion at bai­leys.

And one car I wouldn’t mind hav­ing if I had the kind of money it takes to run a petrol 6.3 liter sta­tion wagon:

AMG Ham­mer Wagon, Der 80’s Uber-​​Mercedes

Odd­est cars du jour:

A Buick Riv­iera mod­ded to take four engines. First car to be ever banned from drag races.

A BMW M5 pickup. What the hell?

A Cit­roën 2cv.. pickup.

The Anakin Sky­walker of hip-​​hop, Lupe Fiasco (…)

~ from a blog post on mr. Fiasco’s recent endorse­ment of Con­verse All­stars. I had to laugh.

Maybe it’s because a LOT of artists are democ­rats, but I’ve rarely seen such good art as in Obama’s cam­paign. Here’s another lim­ited edi­tion poster.

Paul New­man calls up and he says, “Dave,” he says, “I’m think­ing about get­ting me a Volvo sta­tion wagon, and I’m gonna stuff a Ford 302 V-​​8 engine into it. (…) Do you want one?”

“All I Smell Is Raw Power And Speed” ~ Dave Let­ter­man recounts how Paul New­man offered to get him a Volvo sta­tion wagon with a 400 horse­power engine. Some other colour­ful bits of infor­ma­tion as well.

Wow, per­fect.
