CLIMATE CLOCK
Climate Clock is a beautifully designed app that combines hourly weather with an analog clock. The clutter free design displays everything you need in a weather app, hourly temperature, rain, and wind. It features gestural swipe up for 10 day forecast and beautiful backgrounds that become dark or light and change with the weather, time of day, and during sunset & sunrise. Plus, if you don´t have time to open the app, Climate Clock cleverly shows the automatically updated temperature as your app icons badge. watch the video
Memory Palace Comic! "A Gas Gas Gas"
This is the first in what we hope to be an on-going collaboration between UK-based comic artist, Dan Berry and myself bringing stories from my historical podcast, The Memory Palace to a new media. Basically, we just want to make some cool comics that folks'll enjoy. We'd love to get them on paper and in your local shop someday but we're psyched to share it with you now.
This story is episode from Episode 21 of the Memory Palace. You can listen to it in its original form here.

O Lago Medusa
Martim.bafficreepy/cool
O Lago Natron , no norte da Tanzânia, tem a sua água tão alcalina que quando algumas aves ou morcegos por descuido caem nele, permanecem na água e vão se calcificando.
Isso acontece devido ao pH do lago, que fica entre 9 e 10,5 – uma alcalinidade extrema que preserva os bichos por toda a eternidade.
O responsável por essas fotos é Nick Brandt. Todas as fotos estão no livro “Across the Ravaged Land”. Foram três semanas resgatando alguns desses animais para que pudesse fotografar.
Nick: “Eu inesperadamente encontrei as criaturas – todo tipo de pássaros e morcegos – ao longo da costa do Lago Natron, no norte da Tanzânia. Ninguém sabe ao certo exatamente como eles morrem, mas parece que o lago reflete bastante a luz e isso os confunde. Assim como pássaros colidem com janelas de vidro, eles caem dentro do lago. A água possui um teor extremamente alto de base e sal, tão alto que consumiria a tinta das minhas caixas de filme Kodak em poucos segundos. A base e o sal fazem as criaturas se calcificarem, perfeitamente preservadas, à medida que secam”.
O mundo perturbador dos macacos de rua de Jacarta
Martim.baffispooky!
“A kind of you”, é uma série perturbadora sobre o mundo dos macacos de rua da cidade de Jacarta, capital da Indonésia, criada pelo fotógrafo finlandês Perttu Saska.
Treinados para pedir dinheiro aos transeuntes, vestidos como seres-humanos e usando cabeças de boneca, uma tradição antiga da Ásia, os macacos se tornam reais objetos, transformando-se em brinquedos com vida. Um fenômeno cruel, que trás uma grande sensação de mal-estar.

Plug-in smartphone device adds a button that can do anything
While smartphone manufacturers try to include everything their customers would need from the devices, there are still ways to extend their capabilities. We’ve already seen the ReadyCase add multitools to the iPhone without much extra bulk, and now the Pressy is an attachable button for Android devices that can be assigned to perform any function.
Many smartphone users have that one task they perform regularly on their smartphone, but have to scroll through multiple menus to get it done. Recognizing this, the Pressy is a small device that fits into the headphone jack of any Android handset. Once plugged in, it appears as an extra button and users can then set its function using the free companion app. The button comes with three presets – one click to turn on the flashlight, two clicks to push the shutter button when in camera mode, and held down to initiate silent mode, although these can be modified with the app. The video below explains more about the product:
The Pressy raised nearly USD 700,000 during its Kickstarter campaign, and is now available to pre-order in a range of colors for USD 27. Are there other ways to help consumers modify their electronic devices to better suit their needs?

No ônibus tudo pode acontecer
Paul Kirchner nasceu em 1952, em New Haven, nos Estados Unidos. De 1978 até 1985 ele publicou a tira surrealista “The Bus”, na revista Heavy Metal, com um humor metafórico e contemplativo. Aqui embaixo tem 50 delas. Imperdível.

Breaking Bad Poster Series
For the final episode of AMC’s Breaking Bad show, I created these two posters of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). If you’ve seen the show you’d immediately recognize the blue as a representation of Walter’s high-purity methamphetamine. Without spoiling the show, you’ll notice there is more blue crystal on Pinkman’s face than there is on Walt’s. In that lies the concept of these posters. The posters were created for fun using only a few images.

Esculturas Subaquáticas
O estúdio Forlane 6, formado por Hortense Le Calvez e Mathieu Goussin, é o responsável pelas graciosas esculturas que você vê nesse post.
Hortense nasceu em 1988, se formou em Belas Artes e foi instrutora de mergulho. Já Mathieu, estudou na Escola Nacional de Marinha Mercante em Marselha e trabalhou por muitos anos na indústria da Marinha antes de se engajar na prática das artes visuais.
Mergulhe nas fotos.
“Uma metamorfose ocorre quando as esculturas são influenciadas pela sua flutuabilidade, pelas correntes marítimas ou quando o ar é pressionado permitindo sua movimentação” (Forlane 6).
