Like so many dogs before him, Pixel the French Bulldog was a victim of cat gentrification in his own home. It looked like all hope was lost. We thought Pixel would have to spend the rest of eternity sleeping helplessly next to the his former bed, using his best sad puppy eyes to try and get it sleep space back. But he has emerged triumphant! The bed is now back with its rightful owner and Pixel claimed a victory for all dogs against all asshole cats who steal beds.
GPS trolling is an art form spawning a movement of walkers, runners, and auto enthusiasts to create map-based creations . But one enterprising pilot, with his own private plane and time to kill, took to the skies to draw the an image that fills the notebooks of 8th graders and college art majors alike — a big ol' dick.
For those who like their kitchen to look like something Willy Wonka might cook in, here's another adorable alternative to the boring spoon you've been using to serve soups and sauces. Designed by OTOTO to look eerily reminiscent of what we assume the Loch Ness monster looks like, this adorable Nessie Ladle is far less intimidating.
The weather team down at ABCNews4 just made the most of a horrific, live computer crash. Apparently, the computer that generates the graphics for the TV weather forecasts failed recently, but instead of just standing up there and talking in front of a blank screen, the team created some super half-assed chicken scratch pen drawings on printer paper.
When picking out the perfect piece of art online, it can sometimes be difficult to imagine what a full-size piece will look like on the wall, when viewing only a small thumbnail online. Enter Curioos, the digital art marketplace, which now offers a mobile app for viewing art pieces in augmented reality, as though they were already in your home.
To use the app, art lovers print out a tracker and place it on their wall, to act as a placeholder for their new piece of art. Back on the computer, users can browse the Curioos website to access over 5,000 pieces via augmented reality.
When users find an item they’d like to view in their space, they click a \"Preview\" button to receive a code which must be typed into the app to activate the augmented reality view for that piece.
After the piece is activated within the app, users direct their device’s camera to the placeholder tracker, and the image appears on the wall, in the proper scale. Users can toggle different sizing options, change the piece’s frame for a different look, bookmark pieces to their \"favorites\" for easier browsing later, or take photos and share them with others via text, email or social networks. Any favorites are logged within the app, so user’s aren’t required to enter their codes to go back to them later on.
The Curioos app is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play. If the process sounds familiar, Pixels.com released its augmented reality, art-viewing app last July.
Remember when Julie Chen hosted that racist-ass season of Big Brother? But first, this supercut of a bunch of times Julie Chen said, "but first."
Minimalist Christmases just got even more minimalist(y). London-based designer Emilie Voirin recently successfully funded the Minimal Nativity Set, a modern, handcrafted version of the Nativity scene.
Made out of beechwood or brass, the contemporary nativity scene consists of minimal pieces that have lost their features and colors for a streamlined appearance. The popular scene is now only recognized by the names inscribed onto the pieces.
The set is for everyone to interpret individually. Its minimalist take on the traditional biblical scene can lead to conversation about the accuracy of its representation.
“Each culture appropriates the features of the figures and I find the variations quite fascinating. This version is somewhat a compromise.”
The Kickstarter is also helping to fund a life-size installation to be exhibited at Southwark Cathedral in London.
What do you think?
I spend all day looking at interiors — and I've seen a lot of stuff — but when I came across these photos of designer Danielle Moudaber's London home, I definitely did a double take. This space is like nothing I've ever seen before — like Antoni Gaudí meets Alice in Wonderland inside a Tiffany box. Let's take a closer look.
Lance Abernethy, a maintenance engineer from Auckland, New Zealand, 3D printed a cordless drill that measures 0.67 inches (17mm) tall, 0.27 inches (7.5mm) wide, and 0.5 inches (13mm) long and holds a 0.02 inches (0.5mm) twist drill. Not happy with that, he is already working on a smaller version.
If you're in the business of designing and selling novelty chopstick sets, you might as well pack up and close down shop now because no one will ever be able to top this U.S.S. Enterprise set that ThinkGeek has created. The BPA-free plastic chopsticks look like glowing blue warp trails coming out of its engines, and the ship's saucer section opens up to reveal a soy sauce dish.
Forget hands rotating around a dial or numbers flicking in the dark; this whiteboard-mounted clock erases the time every five minutes and writes the new time. And it's kind of adorable to boot.
Photoshop recently celebrated a pretty big birthday —a whole quarter century of cropping, manipulating, and perfecting pictures from crappy creations to creative masterpieces. But take a collection of current Creative Cloud experts and inflict Photoshop 1.0 on them, and the results are disastrously entertaining.
Categorize this design concept in the realm of “unnecessary, but we want it”. Royal College of Art student Simin Qiu’s Swirl concept was awarded a 2014 IF Concept Design Award for its innovative miniature turbine-powered, water flow shaping faucet design.
In theory, Qui’s tap-touch bathroom sink faucet would use 15% less water using the same water pressure compared to a typical faucet flow while also producing unexpected beauty. The liquid vortex is created by utilizing two separate flow elements of varying diameters, one spinning clockwise, the other counter-clockwise. Intertwined, the result is a mesmerizing liquid lattice or other unusual water flow designs, depending on the shape of the swirl form elements.

Here's definitive proof that marshmallows are not food: Even cats who will fuck all sorts of shit up don't have any idea what they are or what to do with them. Watch this cat lick the thing and then stare off into the distance wondering exactly what choices he's made to come to this point in his life.
