Who couldn’t use a few extra hugs, especially when they come from an adorable plush octopus backpack? Tumblr user Jen made this backpack but, sadly, it is not for sale. So you’ll just have to love him from afar and be jealous of all the octopus hugs she’s getting.

In London, Clever And Witty Street Messages That Tease The Public by UK-based artist Mobstr 

Hi, friends! It's Katie here again.I've been dying to make soap on a rope since I spotted some BEAUTIFUL soaps at a farmers market recently. When I got home that day I was full of inspiration, so I quickly went to work at developing my own method. I knew I wanted them to be neutral in color, smell amazing (duh, it's soap), and easy to make with things around the house. Here's what I came up with:

Supplies:
-glycerin melt and pour soap base (available at most craft stores)
-essential oils—I used lemon, lavender, rose, and mint
-rope
-household containers in any shape or size you'd like

To begin, cut your soap base into cubes. DO NOT swing your knife around like a sword. Okay, okay... do it. Just be careful! I think it's impossible for me not to pretend to be a samurai while holding a large knife. It's one of those things.

Now it's time to figure out how much soap base to melt. A little bit of this melt and pour base goes farther than you would imagine. For the ice cream bucket I used about four or five 2" x 2" cubes for a pint size container. Once you figure out how much you'd like to use, melt it in the microwave or use the double broiler method on the stove.

Once your soap base is melted entirely, stir in whatever essential oils you'd like. I put in around 20-25 drops for these soaps. When I initially poured them in I thought I had gone way overboard, but once the soap was set they were perfectly scented!

Now it's time to rig up a system to position your rope perfectly in your container! At first I had the rope clamped to the side, but I soon realized that the rope wouldn't be centered in the soap. Mason jars and a ruler were the perfect solution!

Once your soap is completely set (I let mine sit overnight just to be sure), it's time for extraction. Boy, oh, boy, do I have some tips. As you saw above, I used three different household containers as soap molds. The cup and the ice cream container were both plastic, so I stuck those in the freezer for several hours, and the soap just popped out. The tin can, however, was a different story. I left the can in the freezer for an entire weekend and still couldn't get that bugger out. I tried banging and squeezing, but still nothing. After many failed attempts and coming close to giving up, I fired up the stove and brought a pot of water to a boil. Dipping the can in the boiling water for a few seconds softened up the outside of the soap enough for me to slide it right out. Success! Be careful not to burn yourself on that boiling water. Wear an oven mit if you have one handy.

Thanks to those of you who have been tagging us on Instagram and Twitter when you post soap pics! Be sure to keep them coming! xo. Katie

When looking at Swiss painter Conrad Jon Godly’s mountainous paintings, it takes a moment to truly appreciate the incredible skill behind what seems to be such an effortless application of paint. Up close the landscapes appear to be a thick, almost random mix of blue, white and black, the result oils mixed with turpentine to create a thick impasto that Godly often leaves dripping from the canvas. Take a few steps back (or just squint your eyes a bit) and miraculously you might as well be looking at a photograph of the Swiss Alps. It’s a visual trick that the artist has perfected in both small and large-scale paintings over the last few years.

Godly studied as a painter at the Basel School of Art from 1982 until 1986, but then worked as a professional photographer for 18 years. He only returned to painting in 2007 and it would seem his photographic work has had a subtle influence on his abstract painting. The artist most recently had exhibitions at Gallery Luciano Fasciati and Tony Wuethrich Gallery in Switzerland, and you can see many more paintings on his website. (via OEN, A Wash of Black)

Un original de Tintín ha conseguido batir el récord de venta de un cómic, llegando a los 3,4 millones de dólares en una subasta. De esta manera, prácticamente dobla la marca conseguida anteriormente por otro cómic del famoso periodista.

Tintín es junto con Astérix uno de los estandartes del cómic europeo de todos los tiempos. Ahora este periodista (no recuerdo que llegara a escribir ningún artículo) o detective ya puede presumir de tener el récord mundial de una subasta de un cómic: 3,4 millones de dólares (unos 2,5 millones de euros) por un original.

El récord anterior lo ostentaba "Tintín en América"
No es de extrañar, ya que el récord lo ostentaba la portada de *Tintín en América", obra realizada en 1932 por Hergé y que llegó a alcanzar 1,3 millones de euros en 2012. En esta ocasión vemos a Tintín en un collage en el que se le puede ver acompañado de otros personajes y realizando todo tipo de acciones.

Acompañado de su inseparable perro Milú, vestido de vaquero, con una armadura de caballero, a caballo, en el desierto, pilotando un avión, navegando en una piragua, etc. De esta manera ha conseguido batir un récord hace unos días en París y contribuir a que Tintín siga siendo uno de los personajes más importantes de la historia del cómic.

Una de las primeras cosas que me pregunta la gente cuando acaba de llegar a Japón es sobre las mascarillas. Una de las razones por las que tanta gente usa mascarillas por la calle es el kafunsho, pero también se usan cuando estás enfermo o cuando viene una nube de contaminación PM2.5 de China. Esta máquina expendedora te vende mascarillas para casos de emergencia.

La sección del centro vende pañuelos de papel y la sección de la izquierda de la máquina es de hokkairo. Los hokkairo son pequeñas bandas que crean calor químico durante varias horas.

La semana pasada debutó la más reciente entrega de Wolfenstein. Con el subtítulo de The New Order, el juego resultó ser bastante exitoso tanto en ventas como en crítica y eso significa obviamente que la versión de PC en las tierras de Don Bito se iba a convertir en una de las más solicitadas.

Aún así, muchos clientes de la tienda reaccionaron con ceños fruncidos al darse cuenta que el torrent tenía el respetable tamaño de 43 gigabytes. Se cree que esto podría ser, en parte, una medida de Bethesda y MachineGames (responsables del juego) para evitar la piratería gracias a recursos audiovisuales sin comprimir, que desmotivarían a muchos a ir por otros caminos más éticos a conseguir su copia del juego.

En comentarios rescatados por Torrent Freak, algunos usuarios se quejan de haber tenido que subir el triple de datos (cerca de 120 GB) antes de completar la descarga. En cualquier caso, todos saben a lo que van cuando se trata de conseguir un estreno reciente de cualquier tipo, con la salvedad que en el caso de los juegos los ripeos no siempre van de la mano con la reducción de datos.

Dice el reporte original que en menos de una semana ya se habían descargado 100.000 copias del juego. Esto demuestra que 43 GB no son nada para los ávidos de un poco de Wolfenstein gratis.

Lust is a tough baddie from the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist, and this cosplay by Ryuu Lavitz totally nails the character’s seductive and dangerous vibe.
