-Coco Chanel

They use linguine in place of spoons.  Cafe 92 degrees* is worth venturing from wherever you are, to  there.  Probably the best coffee blend I have ever tasted, and the sweetest people on the planet- I didn't really need that amaretto cream cake, but it sure put a rainbow in my belly.

If you have a chance, live, or visit NDG, go to 6703 Sherbrooke Ouest.

Check this chair made of 10,000 drinking straws by Scott Jarvie. Must have been hard to use exactly 10,000 ...

We were pretty excited to see Pistols at Dawn in Brisbane (Australia) Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. You can check their runway collection here.

1500 hours of lego stop motion filming. Cool.

Montreal public pools are commonplace enough, the only trouble is finding them. 

I just sat down with a beer to catch up on some emails and have a look around t'interwebs. I came across this amusing site full of anti-alcohol posters - they look Russian ...?

The title image is called 'Bartered.'

I'm sorry I've been unable to update the SNAP! site since last week, I was lost in a Tim Barnard drawing. 

Led by the sweet smell wafting from the open door located beside an interesting and stylish window display, I entered Le Marché: the shop for 'Style Creators, Not Followers'

Just came across the great online Swedish Tshirt Store. So many cool designs ...

We'll be announcing the winners of our t-shirt competition very soon!

Dash Snow was a photographer, graff artist and New York street kid turned award winning artist.   Snow sadly died this year at 27 years old, reportedly from 'the junkies error'- an overdose. 

Just came across '1001 rules for my unborn son.' Great stuff.

77. Never side against your brother in a fight. 

Have a look at this side project inpired by the movie 'Refrain'.  Artists are called to re-interpret the soundtrack and publish the results for downloading.  Get amongst!

Developed in Japan, the 'Hybrid Assistive Limb', has been created to help the lesser-abled.  The robotic 'limbs' are controlled by thought, and aid in general movement and support.   Holy.

Bike ride anyone?
