Dereck Melander collected 3,615 pounds of second hand clothes (the amount of textile waste every 5 minutes in NYC) and built a sculpture. The result: a 5x7 foot cube. Cool.

Spike Jonze's short film 'I'm Here - A love story in an Absolut world' came online today. Sponsored by Absolut Vodka (wonder how much they paid), it follows the love story of 2 robots. It's beautiful ... and sad and the music is amazing.

Stuff White People Like is a bit of a crack-up and they had a good post last year about Wayfarers. With summer just around the corner, set yourself up in a park and get counting. They're all out there!

Here's a bit of a laugh: 30 dumb inventions. Personal favourites include the yodeling meter, birdman suit, and the baby holder (looking safe). Gotta say that I'm a bit of a fan of the cigarette for 2 device. A couple that smokes together ...
