The Coolist: Boxx Electric Bike.
I’ll pedal, all the same. Don’t think I want people to believe I’m driving a food-and-drink-cart scadged from an airline.
Jay Mug: Ira Glass to all beginners …
May not want to hear it, but it’s the best advice.
EnergyBoom: Boulder Electric Vehicle Sells First Electric Truck with Max Speed of 70 MPH.
Cool - looks sort of like a Euro-design steam iron on wheels.

Scans from vintage Vogue magazines. I expect this poster may run smack dab into a copyright challenge shortly (yet I hope not), so enjoy while you can.
Reuters: The French breast implant scandal.
“Maybe it’s shameful, but there you go. [snip] We live in a capitalist world.” And that says it all, doesn’t it?
iainclaridge.net: Leica love.
All other cameras are merely poseurs.
Motoriginal: 1 of 2 SC Atlantics.
I love Bugs.
autoblog: Huet Brothers returning with handsome new retro coupe [w/video].
I love an inline six, however ... the body’s trying too hard, it’s too much of a mash-up and not enough originality. IMHO.
Jan Avendano: Phantom Tollbooth Infographics.
Interesting use of infographics.
NotCot: Vintage Wooden Soda Crates.
Dang. Nice find.
A Continuous Lean.: 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser.
As I’ve expressed about a billion times here on the blog, an FJ40 is the perfect car for Santa Fe. Restored? DROOL.
The Atlantic: The Gmail Logo Was Designed the Night Before Gmail Launched.
If ad-agencies barred last-minute creative sessions, there’d be many fewer logos around.
NeatDesigns: Fabulous Ads From The 1960s (Series Finale).
Even more through links at the bottom of the page. Many blasts from the past. Didn’t realize Barbie was a teaching tool ...
Rob Galbraith DPI: Lexar 1000X blazes to 129MB/s read speed, best-in-class write speeds.
More speed is handier than you might suspect.
Mark Shuttleworth: Introducing the HUD. Say hello to the future of the menu.
Ubuntu is going to try out voice commands.
Check out the Pembletons.
Similar to Morgans. I want one of those aluminum body 4-wheelers with leather interior.
Aperture Academy: Canon 200-400mm and 600mm first sightings … new 5D Mark III?
Looks like two different cameras to me. Look at the left side of the viewfinder, photo #3 and photo #6. #3, no dial.
Lists of Note: Edison’s To-Do List.
This, at first, makes me feel completely inadequate. Then I feel the burn, the challenge.
AutoBlog: One-off Mercedes 500K barn find discovered in South Central, LA salvage yard.
“Klein passed away, and his salvage yard is overseen by his sons, who won’t let any gawkers into to view the cars. Even Mraz was denied entry. But he spoke to folks who have seen the collection, and one said that there are vehicles people have sought for decades and thought had been destroyed.” You’ll cry to look at the photos of the rotting exotics. Buy some tarps, guys, or sell the stock. Don’t leave these to rust away.
Guardian.UK: ‘The surrounding modern buildings show no respect for the Tower of London’.
“Whoever allowed this to be put up should be shot, and one day I assume it will be taken down.” I know that sentiment.
Autoblog: Go Faster celebrates the 70s heyday of race car liveries.
I love the asymmetric designs best.
My Modern Met: Redesigning Old Military Airplanes.
Okay, this is causing me major personal issues. I love old airplanes. I love art. I don’t know if I can stand painting old airplanes ... I can appreciate it, but I love the design of old airframes more, I think. Perhaps if they didn’t obscure all the beautiful swoops and curves ... ?
Etsy: Classic Wrecks.
Brilliant. 1/24 car models, rendered as ‘classic wrecks.’
Monolith: Wood iPhone back panels.
Spare that fragile backside.
Rob Galbraith DPI: Rode announces VideoMic HD with built-in recorder, audio monitoring.
Very welcome. DSLR audio, in a word, stinks. This will help immensely.
