Wow, this full sized replica of the Batmobile looks amazing! It was bulit by someone from Sweden, made from a 1973 Lincoln Continental, took over $1 million US dollars and 3.5 years, 20,000 working hours to complete.

The Punch Camera




The Punch Camera by designer Matty Martin. Cool!
The PUNCH takes regular digital images but allows its users to physically punch a rasterized image of their photo. The punched image gives information which can connect its users to the digital gallery.
"This is a camera which was inspired by the loss of tangible memories. It is meant to connect both physical and digital while minimizing excess materials and the hardships in sharing images."

CHOP CUP AMAZING SHIT!!!!!!!!!

Maserati Boomerang



This is the Maserati Boomerang, a concept car from 1971. I don’t believe that current concept cars will look that fresh in 40 years. The Boomerang is a beast, just look at the wheels.

Not Dangerous Enough: Jet Powered Carousel



Whenever I think "jet-powered" I think of rocketpacks and blasting off to the moon with a bubble helmet on and then playing hide-and-seek amongst the craters. Secondly, I think of danger and how much fun it is almost dying but then escaping death at the last second and flipping the grim reaper the bird right when he's reaching for you with his scythe. Yeah, I do that all the time. But one thing I don't do all the time (or ever for that matter) is ride a rocket-powered merry-go-round. It just looks too tame. Admittedly, the carousel's shoddy construction did look promising in the beginning, but in the end it's just two guys who might have well taped bottle rockets to their backs. I WANTED TO SEE ONE OF THOSE BITCHES LAUNCHED INTO ORBIT! Or at least a tree. Hurt video needs more hurt.

Skip to 1:30 for the action. And I did like the flames.

WOLVERINES!!!! THIS ONES FOR YOU SWAYZE!!!!

Brooklyn Bowl



If you ever doubted that a regular old bowling alley could give you an experience, you haven't seen the new guy in town, Brooklyn Bowl. Not only does it have that great vintage vibe going on, it has a lot of the great modern day amenities that will make you stay way beyond your 10 frames. Whether you're shaking your booty to the music blaring out of their a custom-designed JBL Vertec sound system or enjoying a concert film on one of their nine high-def screens, Brooklyn Bowl wants to show you what entertainment really means.

Kid's Repubilc in Beijing: The Coolest Kids Bookstore





File this under, where was this when I was a kid? Kid's Repubilc in Beijing is a bright and colorful bookstore that was carefully constructed to create a beautiful experience. Twelve colored ribbons, 100-meters long, flow through the store, whirling and twirling and guiding children to pockets of beautiful space.

Banksy - IKEA Graffiti Punk



Apparently, everything you get from IKEA is cheap - even the graffiti art. In Banksy’s latest piece in Croydon, we see a punk kid looking at directions while attempting to assemble a “large graffiti slogan” he got from the Swedish retail store.

McDomination


This is a graphic representation of all the McDonalds restaurants in the United States. As you might be able to tell, there are a lot of them. Some might even say a McMillion. But they'd be wrong, because there's only 13,000.

This map is the brainchild of Stephen Von Worley, who got to thinking about the strip malls sprawling out along I-5 in California's ever less rural Central Valley: "Just how far can you get from generic convenience? And how would you figure that out?"


There are over 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in the US, or about 1 for every 23,000 Americans. But even market penetration this advanced doesn't mean that McDonald's is everywhere. Somewhere in South Dakota is the McFarthest Spot, the place in the US geographically most removed from the nearest McD's (*). If you started out from this location, a few miles north of State Highway 20 (which runs latitudinally between Highways 73 in the west and 65 in the east), you'd have to drive 145 miles to get your Big Mac (if you could fly, however, it'd be only 107 miles).

So you think the folks in Bumfack, South Dakota, are any skinnier than the rest of the population? Because I bet not. And no, this isn't me endorsing fast food. But one time I did find two onion rings in my fries at Burger King. Yeah, so who's the real king now? Gimme that crown, bitch!

Anatomy of a Monster




A while ago, I featured “The Anatomy of a Lego Man, Gummy Bear…,” and now I found these images online, from a book entitled “An Anatomical Guide to Monsters” (1967. Text by Shoji Otomo, and illustration by Shogo Endo). Enjoy!

New Facebook Headquarters by Studio O+A





Studio O+A transformed an old lab facility into the new Facebook Headquarters, the restored complex now becomes a lab for measuring the intangibles of creativity and social interaction.

The design employs color, partitions and strategic spatial mapping to the neighborhoods that make up Facebook’s city of workers. Meeting areas serve the function of a city’s public square.

whaaaa??? SEABREACHER??????




no your eyes aren’t fooling you, the seabreacher is a submersible watercraft inspired by dolphins.
the vehicle is designed and manufactured by innespace productions and comes in a few different
models as well as customized builds. just like a dolphin, the seabreacher can jump dive and roll
through the water at speeds of up to 40mph or 20mph underwater. the driver and a passenger are
kept dry inside a sealed cockpit, but are free to look around through the glass top. the boat took
over 10 years to develop and is now easy enough to drive and maintain for the average person.
the design retails for around 48,000 USD and comes with a number of options such as additional
view ports and custom upholstery.

Paper Player


Did you catch the latest Project Runway paper challenge? Making a paper plane is challenging enough, so paper couture dresses or this paper record player are truly pieces of art. This fully-functional manual record player from Simon Elvins is 100% paper, and to play the record the handle needs to be turned in a clockwise direction at a steady 331/3rpm. The paper cone then acts as a pickup, amplifying the sound enough to make it audible. It looks mighty dainty, but the concept is definitely strong.
