World's Largest Loop-the-Loop Stunt

Fedaboa Belts
It’s always a bonus in our book when an accessory can be multi-functional and solve many problems simultaneously. These fluro hipster belts from Fedaboa are reversible, made from antibacterial and anti-allergenic rubber, unisex, 100% recyclable, waterproof and one size fits all! Available in 11 eye-popping colors, these fabulous, versatile belts are packaged in a very stylish and contemporary oyster shell container. At the bottom of each of the oyster containers, the story is told of how the shell casing was used by pearl fishermen. Just as the actual belt is multi-beneficial, so too is the packaging. You could re-use the oyster container as a jewellery holder, for travel or to hold your phone charger and cords etc. Genius! – Kate Vandermeer
Eco Bath System makes the most of every drop
Designed by designer Jang WooSeok, the “Eco Bath System” is a new concept that combines the functions of a sink and toilet bowl. Drawing inspiration from the natural flow of water on earth, the Eco Bath System accumulates the water used to wash your hands which further can be reused to clean the toilet. The inspirational design by the South Korean designer not just helps in sustaining the environment, by motivating the users to conserve water in their day-to-day life, but it also presents an elegant yet glossy accessory for the bathroom; satisfying the consumers in terms of efficiency as well as design.
DOPE!!!!!! 8Bitone Chiptunes Synthesizer App
Everyone's heard the stories about those guys who play entire concerts on their Game Boys, or who recompose symphonies onto NES cartridges. 8Bitone is kinda like that, except on your iPhone, and without the social suicide aspect.
8Bitone is a combination nonlinear audio editor and chiptunes synthesizer, chiptunes being music synthesized in real time on old computer hardware, i.e. 8-bit game soundtracks. While 8Bittone isn't the first chiptunes synth to hit the App Store, it certainly looks like the best: writing, editing and listening to music is all carried out through a thoughtful, attractive interface, and the end result sounds as vintage-y as it should. Due in the App Store any day now, price TBA.
CRAZY CROSS MUSEUM!!!! Justice would love this shit!!!
Set upon a steep hillside in Atizapan on the outskirts of Mexico’s largest metropolis will soon sit the New Tamayo Museum. The building will serve as a nucleus of education and culture - locally, regionally, and internationally - and continue to carry the name of the Oaxacan born artist Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991). The very strong and symbolic shape of the cross is a direct interpretation of the client’s preliminary program studies, defining an optimized organizational scheme for the Tamayo’s visitors and administrators.

Robot Tiles
Hiroo Iwata developed these Robot Tiles. You have to imagine them as movable floor tiles which arrange them automatically in front of you as you walk. They’re covered with KURALON® EC, a textile made of conductive fibers. So when you step on it, it can detect in with direction you’re heading. It was part of the Tokyo Fiber ‘09 Senseware exhibition during the Milan furniture fair.
As always, a video will make it clear to you.
