Good Ideas Glow in The Dark
Adris Group's Annual Report 2008 is Glowing In The Dark! I love this idea!
During difficult times, only good ideas can light up the path out of the crisis. Ideas are energy! They emerge in a moment and spread at the speed of thoughts and people channel them. Ideas are passed on from person to person until their radiance becomes powerful enough to light up the future. Adris Group has more than 3000 such lights - its employees. Each one of them can come up with an idea that can make the world better, but it is only when they all come together with a single goal that the power of their ideas becomes capable of shattering the darkness. That is why this book glows in the dark �C it is charged with over 3000 good ideas
DOPEEEEEEE!!!!! Humanthesizer with Calvin Harris
Humanthesizer, a joint creation between electronic musician Calvin Harris, Sony Music UK, and Bare conductive body ink, which turned 15 bikini-clad ladies into a giant human synthesizer capable of playing Harris's latest single, Ready For The Weekend. The performers stand on the pads, and touch each other on the hands or body to complete a circuit and trigger a sound. Harris, his hands painted with the ink, played the main keyboard line and effects by interacting with a row of eight girls. The rhythmic portions of the track were played by seven dancers performing a carefully choreographed routine. Watch the video below.
Stupid Idea, but i think i would use it
Not since the Flying F*ck helicopter have we seen something take more of the “friendly” out of the friendly skies. This bird flips alright—but it’s the best way to get your point across (short of skywriting that is).

Obama Joker
“There’s a new take on the Obama Art front, this one advertising a drastically different viewpoint of our current Commander in Chief. As in life, for every (artistic) action, you’ll also find reaction. The image has been littering LA and Bev Hills, not to mention an appearance in April’s Bedlam magazine. All the while its creator continues to remain under wraps. Who are you? And how do you really feel?
A Glass House in Texas
This house project from Austin architecture firm Cottam Hargrave is old, from the 1990s, but it stands as an awesome monument to the marriage of modern and natural materials in the arid landscape of Texas.

this is some crazy shit
dirk auer recently established a new world record when he raced down a 860-meter wood roller coaster at the trips drill theme park, stuttgart in under a minute. he achieved an average speed of 90 kilometers per hour on his custom-built skates.
the 36-year-old german darevdevil admitted he'd placed his life at risk by performing the stunt 'this was a very dangerous stunt because there were so many factors to consider - if the skates were to catch a stray nail then I could have fallen and I would almost certainly have died.'

Reinventing Kids Playgrounds/Spaces
Kids have boundless imaginations. No matter how poor, colorless and toyless their environment, they’ll find a way to play. They will play with stones, twigs, grass and water, and they will play with each other. They’ll think up ways of turning mundane items into creations that have all the life of the latest computer game. But only if they are lucky enough to have the free time to play, are not too hungry to move about, or have water to play with.

kurokawa's capsule tower demolition
'for many of us who believe that the way we treat our cultural patrimony is a fair measure of how enlightened we are as a society, the building’s demolition would be a bitter loss. the capsule tower is not only gorgeous architecture; like all great buildings, it is the crystallization of a far-reaching cultural ideal. Its existence also stands as a powerful reminder of paths not taken, of the possibility of worlds shaped by different sets of values.'
Riley would be cute in one of these!
Inspired by Tom Arma(famous baby photographer)'s "Please Save The Animals" series that aimed at bringing International attention to ecological issues, babies costumes of monkeys, lions and even flamingos have been developed for retail with size ranges expanded to include up to the 4-5 year old.
Nikon Dope Advertisement FTW
Nikon took its cue from our celebrity-obsessed paparazzi culture to launch the brand's D700 model in Korea.
At a busy Seoul subway station, Nikon mounted a huge interactive, light-box billboard displaying life-like images of paparazzi. Huddled together as if at a premiere, the "paps" appear to be jostling and competing for the best celebrity snap. The celebrities in this case were the passersby, who automatically triggered a deluge of flashing camera lights as they walked past the billboard. The accidental superstars then followed the red carpet all the way out of the station and into a mall - directly into the store where they could purchase the new D700. Mission accomplished.
Otake House by Suppose Design Office
This passive solar design house in Otake, Japan, was designed by Suppose Design Office. It’s amazing how they can open up the living room, it becomes one space with the terrace. I’m not really sure about the exhibitionistic bathroom though.
Mercedes-Benz 300SL
Inspired by this post on Jalopnik, about an upcoming gullwing Mercedes coupe, I thought I would look up its predecessor. The original Mercedes-Benz 300SL was manufactured, in its various forms, from '52-'63. But the gullwing version only for two of those years. The structural members of the car's frame necessitated the peculiar door operation and you can see where the doors don't reach quite to the underside of the body. It is a thoroughly gorgeous machine. I love how light and trim it looks. Nothing is overbuilt, unlike the cars of today. We aren't super car people, but I think we know something good when we see it.
