1800 Tequila custom-drawn bottles. Good Lord, good reason to pop open a bottle. (11/26)
20x200. Hmm, new to me. Great idea: "As we see it, there are a lot of people out there who want to sell their art and a lot of people who'd like to buy it." (11/26)
Abe got down. You know it would have been true. (11/26)
The Audi Union Type C pedal car. Gimme two, just for good measure! (11/26)

When cockfighting creates killer art. Though I can't say I condone the act in general. (11/24)
Superb rock poster set. [printfetish] (11/20)
Obama to rebrand America? Quite a tall order to Bush's Comic Sans'ish current brand. When in doubt, use Gotham. (11/20)
Folks, meet ABInBev. It's very sad to see the AB eagle bastardized to "represent" the new company. Branding for company mergers should be better than this. (11/20)
Up In Smoke, GOOD magazine's interactive map charting smoking percentages around the US. (11/20)
Check out Jen Stark's Paper Eruptions while I pick my jaw off the floor. (11/20)

Burst of Beaden, beautiful art from Jon Klassen. [fff] (11/20)
Jason Tozer's Fire & Water. (11/20)

Ocean Rooms. (11/18)
Vending machines in Japan. I'd like the cucumber-flavored soda, please. (11/17)

How to make money with free software. [marc] (11/17)
Dad's Indian. Bleeding manliness. (11/13)
Finding the flu. One of the more brilliant uses of Google data I've seen in awhile. Wonder if it works. (11/13)
Just about the coolest packaging I've seen this side of the Mississippi... whichever side that may be. Moxie Sozo at it again. (11/13)
"Barba"lounger. (11/13)
Amazing live performance by Etienne De Crecy. Never heard of him personally, but I've gotta figure he absolutely kills it live. (11/13)
Terminal 5 for British Airways. Simply beautiful. (11/13)
After Paradise, a documentary about the contemporary art movement in Iran. (11/12)

Beautiful illustrations by Cristóbal Schmal. [grain] (11/07)
Headlines from around the world after Obama's victory. (11/07)
Now Network web site. Information overkill, and a "wow" thrown in for good measure. (11/07)
change.gov is up. Seems like a quick job, but change is certainly happening quickly. (11/07)
John Francis: I walk the Earth. "Let us all change now." (11/06)
