Alphabetised Bible

Not entirely sure what this piece is about by Tauba Auerbach but I'm assuming it's along the lines of everything that's in the bible isn't true so it doesn't matter whether you can read it or not. Or maybe that if you have complete and utter faith in Christianity, it doesn't matter what order the letters are in, they are still the words of God. I like it though, whatever it's about.

awesomeness...its the best thing I've seen in over a month

Matthew Cusick - Images that don't exist

These are some quite amazing uses of maps. I know these 'road' ones above aren't real places but if Ordnance Survey did an equivalent of Google Street View, it would be incredible if it looked something like these.

Badminton 2011

Went to Badminton for the first time this year and thought it was great, don't have any preconceptions about the type of people you might expect to be milling around, if you want to see an animal doing what it is fully capable of, this is the place to see it. The power of these horses is immense, a really great day out (the sun helped).

Get your Friday funk on

Kacper Hamilton Drinking set

Designed for Ballantine's I think this is one of the best looking drinking accessories/sets/essentials I have ever seen, especially in relation to whiskey.

This is brilliant.
Robo-Rainbow is one of Akay his “Instruments of Mass Destructions”, a.k.a. “complicated technical solutions to aide in simple acts of vandalism”.

Scale of the Universe

Came across this a little while ago, but was reminded by Jonathan Barnbrook today via Twitter:

I suggest you don't look at it if you're having one of those "what's the point in anything that I do"...days. Probably won't help.

New Skins trailer

Loving the trailer for the new series of Skins. Maybe I'll watch this series

Alcowebizer

For the first post of 2011 I thought something alcohol-ish related would be appropriate. I am currently not drinking for as long as I can be bothered to keep it up...most likely January 31st. This is not however a new year's resolution, because I don't make new year's resolutions, due to the pressure it creates everytime I walk past the alcohol section in a supermarket or near a pub. Pressure isn't something I want, so it is simply an act I felt like taking, and it just so happens to be January...no pressure.
As I assume at least one other person is abstaining from alcohol at the moment (that's what I tell myself anyway) I thought I'd post a link for a website that will remind you what you are missing when you stumble in drunk and turn on your computer for a late night surf (hastily made sandwich in-hand, crumbs falling down between the gaps in the key board).

http://www.alcowebizer.com/ will create an alcoholically induced view of any website you choose. Bottoms up.

Happy 2011
