This bench (aptly named Romeo & Juliet, though supposedly for the trees) is not only designed around romantic encounters, its construction seems to virtually force people to sit closer together to keep it from tipping over.

Though it looks simple enough and certainly adds a nice touch of green, the subtle placement of two potted plants by designers Vyvey creates an obvious seating space in between them – gently pressuring people to sit closer to one another. Only its creators know for sure whether this was an innocent accident of design or a calculated and clever work of social engineering tied up in a basic-looking bench-and-planter design.

Me and Weston wrote up a a note to put in this wine bottle with places to sign dedicated to people who’ve survived studio here at Georgia Tech and we floated the bottle in the fountain. 30 minutes later it’d had already been found, opened, the note scanned, scan uploaded to facebook, and both of us tagged in the picture. Only at Tech

Seriously. This is your flagship store–the Adidas store. Why put up for sale an atrocity such as this that I have no clue as to who would buy it?

Yes. I built shelves out of foam. Heck. Yes.

I revisited my first geocache, where earlier I had left a hot wheels car in the cup, and this made me smile :)

Don’t give me a pad of paper. I will build things. I will not listen. I apologize.

Sam Weber posted some images of the illustrated edition of Lord of the Flies and they’re absolutely stunning. Working with The Folio Society he was able to illustrate key scenes in the book, giving an intense reality to the classic book. I know that if I would have read this book in high school with these images I would have been a hell of a lot more interested in it. I’m a very visual person and this would have absolutely filled in all the blanks for me.

Sadly, you have to be a member of The Folio Society to buy the book, otherwise I would purchase this in a heartbeat. You can click here to see more images of the book on Sam’s site.

The chocoholic in me chuckled when seeing this Chocolate Bar Magnet. Like a real chocolate bar you can break it into 15 pieces to be used individually or combined in any way you like. (Of course, be careful if you have little kids around, we know, that magnets are superdangerous when swallowed!)
