An inventive German gentleman has managed to stick a camera on Mr. Lee, his pet cat, and set it to take photos on an interval. The result is an interesting look at the world from the innocent perspective of man's second-best friend.

 Their tunes aren't my bag, but you've got to dole out some props to these guys. Using Guitar Hero controllers, MAX/MSP and some synth they've got what seems like the first Guitar Hero controller based band, The Guitar Zeros. Link

I get into tea kicks every so often, I must admit, as refined as tea-tottling is, I can't make it stick. Next wave will be a little more interesting though, thanks to fullbloomtea.com. They offer tea balls which when submersed in hot water will bloom into full bouquets ( best made in a clear teapot ). The ball...

Bunch of folks I know are learning to play guitar, so I thought I'd post this, truthfully I can't remember which of my RSS feeds had it, if any. This would've been an awesome resource when I was learning the basics, free online video lessons each one going through one song, from pop to rock to folk. Combined with the amount of tab and chord files online, newbs are all set! Next Level Guitar

 There's something so mysterious and magical about this fellow and what he does that makes the world a little less drab. This is a Danish video ( click the image ) of an interview with Gaeoudjiparl/Goodiepal a wonderfully odd musician. Fast forward to about 16 min...

Here's a spotting that couldn't help but catch our eye: Rock and Royal creates chandeliers with attitude, made to order. The company veers sharply away from the standard ring and crown shapes that adorn swank homes and hotels across the world. Fusing posh and punk, Rock and Royal's chandeliers can take any shape—from champagne bottle to skull & bones.

 Fantastic design for the future we'll never see.
They call it a Dandella, named for a dandelion floating on the breeze, though it behaves more like a sunflower: this hand-held GPS tracking device lights up and physically bends and points towards its location or another Dandella that it's been synchronised ...

Any major survey of the most important works of Op Art promises to play up the definition of the genre as "art which deliberately demands too much of the eye."
