365 Project, by Sue

1. 365 Project: My Sistafromanothamotha (Hi Ellen!), Sue, has started keeping this radical photo-diary, and I just think it’s the bee’s knees.

2. Spreadtweet: This handy app disguises your Twitter page as a business-y spreadsheet. So you can give off that, “Very Important Things Going On Here,” vibe whilst you tweet away. I further recommend donning a monocle and top hat, to give the illusion of optimum professionalism.

3. NSFW Hoopers Electric Art Show: This beautiful art show had several tattoo artists create full-body tattoo designs on a single female body photograph. The results are some of the most ambitious, gorgeous tattoos you can imagine: art truly surpassing its medium. NSFW for nudity

4. French Elle’s No-Makeup Issue: As if I needed another reason to love this magazine: the French Elle has just released it’s newest issue featuring eight female European celebrities sans-makeup or Photoshop. What a powerful, beautiful, bold statement. Bravo. American Elle, please follow suit!

5. Robo in The City: Kacie Kinzer, an NYU art student, proposed a remarkable, adorable experiment: place one cute little robot in the midst of New York City’s Washington Square Park, and see what happens. The results are surprising, funny and heartwarming.

6. Platform21 Repair Manifesto: All Hail DIY: This design collective in Amsterdam lays down the law on a new world order of self-repair – instead of chucking your damaged property, experiment, sew, and modify it up into unique pieces that capture the history and the love that has been placed into them.

7. World Beard & Mustache Championships: Prepare to experience some of the most spectacular facial hair the world has ever seen. Viva la ‘stache!

And finally, I leave you with this strange and wonderful music video, paying homage to that mouthless little wonder, Hello Kitty. I promise you, you have never seen her like this…

Holi – the Festival of Colors

1. Holi: Festival of Colors: In India and other countries with large Hindu populations, Holi, the Festival of Colors is celebrated. Holi is celebrated as a welcoming of Spring, and a celebration of the triumph of good over evil.

2. WALL-E Computer Case Mod: People with time on your hands, listen to me: you could be doing THIS. Making your computer look like an adorable robot. Or better yet, making MY computer look like an adorable robot.

3. The Brand Gap: Nubby Twiglet hooks us all up, and posts a fantastic book on brand identity. If you are a designer, or interested in design, READ THIS.

4. Flickr: The Commons: This project by Flickr’s has two goals: To increase access to publicly-held photography collections, and to provide a way for the general public to contribute information and knowledge to their creative commons archive. The result is a beautiful library of shared work.

5. MIT Mystery Hunt: Like puzzles? Once a year, MIT hosts one of the world’s greatest and most complex puzzle solving weekends. Take a gander at the archives of past weekends, and see if you have the cerebral fortitude to crack some of these gems.

6. The Red Meat Scare: A new study shows some startling evidence that red meat might be far worse for us than we ever before thought possible. Cows celebrate in the streets.

7. Kindred Wallpapers: I am always on the hunt for wonderful wallpapers, and nearly hit the roof when I discovered this site this week. Beautiful work by talented artists.

And finally, I can’t get enough of this SNL short, Andy Sandberg’s “People Getting Punched in the Face While Eating”. Suffice to say, I am much more careful whilst eating my sandwich…
