As disappointed as I am with his term, I was ready to believe this for half a heart beat. This video is fake, but pretty well done. Come on Obama, get some for cryin’ out loud…

If you’re truly living the good life, you want your sandwiches to be fresh, right? What else could you ask for? Sandwhich saver? More like Life saver.

A few pics from the Extreme Zone Shop in Legoland Florida. I think it’s less than a year old, and it shows a little. I don’t think it would be worth the cash if it was even moderately busy. For instance the “Factory” exhibit is the shoddiest fake animatronic display that looks like it was designed in one weekend to be temporarily set up in a mall. The park is geared towards little kids though, and mine had a blast. The Extreme Zone shop was just like any shop at the mall or airport. They didn’t give me any grief for moving a few displays out of the way to get the mini ramp in frame.

“Dear Friend, I so enjoyed our session yesterday. Let’s rip together again some time soon. Yours in counterculture, Bobby.” Bohemian Greeting Cards, available at a gift shop going out of business soon. Check your mall for details. It’s only a matter of time before my mother in-law sends me one of these. I should start an “office pool.”

Check out this Lego hoverboard that actually floats, thanks to some magnets.

More, more, more. How do ya like it? How do ya like it? What do you do with a couple hundred misprinted design retrospective books? Invite other designers to see what they can make of them. Alberto Villarreal and his team at AGENT, ended up weaving them together and covering them with resin in a homemade mold to make skateboards. Super strong, but heavier and more flexible than wood, so it’s not going to be mass produced any time soon.

It says right on the package that it’s “cool” so it must be, right? Or is it a command. Cool dessert (or risk getting salmonella.) In any case, the packaging makes it look like some sort of nutritional product for senior citizens or babies.

Great video, really. Captures two decades of skating, the innocence of youth, humor. It’s magic, and I’m not (very) drunk. She’s so Rad is the band, In Circles is the song. Bonus: The band’s web site has an unexplained still of J. Mascis doing the double daffy. These guys may or may not be from New Zealand.

Some things… just not a good idea. Widen that stance! I’m so afraid for her. Photoshopped? No way to tell since the original is lost in Interwebs&trade obscurity. Here’s where I ffffound this one.

Somebody’s house in the Netherlands has skateboards for stairs, as seen on Architectenweb.nl. Nice to look at, probably annoying to walk on. Again, I applaud the gumption of anyone who executes and idea so well, but then sometimes it just isn’t worth it.
