PHOTO BY CARL LARSON, FLICKR THIS PHOTO, BY CARL LARSON, LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING DONE IN PHOTOSHOP, but it’s actually much more interesting than that. If you look closely at the right side of the photo, the stripes of color are actually three-dimensional tubes, and that they’re not all the same distance from the camera. The right side of the photo is the Le Moretti installation at La Defense, Paris. It’s a huge building-sized cylinder with tubes of different thicknesses and...

PHOTO BY SEAN DORAN, FLICKR THIS SERIES OF PHOTOS SEQUENCED INTO A VIDEO, BY SEAN DORAN, AND WAS TOO COOL NOT TO POST. This is a wonderfully composed and tracked time-lapse of our sun which took Sean around to week to photograph. Containing beautifully intense reds and yellows, along with a great level of detail, this does a great job of showing the dynamic, super-powerful nature of the giant burning ball in space.

PHOTO BY ULRICH NEITZEL, FLICKR I LOVE PATTERNS, SO THIS PHOTO, BY ULRICH NEITZEL, IS REALLY APPEALING TO ME. A great example of how static man-made objects can produce beautiful photography from the right photographer. I really love the perspective and the monochromatic color palette.

PHOTO BY BRYAN MEYER1, FLICKR WOAH, THIS PHOTO, BY BRYAN MEYER1, IS AMAZING. Beautiful long-exposure clouds create a super-soft look. The orange, green and blue tones create a bit of an unusual, oddly intense, color-palette for a photo of this type.

My new glasses with plastic frames slip down my nose. I got my new glasses recently from an online store, and I love the plastic frames, except they have no friction. Every time I moved my head, the glasses fall down slightly. I was forced to keep pushing them up all day. It was terrible. Okay, it’s a first world problem for sure, but it’s one I’d rather eliminate. So I started my search for anti-slip glasses products. Here’s what I found, and the best of the possible options. Second best...

PHOTO BY TAYLOR GRUYE, FLICKR THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT SMOKE ON A REALLY COLD DAY that feels super energetic. You know, like when it’s way, way below freezing and car exhaust looks so much bigger and fuller than normal? This photo by Taylor Gruye highlights one of the great aspects of art: The ability to get something aesthetically positive out of even a thing so negative as pollution. This photo has a real beauty about it, evoking an atmosphere of a very cold day, with very pale...

PHOTO BY STAMATIS LLIADAKIS, FLICKR I LOVE CONCRETE, AND I THINK STAMATIS ILIADAKIS, THE CREATOR OF THIS PHOTO, MIGHT TOO. This almost-surreal perspective in an unusual location is really beautiful in its simplicity. With an unblemished gradient of sky as the only background, this location could be suspended in the air for all I can tell, and is reminiscent of an old video game where the processing power of the system cannot handle complex, 3D backgrounds. I like how this is composed so as...

PHOTO FROM QUARTZ BOTTLE ON KICKSTARTER I HAVEN’T BACKED A SINGLE PROJECT ON KICKSTARTER, YET. However, I am often tempted to do so. For years, and with increasing frequency, I’ve been seeing really cool gadgets and life-improving devices on Kickstarter, so someday I will most likely just go for it. The QUARTZ Bottle is one of those really cool devices that I consider backing. I like this, not only because of its main bacteria-killing feature, but also because it is one of the...

PHOTO FROM STARBUCKS.COM STARBUCKS IS PERPETUALLY MAKING MOVES, especially in Chicago, according to Starbucks: “This spectrum of Starbucks retail experiences is not new for Chicago: Since opening in 1987, the Chicago customer has seen many firsts from the company…” The newest inclusion in the “spectrum” of Starbucks in Chicago is their planned Chicago Reserve Roastery, illustrated as a very impressively massive (43,000 square feet!), shiny, glass concept and set...
