Folding Keyboard

This folding keyboard is a concept designed by Yoonsang Kim & Eunsung Park. It is portable and small enough to take with you everywhere. It is full-sized when unfolded, but then it folds like a Japanese fan when you want to hit the road.

Michel Dines In Hell: A Halloween Project

So guys, get this. My friend Michel is one of the craziest people I know and I absolutely love him for it.

His latest insanity is a 65 day halloween costume project/challenge to transform his body from an unfit blob (98.5kgs) to lean and muscular 85kg one, to be able to pull off dressing up as King Leonidas on Halloween.

You see, he just absolutely adores the movie 300. He always has. He's watched it over 50 times, knows all the lines by heart and lives his life based on all that he could learn from that movie. What pushed him over the edge you say? Well, on his last birthday, which wasn't too long ago, he got a Spartan helmet as a gift and thats when he just went totally berserk!

He decided to BECOME Leonidas (or as close to him as possible) in time for Halloween.

The stuff he goes through is just CRAZY! He put his body through so much strain and pressure but he was determined to do it. He even had to go to the hospital a few times! And so, he started a blog called Michel Dines In Hell '10 where he blogs about his daily adventures, fitness, nutrition among other fun stuff.

Now, with only a few more days left to go, check out the results; body, beard, tan etc.

The determination, the will power. Its definitley awe-inspiring.

Awesome! Im so proud of him :D

The Flying Carpet

Using digital Iranian artist Seyed Alavi had an aerial view of the Sacramento River woven into a carpet for the floor of a pedestrian bridge connecting the Sacramento International Airport terminal to the parking garage.

The carpet can be read and experienced as a “welcome mat” for visitors arriving in Sacramento.

Mouth Watering Foodscapes

London-based artist Carl Warner creates amazing food landscapes he refers to as foodscapes. Whether he uses vegetables, various bakery products or meat, his incredible foodscapes are entirely edible and look absolutely mindblowing.

The process usually starts with him drawing a sketch of the foodscape, then the set is created, and finally, he takes photos of it and retouches them on his Mac.
