The Truth About SOPA
“Any company that is providing great content online in a way that’s easy to use with a fair price has a booming business right now. The people who don’t are trying to fight that future. So here we have this legislation, with all of these possible harms, to solve a problem that only exists in the minds of people who are afraid of the future. Why should the government be intervening on...

U.S. Highway System Re-Imagined As a Subway System
Designer Cameron Booth:
Like the Interstate system, the U.S. Routes (mainly) conform to a numbered grid system. Evenly numbered highways run from west to east, with low numbers in the north (U.S. 2 is the lowest) rising to the highest numbers in the south (U.S. 98 in Florida). Numbers ending in a “0″ are considered “major” routes and are given their own unique colour on the map....

Awesome Federal Donuts T-Shirt
Philly’s Federal Donuts, the joint that only serves fried chicken, gourmet donuts and coffee, may not have been great at fortelling supply and demand ratios (they always sell out before closing. What did they expect from Philadelphians!?) but they are great at having a sense of humor.

Mashable:
PR Manager Paul Rayment is mapping the history of famous rappers on the location-based service, adding note-worthy locations in the buildup to their careers. Rayment has mapped Tupac’s roots and he plans to chronicle Jay-Z next.
This is a really interesting way to bring a narrative to life and make it social.

Rare Devo Live TV Transmission from 1978
Dangerous Minds:
“Devo’s appearance on Saturday Night Live on October 14, 1978 was a visitation from a rock and roll galaxy far far away and yet so near. It was as if aliens from another planet had created a concept of Earthlings based on old television transmissions they’d hijacked of industrial training films, Triumph Of The Will, episodes of Hullabaloo and Saturday morning cartoons...

MTV's "Sex is No Accident" Spots
Superpunch:
“80’s cartoon-themed spots by Grey for MTV remind that sex is no accident. (The “sex” sound effect is particularly good.)”
A well-executed reminder of how good MTV’s advertising used to be.

WantToKnow writes: [modified from original]
In the documentary “The Secret Government” (which you can view in full above) host Bill Moyers focused on the circumstances and the conspiracies surrounding the Iran-Contra affair, but also exposes the inner workings of a secret government much more vast that most people would ever imagine. Though originally broadcast in 1987, it is...

In sixth form at school, we discussed the merits Quark,...

CanvasPop Turns Your Instagrams Into Wall Art
TechCrunch writes:
CanvasPop has found a way to blow up Instagrams and print them as beautiful canvas paintings. See, Instagram’s filters reduce graininess and so does the texture of canvas. This means that even at 20″ by 20″, almost 10x their size on the iPhone, $60 CanvasPop prints look wall-worthy.
Built on the Instagram API, users can visit the CanvasPop website and authenticate with...

The Mobile Phone/Tablet Hybrid
Yanko Design writes:
Do we really need the tablet and the smartphone to be two different entities? If you ask these trio designers their answer is no! The Part is the coexistence of a smartphone and a tablet as one whole device. You can remove the phone for individual use, however together they tango even better!

“Skinemax is Koyaanisqatsi for a generation raised on late night television and B-movie VHS tapes. It’s long form entertainment for short attention spans. An hour long VJ odyssey, it will move your body and warp your mind. A nostalgic look back at a half remembered childhood growing up in the 80s...

In the Swedish village of Hrads, population 600, sits a hotel where the aesthetic of the rooms alternates between of-the-earth and unearthly.

And then there’s the UFO (pictured above), which lets guests pretend...
