001. In Living Color—Shackleton’s Endurance
“By now, the voyage of Ernest Shackleton and his crew on the Endurance is a part of adventure lore, the story well told how despite the loss of the ship to crushing Antarctic ice in 1915, Shackleton kept his men safe and their morale up for more than 500 days, eventually landing their lifeboats on Elephant Island and then going on with a small crew to find rescue at a whaling station on South Georgia Island. It is one of the great survival tales of all time, and thanks to the glass plate negatives of photographer Frank Hurley, we’re able to get a small glimpse what it was like. Not so widely known is that Hurley also shot color photos of the Endurance and its crew. He used an early polychrome process called paget, which was patented in 1912 in England and remained in use until the 1920s. Paget used two plates, one a traditional black and white negative, the other a red, green, and blue screen (sound familiar?). Hurley retrieved his negatives from the sinking Endurance, but only 150 out of 550 were saved.”
“It’s hard to describe how excited I was to see some of my blogging colleagues become as passionate about blogging ethics and etiquette as I was. For the last year or so I’ve been quietly talking to blogging friends to see if they were as itchy as I was to create some sort of conversation about what we will and won’t stand for in terms of the way we behave and the way other people behave toward us. It was the reason I created the Blogging Etiquette panel at Alt this year and the reason I decided to write the longest three Biz Ladies posts of my life two months ago. One of the major issues I covered was crediting (when, how and why you should do it) and I was thrilled to see that Pia and Erin took that idea one step further and created this playful (but helpful and practical) poster with artist Yvette Boven that will help anyone interested in crediting issues get some clarification. I’m a firm believer that rising tides raise all ships, and I’m so happy to see more people taking their blogs seriously. I really believe it will help everyone in our community and aid in the cause of mainstream media taking us a bit more seriously. Congrats to these ladies on their hard work and this great poster.”
“The Committee” exposes the risk to the potential of an idea when driven by a collective will — when the original motivation and criteria take a back seat to the impulsive decisions of individual committee members. You are the ultimate driver in this unfolding narrative of control.Meticulously handcrafted from industrial grade materials in a limited production of 25 units.

001. Annie Leibovitz’s Disney Photography
“Awhile back some awesome photos surfaced featuring a few big Hollywood names as live-action versions of Disney’s classic animated characters. The first batch featured the likes of Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella and Rachel Weisz as Snow White. The second batch featured Tina Fey as Tinkerbell and even Jessica Biel as Pocahontas. Now a new batch from Annie Leibovitz has shown up with Olivia Wilde as the Evil Queen and Alec Baldwin as The Magic Mirror from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Penelope Cruz and Jeff Bridges as Beauty and the Beast and Queen Latifah as Ursula from The Little Mermaid.

“The days of thumbing through the classified section of the local paper are quickly fading. Most of us have turned toward more modern means to search for employment, apartments and “vintage” furniture, namely Craigslist. With its mass of information the site can sometimes be hard to navigate so for those who pine for simpler days, Lifelike Apps, INC. has just released a slick iPad app with a classic twist.”

001. Game of Thrones—The Maester’s Path
“Step forth now as a maester, one who teaches the young, heals the sick, and advises the lords of the seven kingdoms. All maester’s bear a chain, forged link by link, a symbol of our learning. Forge five links, proving you have journeyed the Maester’s path. Along the path, gather five novices to strengthen our Citadel. The path will be difficult, but comes with its own rewards. Step onto the Path…”

“Iconic Pulitzer winning journalist and author Jimmy Breslin has covered and lived the tales that have shaped our lives, from a personal dialogue with The Son of Sam, David Berkowitz, to NYC mafia investigative reporting that included a near fatal beating at the hands of the Lucchese crime family. Sometimes lost in his gritty tough guy demeanor is his common man approach to cataclysmic events. We revisit his iconic vantage of the funeral of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in the New York Herald Tribune, November 1963.”
“Last post I shared that I might have to put this amazing trunk design on hold and move forward. Lo and behold one of my manufactures is a follower of the website. Shortly after the post I get a phone call requesting a meeting. Two days later I’m in his office and he’s asking to get a better understanding of what is the vision, where is the “artistic glitch” and what’s the over all problem we keep running into?”

“Under My Roof its presented as a conceptual exercise and consists of 3 variations: 3 houses, 3 different needs. Together they generate a kind of neighbourhood, creating a unique skyline, fun, but always functional. Thanks to the selected details and materials it can be used by children and adults alike.”
“For the most part, Gnome Life sounds like your typical Tumblr: a flannel-clad young guy moves to New York and posts lots of vaguely artsy photos of himself staring off into the distance. But there’s a twist: he’s a one-hundred-eight-year-old gnome. Like, white beard, red hat gnome.” (via Urlesque)
“Solowheel is the smallest, greenest, most convenient People Mover ever invented. Gyroscope technology is behind this new self-balancing electric unicycle that is more compact and fun to ride than any folding electric bike!“
