Transportation
Awesome. Okay, it’s Photoshop. I don’t care.
BTW the original bike pics are shiny too. (Ouch — need shades.)
Living here outside of Seattle, the biggest user of memory space in my brain is pothole locations. I don’t really drive like a stoned monkey.

What happens when you let an airplane mechanic build a Moto-Guzzi cafe racer? Magic.

Science
Psychopaths are … heavy users of dopamine? Maybe it’s not the lack of inhibitions or lack of fear of the consequences of bucking social norms that prompts their actions, but differences in their reward seeking behavior. Interesting set of insights.
Very pretty sunset image looking away from the sun. The bright star is Mars.

Society
From the website of the British charity Shelterbox. The contents of a simple plastic tote box that can provide mid-term shelter for up to 10 people in the aftermath of a natural or civil disaster. Nicely executed.

Art, Images, and Design
A little something from my passion — jewelry. Rings with houses, or maybe houses with rings. Some complete with swimming pools or courtyards. Phillipe Tournaire.
More houses, but not in precious metal. This piece is from the senior thesis exhibition of the Kyoto University of Art and Design.

Animation
Another entry from the Oscar short-list for short animation. “Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty,” Oh my, I may never sleep again. Dark, cackling, and well grimm. Disney will never recover.
go get ’em my dears.
